Best ST ToF Sensor for Daylight Performance and Long Detection Range
Hello,
I understand that ToF sensors inherently have limited performance under daylight conditions. However, I would like to know which ST ToF sensor family currently offers the best performance in daylight, regardless of whether it is a single-point or multi-zone sensor.
The VL53L9 series looks very promising for our application, but unfortunately, its cost is above our target budget. Therefore, I am looking for a more cost-effective alternative that still provides good performance under daylight conditions.
A wider FOV would be preferable for our application.
Would it be reasonable to select a sensor based primarily on its maximum specified detection range? If so, the VL53L1 series seems to be a good candidate. However, I am not sure whether the maximum specified range is the best parameter to use when comparing sensors for real-world daylight performance.
I also assume that a wider FOV reduces the number of photons received per unit area, which could potentially reduce the sensor's performance and maximum range. Is this assumption correct?
In short, I would appreciate your recommendation for the best-value ST ToF sensor series for daylight performance, preferably with a wide FOV and the longest reliable detection range possible, while staying below the cost of the VL53L9 series.
Thank you.
