Industrial camera manufacturer Basler is bringing its first 3D camera onto the market. The Basler ToF camera operates on the pulsed time-of-flight principle. It is equipped with eight high-power LEDs in the NIR range and generates 2D and 3D data in one shot with a multipart image, comprised of a range, intensity and confidence map. The new ToF camera is the first industrial time-of-flight camera with VGA resolution in the mid-range price segment. It delivers distance values in a working range of 0 to 13.3 meters, 20 frames per second and connects via a standard GigE interface. The measurement accuracy of the camera is +/-1 cm at a range of 0.5 to 5.8 meters. It offers powerful features such as HDR, multichannel, trigger or PTP. These features make it simple and easy to implement
The new ToF camera is used in a variety of applications, including robotics, industrial automation, logistics and medical & life sciences, as well as many tasks related to augmented reality.
