Toyota ToF Imager at IS 2013
IMV Europe publishes a report from IS 2013 Conference in London, focusing on Toyota ToF imager presentation. Dr Cristiano Niclass of Toyota Central R&D Labs presented lidar ToF system capable to see the depth resolution of 15cm at 100m with laser power of just 21mW. The 10fps imager has a resolution of 202 x 96 pixels and is capable to work under a background illuminance of 70Klux and a sky illuminance of greater than 100Klux.

It seems that they used Si-based SPAD, of which spectral response is limited to about 900nm of Near IR. 900nm IR is much more harmful than longer wavelength, such as 1500nm. Isn't there any issue of eye safety if they illuminate upto 100m away?
