TFmini-S LiDAR Module 12m Distance Sensor is an upgraded LiDAR device, featuring enhanced performance and accuracy compared to its predecessor, TFmini. With a reduced blind zone of 10cm and improved outdoor capabilities for various reflectivities, it offers stable, precise, and high-frequency range detection. The module is distinguished by its compact size, lightweight design, and energy efficiency. It operates at a high frame rate, reaching up to 1000Hz, ensuring rapid and accurate data collection. Utilizing Time of Flight (ToF) technology, the product emits periodic near-infrared modulation waves that bounce off objects and measure the time taken for the round-trip phase difference, allowing for precise calculation of the distance between the module and the detected object.
