Time of Flight Technology is Projected to Witness Brisk Growth Rate in 3D Cameras Market

3D cameras are utilized to capture the three dimensional view of an object. These cameras are being extensively deployed in the consumer electronics, media and entertainment, automotive and industrial applications. The growth of 3D cameras is driven from the rising demand for enhancing the quality of smartphones, tablets and other consumer electronics products and growing drone mapping market especially in North America & European region is projected to set positive impact on the market growth of these systems. Time of Flight technology is widely used technology in the recent years whereas stereo vision systems are projected to dominate the market by the end of 2022. 

The 3D TOF camera operates by illuminating the scene with a controlled and modified light source and examining the light reflected. The phase shift and the illumination and reflected rays is calculated and converted to the distance. Usually, there are two types of ToF which include pulsed modulation and continuous wave modulation. In pulsed modulation, the distance of the object is usually measured by the absolute time of light pulse needs to travel from a source to the 3D object and return after reflection. In continuous wave modulation, continuous wave lights are used instead of light pulses. 

Additionally, rising demand for the machine vision systems for industrial robotics as well as significant propulsion of the professional photography in the APAC and Americas region will positively drive the market over the next five years.  3D cameras Time of Flight (ToF) is continuously evolving in the 3D vision market by delivering 3D imaging utilizing a cost-effective CMOS pixel array along with an active modulated light source. Various benefits including compact structure, ease of usage along with high accuracy rate and frame-rate have been making the ToF cameras as the smart solution for the wide range of applications in industrial, automotive and healthcare sector thereby boosting the market growth of these systems.
