You can do all kinds of wonderful things with cameras and image recognition. However, sometimes spatial data is useful, too. As [madmcu] demonstrates, you can use depth data from a time-of-flight ...

CMOS image sensors have become a cornerstone of modern imaging, leveraging the advantages of low power consumption, high speed, and scalability inherent in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor ...

Every robotics project out there, it seems, needs a way to detect if it’s smashing into a wall repeatedly, acting like the brainless automaton it actually is. The Roomba has wall sensors, just about ...

The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Microsoft’s Kinect introduced XBox 360 gamers to 3D sensors and body gesture recognition. It utilized technology from PrimeSense that ...

To accomplish the task, they developed angular dispersion control schemes to generate counter-propagating Stokes and pump Bessel light bullets with positive and negative v g, respectively. The phase ...

A time-to-digital converter (TDC) is like a stopwatch measuring the elapsed interval between two events with picosecond precision, converting this into a digital value for post-processing. Many space ...

The various ways your PC-screen “privacy” can be compromised. How a sensitive time-of-flight (ToF) transducer can be a critical privacy (and power-saving) building block. The many circumstances for ...
