Time-of-Flight Solutions

We offer a range of Time-of-Flight (ToF) solutions from leading manufacturers in the field.

 

Our portfolio includes indirect and direct Time-of-Flight (i-ToF & d-ToF) sensors suitable for operating ranges from 15mm up to a maximum of 100m unambiguous range, or 200m when used with a retroreflector.

 

Our ToF sensors incorporate optical filtering and are capable of providing accurate ranging under ambient light conditions of 100klux, equivalent to direct illumination of full sunlight. However, the maximum range achieved will depend upon the ambient light level and the remission characteristics of the target. 

 

 

We also supply a comprehensive range of innovative 3D depth cameras based on indirect-ToF measurement. These cameras offer exceptional vision accuracy and are available as a choice of models including short-range (3m with wide field-of-view); long range (up to 7m) and high resolution (true VGA), all with depth accuracy of <±1%.

 

 

In order to provide this broad portfolio of ToF solutions APT is engaged with suppliers from Germany, Taiwan and South Korea:- 

 

• Broadcom (Germany): AFBR-S50 Series indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) modules for unambiguous operation up to 100m.
• Edison Opto (Taiwan): Ultracompact direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) sensors operating up to 5 metre range.
• Meerecompany (South Korea): Cube-Eye family of high resolution indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) 3D depth cameras. 

 

Applications of ToF technology span consumer electronics, industrial, military and medical systems, including:-
