How ToF Camera Works

A time of flight camera is a type of camera that uses light waves to measure the distance between two points. This technology is often used in industrial applications, such as inspecting parts or monitoring production lines.

What Are the Features of Vzense ToF Camera

In this blog, we are going to using DCAM550 made by Vzense as an example:

The Vzense ToF DCAM550 Camera is a leading-edge Time-of-Flight (ToF) distance camera that offers exceptional accuracy, speed, and efficiency in distance measurement applications. The camera is equipped with a Nuvoton TOF CCD sensor and 940nm VCSEL laser emitter, making it capable of capturing high-quality images with a resolution frame rate of 640*480 and a maximum frame rate of 30fps. The camera features a USB2.0 and RS485 interface for easy connectivity to various devices. With a power consumption of less than 5W and a power supply range of 12V24V, the camera is energy-efficient and cost-effective. The accuracy error is less than 1%, ensuring that measurements are precise and reliable. The camera has a detection distance range of 0.35m6m, making it suitable for various applications. The software platform is compatible with both Windows and Linux, ensuring that it is accessible to a wide range of users. The camera has a protection level of IP42/IP67, making it resistant to dust and water damage. In summary, the Vzense ToF DCAM550 Camera is a cutting-edge ToF distance camera that offers high accuracy, speed, efficiency, and protection level, making it ideal for a wide range of distance measurement applications.

Real-Life Analysis: Pallet identification

For some warehouses with complex goods placement environment, the position of pallets placed by manual/truck is not precise enough, which leads to the unmanned forklift relying on traditional mechanical limit or monocular camera recognition cannot accurately identify pallets, and often the docking position of unmanned forklift is offset by a large angle, thus leading to the failure of fork feeding and low forklift efficiency.

In order to fix this issue, Vzense offers the solution. Relying on the industrial-grade 3D ToF camera DCAM550 launched by Wisepoint Technology for pallet image acquisition, combined with the corresponding image processing algorithm to identify forklift cargo pallets and get their position and attitude coordinates, intelligently adjust the fork feeding direction so as to realize unmanned intelligent pallet handling and solve the problem of large offset angle of unmanned forklift docking pallet position. At the same time, the pallet recognition model is reinforced with artificial intelligence algorithms for training and deep learning to improve its accuracy of recognizing and tracking forklift cargo pallets.
