A Detailed Guide to Confidence Filtering in Indirect Time of Flight Cameras

Prabu Kumar
by Prabu Kumar
Indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) sensors are among the most widely used 3D camera technologies for depth estimation. However, noisy depth measurements can limit their ability to deliver reliable, high-quality depth data. Applying appropriate filtering techniques helps improve accuracy by suppressing noisy pixels and enhancing depth reliability....

3D Mobile Mapping for Digital Twins: Camera Features That Ensure Accuracy

Ram Prasad
by Ram Prasad
Digital twins depend on how accurately physical environments are captured, reconstructed, and updated over time. Mobile mapping systems feed imaging data of streets, facilities, and structures into photogrammetry and SLAM pipelines to create virtual models. Therefore, camera performance determines if a digital twin can support simulation, planning, and monitoring with...

Indirect Time-of-Flight: Continuous-Wave or Pulsed – Which Suits Your Needs?

Prabu Kumar
by Prabu Kumar
Indirect ToF has emerged as a practical depth-sensing method for automation, robotics, and mobility systems. CW and pulsed approaches achieve depth measurement differently, shaping their performance in controlled or outdoor conditions. CW systems leverage phase shifts for fine mapping and richer scene data, while pulsed systems rely on timing offsets...
