VL53L1X ToF and HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Characterization Data

Experimental characterization data for the VL53L1X time-of-flight depth sensor and the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. The dataset includes measurements like optical and ultrasonic range, signal rate, ambient rate, and sensor noise, with descriptive headers explaining the experimental setup. Author Lucas J. Koerner contributed this data, which is available via paperswithcode under an Open Access license.

Use Cases

• Calibrating VL53L1X sensor readings based on the provided optical and ultrasonic range measurements.
• Analyzing sensor noise and signal quality using the Sigma mm and Signal Rate Return Mega cps fields.
• Comparing time-of-flight and ultrasonic sensor performance across different distances and environmental conditions.
• Evaluating the impact of sensor settings on measurement time and accuracy using the Setting Number and Time for Iteration fields.

Strengths

• Includes data from two distinct sensor types (VL53L1X ToF and HC-SR04 ultrasonic) for comparative analysis.
• Data files contain descriptive headers that explain the experimental setup, aiding reproducibility.
• Provides specific sensor output metrics like Signal Rate Return Mega cps and Effective SPAD Return Count for detailed analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
