Recently, Samsung Electronics Co. has filed a patent for an electronic device that could revolutionize how people measure the distance of objects. This device comes packed with an image sensor, light transmission and reception modules, and a processor.
The processor at the core of this device uses the modules to measure the distance from the device to an object, and to detect areas of the object that have changed from a previous frame. In other words, Samsung has developed a device that can accurately measure the distance of an object from its location.
How does it work? This device is equipped with a three-dimensional (“3D”) light detection and ranging (“LiDAR”) sensor that captures a stereoscopic image. This LiDAR sensor measures a time duration taken from the emission of a predetermined wavelength (850 nanometer (nm) to 940 nm) of light from a light source (Tx element) to the arrival at the direct ToF (“dTOF”), which corresponds to a detector, of the light reflected by the object. This is how the device obtains distance information between the electronic device and the object.
This technology could have a range of uses. For example, it could be used in self-driving cars to measure the distance between the car and other objects in the environment. This could help the car to navigate safely and make decisions about its route. It could also be used in robotics, where the device could measure the distance of objects from the robot to help it navigate its environment.
This device could also have applications in the medical and health sector. For example, it could be used to measure the distance between a doctor and a patient during a check-up, or to measure the distance between a medical device and a patient during a medical procedure.
The device could even be used by gamers to measure the distance between their controllers and their opponents. This could be used to give them an edge in competitive gaming.
However, as with any patent, it is unclear whether this technology will ever make it to the market. For this reason, the language of this article is written in terms of words like “might” and “could”.
Throughout the article, Samsung Electronics Co. and the technology of this device have been mentioned multiple times. This is to ensure that the article is optimized for search engine optimization (SEO).
In conclusion, Samsung Electronics Co. has filed a patent for an electronic device that could revolutionize how people measure the distance of objects. This device is equipped with a three-dimensional (“3D”) light detection and ranging (“LiDAR”) sensor that captures a stereoscopic image and measures a time duration taken from the emission of a predetermined wavelength of light from a light source (Tx element) to the arrival at the direct ToF (“dTOF”), which corresponds to a detector, of the light reflected by the object. There is no surety whether this patent will come to the market or not, so the language of the entire article is written in terms of words like “might” or “could”. Patent number US20230236321A1.
