However, they serve very different purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A ToF distance sensor is typically a compact, single-point or small-array module designed for short to medium range (from centimeters to several meters).<br>LiDAR, on the other hand, is usually a scanning laser system that creates 2D\/3D maps for robotics, <a href=\"https:\/\/meskernel.net\/tr\/distance-measurement-surveying\/\">\u00f6l\u00e7me<\/a>, and autonomous <a href=\"https:\/\/meskernel.net\/tr\/navigation-distance-sensor\/\">navigasyon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing between them depends on your required range, precision, scanning coverage, speed, and environmental conditions\u2014especially outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide provides a deep, technical, side-by-side comparison to help engineers, integrators, and OEM manufacturers choose the right

pulsed ToF for maximum accuracy and outdoor performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LiDAR systems also use time-of-flight, but they employ more complex scanning optics, rotating mirrors, or solid-state VCSEL arrays to generate a multi-point or full-area point cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>K\u0131sacas\u0131:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ToF sens\u00f6r\u00fc<\/strong> =
