Time-of-flight Camera Market Scope
A time-of-flight camera is also called as TOF. It is ranging imaging camera systems which is used to resolves distance based on the recognized speed of light, calculating the time-of-flight of a light signal among the camera and the subject for each point of the image. There are three types of time-of-flight camera such as RF-modulated light sources with phase detectors, range gated imagers and direct Time-of-Flight imagers. The application of Time-of-Flight camera includes medical, industrial, automotive and consumer electronics.
According to AMA, the Global Time-of-flight Camera market is expected to see growth rate of 2.81%
