Understanding Indirect ToF Depth Sensing

Oliver April 16, 2021 Apr 16, 2021 04/16/21

Now that you’ve had a chance to read the Intro to Indirect Time-of-Flight (ToF) post, let’s dig a little deeper into the mechanics behind the Microsoft implementation of time-of-flight depth sensing, as well as a couple functional advantages it presents. How does “Indirect” ToF work? To recap, “time-of-flight” refers to emitting ...

Moore’s Law for ToF Pixels

swati March 8, 2021 Mar 8, 2021 03/8/21

In 1975 Gordon Moore made a prediction which became famous as Moore’s law which states that the number of transistors in a microchip doubles every two years (or 18 months depending on who you talk to) (Figure 1). The simplified version of this law states that the processing power or processing speed doubles every two years. Translating to ...

Intro to Microsoft Time Of Flight (ToF)

cybamji January 26, 2021 Jan 26, 2021 01/26/21

Brief: 3D vision sensing is very different than 2D imaging and time of flight is an effective technique to develop accurate object depth maps.      I have never created a Facebook or Twitter account, and this is my 1st ever blog post. I started working on Time of Flight (ToF) circa 2000 and ToF has been my passion and some would say my ...
