November 2023 Electronics Spotlight

Welcome to our November 2023 Electronics
Spotlight. In this month's issue we focus on the HLS-LFOM Series ToF
(time-of-flight) 3D LiDAR Motion Sensors from Hitachi-LG. 

These sensors calculate distance by measuring
the time it takes for an infrared laser to emit light and receive the
reflection from the object.

Because the sensor measures distance by
individual pixel of the image sensor, it shows shape, size and position of
the person or object in view in 3 dimensions.  Operating at 10 to 30
fps(frames per second) it is possible to detect and track the motion of the
person or object in view.
