Ambient light compensation is one of the key issues for using 3D time of flight cameras in outdoor applications. The ESPROS epc6xx family impresses by its performance even under full sunlight. This thanks to its unique pixel design and chip architecture. The video sequence shows the capability of an epc660 based TOFcam-660 with direct sunlight into the receiver lens but full sunlight on a high reflective target as well.
Our TOFcam 660-NF is able to capture real-time 3D data in a range of up to 65m with a 31° horizontal x 24° vertical field of view. Due to the active NIR illumination of all of our TOFcam 660 models the camera operates with same performance at daylight or in total darkness. Even objects with very low reflectivity have been visualized and detected within incredible distance. For better orientation the in-line placed reflectors mark a 10m distance each.
This video shows you a typical scenery where people meet in an office, on a booth or any other meeting place. The sequence was captured with our brand new TOF>cam 660-WF with a 108° horizontal and 77° vertical field of view. The camera was operated in a distance range of about 0.5 to 9m and illustrates the distance data with a perspectific point cloud visualization tool. Due to the real 3D information the point-cloud can be calculated and simulated from points of view different to the one of the camera.
Our TOF imager chip epc660 gives you huge capabilities in time of flight imaging. The corresponding evaluation kit contains an extensive package of software tools. Various standard configurations allows you a fast and easy start for applications such as face recognition e.g.
