From Light to Insight - AI Enabled Time of Flight Sensors
Abstract:
In this talk, we will dive on a journey into a decade of evolution of Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensing. In the last 10 years, ToF sensors have come a long way. Improvements include ranging from 10cm to 10m, from single zones to 2000 zones, and from simple sensors to complete systems with lenses and diffusers. Currently, these sensors are equipped with AI processors that enable smart presence detection, head orientation, hand gesture detection, and air quality monitoring. We will explore the design, architecture and operation of ToF sensors and discuss several intriguing applications enabled by AI applied on ToF sensor stream.
