    Abstract: Provided are a control system and a method for sensing collaboration. In the method, a target region is detected from a first image through a processor. The first image is obtained by a color camera. The target region corresponds to a first coordinate information. Next, the first coordinate information is converted to a second coordinate information through the processor. The second coordinate information corresponds to an imaging plane of a time of flight camera. A depth value corresponding to the second coordinate information is obtained from a depth information through the processor. The time of flight camera obtains the depth information. A sensing data of the target region is determined according to the depth value through the processor.
