3D machine vision in IoT for factory and building automation (Invited)

“Internet of Things” (IoT) is rapidly reshaping our ways of life. This talk will focus on how a new class of 3D ToF (Time-of-Flight) image sensors will improve the vision of the “things” of IoT by giving it a sense of depth. This improvement in machine vision is bringing significant advances in factory and building automation. Application examples using the 3D ToF technology in these two areas will be given. The current state of the art will be presented and future directions will be discussed.
