Omron’s ToF sensor offers real-time 3D sensing of distance to humans or objects
Omron EMC’s B5L ToF (Time of Flight) sensor uses the flight time of light to measure distances to objects. The B5L ToF sensor is able to turn captured images into 3D images and can measure at a speed of 20 frames per second, allowing it to track the movement of objects three-dimensionally. The B5L TOF sensor uses extensive distance information that enables the sensor to identify its peripheral environment. The B5L ToF sensor offers powerful ambient light immunity to ensure stable detection performance free from saturation even in bright places, achieves high output accuracy for compensated signals, has a long life thanks to Omron’s unique circuit design and heat emission design, and is ideal for applications that require the use of multiple devices (such as robots) at the same time.
