ToF (Time-of-Flight) Sensor

ToF (Time-of-Flight) Sensor (n.) A specialized camera sensor that measures the time it takes for light to bounce off objects in a scene. In mobile photography, ToF sensors are used to create accurate depth maps, enhancing features like portrait mode, augmented reality applications, and low-light focusing. Unlike traditional cameras, ToF sensors don’t capture images but provide crucial 3D information about the scene, allowing for more precise subject separation and focus in challenging conditions.
