VL53L0X Laser Ranging Sensor
The VL53L0X laser ranging from ST Microelectronics is a time-of-flight ranging system integrated into a compact module. This time-of-flight (TOF) measurement enables it to accurately determine the absolute distance to a target without the object's reflectance greatly influencing the measurement.
Applications:
- Obstacle detection in robotics.
- Hand detection in hand driers, soap dispensers, faucets, etc.
- Gesture recognition in one dimension.
- Widely used in-camera autofocus to enhance the camera performance in low light or fast-moving objects conditions.
- Used as a proximity sensor in many phones.
