On Semiconducter integrates image capture and depth mapping

On Semiconductor has released a new 1/3.2-inch backside illuminated (BSI) 4 megapixel (MP) CMOS digital image sensor which integrates delivery of image capture and depth mapping from a single sensor solution. Called AR0430, it is said to deliver 120 frames per second (fps) performance supporting slow-motion video in 4 MP mode. The sensor can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications including wearable devices, AR/VR products and security cameras. The sensor’s techniques, Colour Filter Array (CFA) an

7914 On Semiconductor has released a new 1/3.2-inch backside illuminated (BSI) 4 megapixel (MP) CMOS digital image sensor which integrates delivery of image capture and depth mapping from a single sensor solution. Called AR0430, it is said to deliver 120 frames per second (fps) performance supporting slow-motion video in 4 MP mode. The sensor can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications including wearable devices, AR/VR products and security cameras.

The sensor’s techniques, Colour Filter Array (CFA) and the micro-lens, create a data stream containing both image and depth data. It is then combined via an algorithm to deliver a 30fps video stream and depth map of anything within one metre, enabling capabilities such as interpretation of hand gestures to control smart IoT devices plus the creation of 3D models for AR/VR use.

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi
