A Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D Camera is a high-speed imaging system that calculates distance by measuring the exact time it takes for an infrared light pulse to travel to an object and back to the sensor. By processing this "flight time" for every pixel simultaneously, it generates high-frame-rate 3D depth maps and point clouds with millimetric precision.
Its primary advantage is its compact, shutterless design and high-speed data output, which allows for reliable performance even in low-light or rapidly changing environments. This makes it an ideal solution for gesture control, indoor robotic navigation (AMR), and logistics volume measurement, where real-time spatial awareness is a functional necessity.
