In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, sensors are the backbone of many cutting-edge applications. Among these, the Sony IMX570 stands out as an exceptional indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) sensor, leading the way in embedded vision solutions with its remarkable performance and innovative design. From mobile robots to smart devices, the IMX570 sensor brings precision, speed, and reliability to a wide range of industries.
The M4 Mega, a Time-of-Flight camera developed by MRDVS, fully shows the capabilities of the Sony IMX570. Known for its superior performance in capturing high-quality depth information and images, this sensor has become a benchmark for embedded vision applications. It is ideal for autonomous robotics, smart warehouses, and consumer electronics sectors.
The IMX570 sensor incorporates Sony’s state-of-the-art back-side illuminated (BSI) architecture. Traditional CMOS sensors have their wiring on the front, which limits the miniaturization of pixels and reduces light sensitivity. In contrast, BSI technology relocates this wiring to the back, enabling light to reach the sensor’s active layer without obstruction directly.
This design dramatically improves low-light performance, reduces noise, and allows for smaller, more compact sensors with higher resolutions—key for embedded systems requiring miniaturized camera modules.

The IMX570 adopts a 5-micrometer pixel structure, making it one of the most compact sensors on the market, with a size of only 1/4.5 inches. This miniaturization enables the construction of smaller cameras using reduced optical elements, which is perfect for applications in devices where space is at a premium, such as drones, smartphones, and wearable technology.
With a resolution of 640×480 pixels (VGA), the IMX570 sensor offers high-fidelity depth information, outperforming many other ToF sensors in its class. This higher resolution enhances object detection and recognition, making it ideal for robotic navigation, obstacle avoidance, and industrial automation, where precision is critical.
Operating at a speed of up to 56 frames per second, the IMX570 excels in real-time applications that demand quick, accurate data processing. This fast operating speed is essential for industries like autonomous driving, drone navigation, and security surveillance, where the ability to quickly respond to changing environments can mean the difference between success and failure.
One of the challenges with ToF technology is performance in outdoor or brightly lit environments, where sunlight can interfere with laser illumination. The Sony IMX570 solves this problem through pixel-level processing circuitry that reduces the influence of ambient light. Whether in bright outdoor settings or dark warehouses, the IMX570 maintains consistent and reliable performance, ensuring accurate depth measurements in all lighting conditions.
The IMX570 comes equipped with a powerful feature set designed to make integration and development easier. Key functions like automatic exposure, auto-focus, and digital gain adjustment enhance the camera’s usability, while multiple data output formats allow seamless integration with various processors and systems. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for developers building advanced ToF applications.
With its cutting-edge BSI technology, compact 5-micrometer pixel design, high-resolution depth sensing, fast frame rates, robust performance under diverse lighting conditions, and extensive feature set, the Sony IMX570 has cemented its position as a leading iToF sensor. Whether used in robotics, smart devices, or industrial automation, it delivers unparalleled image quality and depth information, helping push the boundaries of embedded vision applications.
