ESPROS TOFcam-660 Installation And Operation Manual

General Description
The TOFcam-660 is a cost optimized 3D camera. It is based on the
ESPROS proprietary time-of-flight technology using the epc660
TOF flagship chip. The camera controls the illumination and the im-
ager chip to obtain distance and grayscale images. The depth im-
ages are compensated against ambient light, temperature and re-
flectivity of the scene. By using one of the offered ESPROS user
interfaces, 3D point clouds in a cartesian coordinate system are
available. Thanks to the high performance of the imager chip with
the unique ambient light suppression, the camera can be used un-
der full sunlight condition.
This document allows a TOFcam-660 user easily to get the camera
connected and started using a computer. It contains a description
of all features of the device as well as all functions of GUI and ROS
application. The complete description of interfaces, protocols and
commands allows to connect the module to integrated systems. A
software development kit (SDK) with all C++ source codes,
libraries and drivers including is available by ordering the ESPROS
epc660 evaluation kit.
