VL53L5CX is an advanced time of flight (ToF) multi area ranging sensor
the VL53L5 has achieved several breakthroughs: first, it has a large angle, extending to 61 degrees; Second, it can be cut to 16 areas. The details are as follows:
First, the angle is large: the field of view angle of ToF products is generally controlled at about 25-27 degrees, and the effective distance of FOV (field of view angle) is about 25-27 degrees according to the effective range of transmission power, reception capacity and algorithm. Through the improvement of software and hardware, the current angle can reach 60 degrees. 60 degrees has two advantages: on the one hand, it covers a wider range and is especially suitable for larger products, such as large household appliances and large screens; On the other hand, this big angle can also be programmed. If this big angle is not used, the customer can program to the desired angle. At present, the maximum is 60 degrees. There are many programming methods that can be used for customer applications.
The second is to achieve multiple regions: 16 regions or more can be cut. After cutting, VL53L5 is divided into four blocks, namely four quadrants. Each quadrant can be cut again, reaching 16 areas or more. Taking 16 effective regions as an example, each region can output its ranging independently, which represents the initial depth change. The key to multiple depths must be to give numbers at the same time, and all the numbers at the same time can reach multiple zones. "The 16 numbers are different, and the movement of gestures can be achieved through the change of these 16 numbers. Stable gesture recognition has puzzled people in the past. In fact, how to recognize gestures will come true naturally on the way to 3D.
