    It appears that the VOXL Time of Flight Sensor has different Field of View specs based on distance according to this datasheet:
    https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-tof-sensor-datasheet/

    Specifically, it appears that the FOV changes once the TOF sensor is "near field":

    FOV (H x V)	117° x 117° (near field 100° x 80°)
    

    I'm curious what defines near field and if this switch to 100x80 is instant or transforming from 117x117 with time and/or distance?

      Those are the specs from the vendor, we don't have any more information, sorry. The intensity image is published in MPA so you could perform a calibration on it to find out more details.
