Glare & Shade Patterns Resilient
Superior vision that sees through glare and shade, enhancing the reliability of face detection and recognition algorithms
We’re talking about Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), Extended Reality (XR) – and everything in between. It all starts with creating the environment. Mapping it bit by bit – one room, one building at a time.
It’s already happening today. Many mobile devices and head mounted systems are creating a virtual environment using existing 3D sensing technologies, including visible and NIR cameras. These existing 3D sensing solutions in consumer products are allowing us to interact with our environment in ways that we have only imagined until recently. But these systems are limited in their use – mainly to indoor scenes and always short distances. Why? Visible cameras require photons to capture a clear and bright image. In areas with limited lighting, dark rooms, the picture becomes pixelated and blurry. However, at night, when it is pitch black and light is minimal, no picture can be captured. NIR cameras are used to help mitigate these issues, but are limited to less than 5 meters due to dangerous power levels at those wavelengths and suffer from significant atmospheric effects outdoors.
SWIR solves these problems and allows eye-safe operation, indoor and outdoor, to over 10 meters. The innovative, new technology in the SEDAR XR series makes this possible with the optimal combination of sensor, laser, and software. The CMOS-based Raven sensor is the only way to get the performance, cost, and manufacturing scale needed to make the new real.
