  • Page 14: Principle Of Time Of Flight

    5 Principle of Time of Flight Scope of remote sensing technology · Presence or proximity detection, where the absence or presence of an object in a general area is the only information that is required (e.g., for security applications). This is the simplest form of remote sensing; ·...
  • Page 15: Range-Gated Imaging Tof

    The difficulty in implementing the direct time-of-flight measurement method resides in the time intervals to be measured. In order to resolve a distance to centimeter-level accuracy, the required accuracy for the timers is 67 ps. Implemented in digital logic, this would require a 15 GHz clock speed, which is obviously not practical. Therefore, various time-to-digital conversion methods are typically used.
  • Page 16: Continuous Waveform Tof

    By measuring the energy received in successive integration intervals, it is possible to extrapolate the distance between the sensor and the measured object, based on the ratio of energy received in the different intervals. The difficulty with range-gated imaging is that CCD and CMOS imagers have a limited dynamic range;...

    5.1.4 Zense ToF Principle Zense DCAM710 product principle is based on range-gated imaging ToF solution, and the sensor inside is based on Panasonic CCD sensor MN34906.
  • Page 18: Noise Factors

    Noise Factors 5.2.1 Ambient Light Because the ToF distance measurement relies on the reflection of light sent out by the camera, any additional light, e.g. artificial light sources or sunlight, may influence the measurement results. A strong ambient light may affect the accuracy and precision of the depth data, the Zense DCAM 800 is suggested to in user below 50K LUX ambient light.

    If you need other range mode requirement, you can ask Zense team to do range customization, reasonable NRE fee will be charged. One range mode of the Zense DCAM710 camera can fulfill furthest distance be at most 5 times of nearest distance. For example, if the near limitation is 0.4m, then the furthest distance in this mode can reach about 2m.
