VGA indirect time-of-flight - MLX75027
Product description
Request datasheet for MLX75027
The MLX75027 is a true VGA fully integrated optical time-of-flight (ToF) sensor IC. The sensor enables the design of very compact 3D cameras.
The targeted applications include automotive driver monitoring (DMS), in-cabin monitoring (ICM), exterior cocooning as well as robotics, autonomous transport (AGVs), people and 3D object detection in industry, retail, logistics and smart cities.
It is compatible with the MLX75026 QVGA resolution ToF sensor IC.
The EVK75027 evaluation kit is available to evaluate the MLX75027 automotive VGA ToF sensor.
Application examples:
- In-cabin sensing, DMS/OMS (automotive)
- Short-range exterior cocooning (automotive)
- Smart door people detection and identification (smart building)
- 3D Object identification and classification (robotics)
- Perimeter surveillance and mapping, AGV (robotics)

3D ToF Sensor-based Eye-tracking Solutions for Driver Monitoring Systems (Demo)
Eyeware and Melexis have joined forces to create an advanced driver monitoring system (DMS). This collaboration demonstrates the robustness and wider range of head movement that can be achieved using Time-of-Flight technology, compared with current driver monitoring systems.
Interior sensing (driver and in-cabin monitoring) with the latest time-of-flight technology
During his online presentation at Autosens in September 2020, regional marketing manager for time-of-flight solutions at Melexis, Cliff De Locht, tells us more about the newest evolutions in time-of-flight (ToF) technology and the automotive interior sensing use cases this enables: you will learn about driver monitoring system (DMS) performance based on ToF cameras (world’s first ToF based DMS demonstrator) and emerging in-cabin monitoring (ICM) use cases with ToF cameras (world’s first “wide-FOV” ToF based ICM demonstrator).
Webinar - introduction to continuous wave time-of-flight
Time-of-flight is gaining popularity in several domains such as the automotive (both interior and exterior use cases) and the industrial domain, but also in smart applications (e.g. smart vacuum cleaner). This webinar clarifies the concepts you need to know to understand the technology behind continuous-wave time-of-flight (cwToF), and especially the principle of the pixel. We also provide an overview of the cwToF system and recommendations to get started. The webinar is accessible to everyone with an interest in time-of-flight technology and visuals and animations are added to facilitate the explanations.
