A single Topaz5D sensor utilized in difficult lighting situations delivers 3D object visualisation primarily based on the distinction detected, ultimate for varied logistics functions, AR/VR headsets, entry management gadgets, family vacuum robots, and Autonomous Cellular Robots (AMR).
Grenoble, FRANCE, March twenty sixth, 2024 — Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Applied sciences [NYSE: TDY] firm and international innovator of imaging options, declares Topaz5D™, a full-HD CMOS picture sensor designed to mix 2D imaginative and prescient with the technology of 3D depth maps. A single Topaz5D sensor utilized in difficult lighting situations delivers 3D object visualisation primarily based on the distinction detected, ultimate for varied logistics functions, AR/VR headsets, entry management gadgets, family vacuum robots, and Autonomous Cellular Robots (AMR).
Topaz5D combines a small 2.5 µm international shutter pixel with a post-processing diffraction layer to create angular delicate pixels. This permits 3D angular sign uncooked knowledge to be generated after which processed by a 5D appropriate SDK. Topaz5D is a 3D-enabled variant of Teledyne e2v’s in style Topaz 2M, which is extensively utilized in logistics/retail markets and sensible factories.
Topaz5D has a 2 megapixel (1,920 x 1,080) decision and is at present obtainable in each monochrome and shade. Its tiny kind issue (7.65 mm x 4.45 mm) makes it straightforward to combine into space-constrained optical engines or modules and it consumes solely 200 mW of energy to run at full body price. It generates 3D depth maps and shows the distinction particulars of any type of object, even black or very shiny ones, or these seen by sheets of glass or clear natural materials (e.g., plexiglass or plastic bottles).
In contrast to different 3D applied sciences, which depend on illumination of the scene, Topaz5D can be utilized in very various working situations, together with indoor lighting or direct daylight. In comparison with a stereoscopy answer, solely a single sensor plus a lens is required, with out the necessity for advanced dual-lens system alignment and there’s no danger of optical occlusion. As well as, Topaz5D delivers an unmatched price of possession in comparison with different aggressive 3D imaginative and prescient applied sciences. Laurent Appercel, Senior Advertising Supervisor at Teledyne e2v, stated, “Topaz5D has the distinctive means to ship crisp 2D pictures in full-HD, together with detailed contrast-based 3D depth maps in actual time, at excessive body charges, and with out latency. 5D processing SDK integration on a number of SoC vendor platforms can also be available. All these unmatched advantages come from a single sensor which could be deployed with decrease prices, minimal energy consumption, no illumination and with simplified {hardware} and software program.”
