ジェスチャー & ジェスチャー以外の ToF アプリケーション

一般的に言えば, 3D Time of Flight の使用は、ジェスチャーと非ジェスチャーに分類できます。. ジェスチャー アプリケーションは、人間の相互作用と速度を重視します。; 一方、ジェスチャー以外のアプリケーションでは測定精度が重視されます.

ジェスチャー アプリケーションは人間の動きを変換します (顔, 手, 指または全身) ゲームコンソールをコマンドするためのシンボリックディレクティブに, スマートテレビ, or portable computing devices.

例えば, channel surfing can be accomplished by waving of hands and presentations can be scrolled by using finger flickering. These applications usually require fast response time, low- to medium-range, centimeter-level accuracy and power consumption. The Microsoft Kinect 2 uses Time-of-Flight sensors for gesture interactions.

ToF 3D depth sensors have so many uses in non-gesture applications as well as highlight further on. The automotive industry is further ahead of the drone industry in using ToF depth ranging cameras.

For instance, in automotive, a ToF camera can increase safety by alerting the driver when it detects people and objects in the vicinity of the car and in computer-assisted driving. In robotics and automation, ToF sensors can help detect product defects and enforce safety envelopes required for humans and robots to work in close proximity.

Some of the non-gesture ToF applications are scanning for objects, インドアナビゲーション, outdoor navigation, 障害物検知, 衝突回避, オブジェクトの追跡, 体積測定, リアクティブ高度計, 3D画像撮影, augmented reality games and much more.
