M0040 ToF sensor FOV
-
Dear ModalAI,
At https://docs.modalai.com/M0040/ you have:
FOV (H x W) 85.1° 106.5° (measured by experiemnt)At https://www.modalai.com/products/voxl-dk-tof you have:
FOV (H x V) 117° x 117° (near field 100° x 80°)Which is the correct FOV?
Also, which is the correct position of the sensor (as vertical and horizontal plane)?
from this link https://docs.modalai.com/M0040/ or
from this link? https://www.modalai.com/products/voxl-dk-tofI want to create a 3D cone covering the "view" to be sure that it doesn't see anything else, but cannot due to different FOVs and that i don't know what is the horizontal plane of the sensor.
By now I'll use the more restrictive FOV 117ºX117º...Thanks for your work!

The statement: "FOV (H x V) 117° x 117° (near field 100° x 80°)" was provided by PMD, the technology company behind the sensor. Since the "near field" spec lines up with our measured spec, I think that is a good place to start

Thanks,
BTW, i've checked it with the help of a team mate and this is the correct FOV orientation for the sensor (not the measurements):
Keep in mind that the Graphics Industry Standard is W x H and you have H x W = 85ºX106º and should be W x H = 85ºx106º (for this position in the picture)
Also, W x H = 85ºx106º vs Horizontal x Vertical = 100ºX80º on the different images can cause confusion with the different orientations and values.I would suggest to use the same ratings on both pictures.
This is the correct HxV position of the sensor:
