COVER STORY
FRAMOS releases of FSM-IMX570 Devkit with Sony’s IMX570 iToF image sensor for the development of Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras
FRAMOS, a leading global supplier of imaging components, announced the launch of a new development kit for vision system engineers who are working to develop Time-of-Flight devices for industrial and robotics applications
The FSM-IMX570 Devkit iToF camera module assembly T
he FSM-IMX570 Devkit from FRAMOS has just been launched, providing vision system engineers
with a simple, coherent framework to quickly develop a working prototype of an embedded indirect Time- of-Flight (iToF) embedded vision system based on Sony’s leading iToF technology.
The development kit is built around Sony’s IMX570 iToF image sensor, and includes the necessary hardware modules, software drivers and documentation to allow engineers to integrate the system with widely- used platforms like NVIDIA’s Jetson

embedded computers and create a working camera prototype within a few hours.
The next level Time-of-Flight, or ToF, devices use pulses of infrared laser light to illuminate the subject and measure the time it takes for the reflected light to reach the image sensor to determine depth information. Indirect Time-of- Flight, or iToF, cameras are a variation of ToF cameras. While ToF cameras directly measure the time it takes for the emitted light to be reflected back to the camera, indirect ToF cameras send out continuously modulated pulses of light,
and then measure the phase shift of the reflected light to calculate the distance to an object.
Because of their ability to sense depth and distance accurately, ToF cameras are used in a variety of machine vision and embedded systems applications. These include industrial robotics, where ToF cameras can be used instead of LiDAR to help robots navigate autonomously. Other applications of ToF cameras include logistics, where they are used to allow automated forklifts to accurately pick up pallets and package sorting, where ToF cameras can quickly sense and sort package dimensions. ToF cameras are also finding their way
