The OMRON B5L 3D TOF (Time-of-Flight) Sensor Module operates on the proven time-of-flight principle. The sensor is a “mechanical eye” capable of accurately and easily detecting the surrounding environment even in sub-optimal conditions such as under sunlight. Featuring a 940nm near-infrared emitter and 240 x 320 pixel receiving array, the sensor gives ranging information for the entire field of view and measures the absolute distance to objects from 0.5m to 4m. The sensor ranges entire field of view at up to 20 fps for mobile guidance and moving-object detection.
Applications include autonomous robots, factory automation, security systems and patient monitoring.
