How does fusion timing impact sensors?
Today with LiDAR included as one of the potential sensing technologies, low-level fusion still seems to be a popular design approach.
What role does sensing play in detecting and analyzing garbage in the world’s oceans?
If you were not previously aware of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), viewing “Under Paris,” when it streamed on Netflix in the summer of 2024, provided painful awareness of a serious and growing problem — even though the movie was fantasy. “Under Paris” garnered over 69.6 million views in its premiere in June, making […]
1/15.8-inch CMOS sensor operates at 2.58 mW for always-on applications
OMNIVISION announced the new OV0TA1B monochrome (mono)/infrared (IR) CMOS image sensor, the first and only solution that fits 3mm module Y dimension and smaller notebook computers, webcams and IoT devices. The OV0TA1B is a low-power device that is ideal for artificial intelligence (AI)-based human presence detection (HPD), facial authentication and always-on (AON) technology. The OV0TA1B […]
Next-gen sensor boosts low-light visibility for vehicles
OMNIVISION unveiled the new 3-megapixel (MP)-resolution OX03H10 CMOS image sensor – the first and only 3.0-micron (µm) pixel automotive viewing sensor with TheiaCel technology. Announced at AutoSens Europe 2024, the new solution significantly enhances driving safety by enabling unprecedented imaging clarity in all lighting conditions for surround-view and rear-view cameras. At 1920 x 1536 resolution, the OX03H10 features […]
Image sensors offer 106dB shutter efficiency for industrial applications
OMNIVISION has introduced three new back-side illuminated (BSI) global shutter (GS) image sensors. These sensors are designed for machine vision applications such as industrial automation, robotics, logistics barcode scanners, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The new GS image sensors feature a 3.45-micron (µm) BSI pixel, which offers high sensitivity, efficient shutter performance, and strong low-light capabilities. This […]
Stereo vision camera provides 3D information from 20 centimeters away
IDS Imaging Development Systems introduces a new 3D camera in the Ensenso product line. With its compact, industrial-grade design and the combination of a very short working distance and a large field of view, the Ensenso B is particularly suitable for bin-picking applications. Thanks to its high depth of field, it is able to capture […]
Compact image sensor for eye and face tracing in AR/VR applications
OMNIVISION has announced the new OG0TC BSI global shutter (GS) image sensor for eye and face tracking in AR/VR/MR consumer headsets and glasses. This release marks the introduction of OMNIVISION’s patented DCG high dynamic range (HDR) technology to the AR/VR/MR market in the 2.2-micron (µm) pixel OG0TC GS image sensor. The OG0TC has a package […]
What increases a robot’s security capabilities?
The thalamus provides a relay station for the body’s motor functions and sensory inputs. It enables the control of the flow of sensory-motor information to the cerebral cortex. This control occurs during sleep, wakefulness, consciousness, learning, and memory. The sensory information processed includes hearing, taste, sight, and touch—but not smell. Recognizing this essential control over […]
How do sensing, drones, and AI improve crop growth?
Successfully growing high-value crops such as fruit (citrus, apples, grapes, cherries, kiwis, table grapes, pomegranates, and more) and nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios, and more) requires farmers’ continuous attention. If a problem is not detected, the crop yield could be significantly reduced. Sensors provide the foundation and play an essential role in the evolving detection processes. […]
