While at VISION 2024, we spent plenty of time at Teledyne’s booth. There, we were treated to several demonstrations from Teledyne representatives. Following our interview with Sadiq Panjwani, we spoke to Laurent Appercel, Senior Marketing Manager of Teledyne e2v. He guided us through what Teledyne e2v had on show at the event.
Teledyne e2v presented their CMOS sensor, which they have developed by themselves. We saw their first-of-its-kind implementation of Teledyne e2v’s Optimum 5D technology, which processes a 3D depth map in real time, using dedicated Software Development Kits on a host processor. These detailed 3D depth maps offer visualisation in a range of scenarios.
It excels in short distance situations, and can process 3D depth maps even through sheets of glass or transparent materials, which Laurent demonstrated by using a transparent plastic pot containing walnuts.
This technology is unique to Teledyne e2v and is available at the sensor level for high-volume production, or available at the module level for moderate quantities.
