New ams Active Stereo Vision System Boosts 3D Adoption in Smart Phones, HABA and IoT
Summary
PREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions and a leader in all three forms of 3D sensing including Structured Light, Time of Flight and Active Stereo Vision (ASV) today introduces a new ASV technology product portfolio which enables manufacturers of consumer, computing and industrial products to implement face recognition and other 3D sensing applications more easily and at lower cost. Based on extensive 3D experience, ams has added Active Stereo Vision technology products to the portfolio to address additional and different 3D sensing applications as well as reach lower price points in the mobile segment. Compared to structured light solutions, it is more cost effective without compromising on depth map quality and resolution and supports easier assembly processes. The depth maps generated by the ams ASV technology is highly accurate enabling face recognition to meet payment-grade quality standards, an industry first. Improvements to the Belago illumination module enable it to produce a randomized high-contrast dot pattern with full focus over the entire range that can be reliably captured by the IR cameras.
