5 VL53L1X sensor and algorithm configuration
It is sufficient to set the two FoVs by dividing the 16*16 SPAD array of the VL53L1X sensor into two sub N*16
arrays. For example, N can be chosen within the interval [4, 8]. This means that it is not necessary to use the
same SPADs for front and back ranging. Alternatively, enabling 7*16 SPADs is sufficient to see a person in the
two zones at the same time when this person stands directly under the sensor, in the middle of the two FoVs.
