Partnerships Aim to Produce Smartphone 3-D Cameras

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Two business partnerships are setting out on separate missions to develop compact 3-D cameras for mobile devices and, potentially, machine vision applications.

Pelican Imaging of Santa Clara, Calif., and Jabil Circuit Inc. of St. Petersburg, Fla., are collaborating to produce a camera module based on Pelican’s array camera architecture. AAC Technologies of Shenzen, China, will provide the camera lenses, to be produced using advanced wafer-level optics.

Less than 4 mm thick, the device would allow users to perform 3-D scanning and apply image modifications such as refocus, multiple focus, distance measurement and background subtraction or replacement.

OmniVision Technologies Inc. of Santa Clara, Calif., will pair its OV7251 global shutter and quad HD OV4688 image sensors, both of which are built on 2-µm OmniPixel3-GS pixels, with the NU3000 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) from Inuitive Ltd. of Ra’anana, Israel. Functions will include depth sensing, 3-D object reconstruction, gesture detection and head tracking.

OmniVision’s sensors are capable of recording 4-MP images and video at up to 90 fps, and support a high dynamic range of up to 100 dB.

Glossary
machine vision
Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
