Sony Unveils the Smallest and Lightest Lidar Depth Sensor
An impressive achievement in image sensor technology.
The device utilizes “Direct Time of Flight” (dToF) LiDAR technology and features a Sony Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) image sensor. Due to its small size and impressive SPAD sensor, the company says it is “ideal for applications where space and weight constraints are paramount, including drones, robotics, and more.” It is reasonable to suspect the device could also be helpful in self-driving cars.
