Hi,
We are trying to mount the VL537CX ToF(Pololu) sensor on roof of a car and map a certain area of the cabin. The sensor is pointed downwards.
But we are observing the a pattern flashing (appearing for a single frame of ToF data) at an interval varying from 0.2 to 5 seconds. The pattern is not constant, there will be slight changes each time.
There are textured hard plastic surfaces (black color & white color) in the locations corresponding to the zones where flashing occurs. The windshield is close to the sensor, but is out of its FoV.
What could be the reason for this behavior? What can be done to avoid this flashing behavior?
Attached the images of normal zone values and zone values during flashing for reference.
