TELEDYNE E2V RELEASES FIRST HIGH RESOLUTION TIME-OF-FLIGHT SENSOR, HYDRA3D+

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 10 (Bernama) -- Teledyne e2v, a part of Teledyne Technologies has released its Hydra3D+, a new Time-of-Flight (ToF) CMOS image sensor which incorporates 832 x 600 pixel resolution and is tailored for versatile 3D detection and measurement.

Teledyne e2v marketing manager for 3D imaging, Ha Lan Do Thu said with Hydra3D+, customers can easily achieve reliable 3D measurement with the highest levels of 3D performance, uncompromised image quality in both 2D and 3D modes, and in all distance ranges and conditions even where multiple systems operate or in outdoor environments.

“Designed with Teledyne e2v’s proprietary CMOS technology, Hydra3D+ features a brand-new 10 µm (micrometre) three-tap pixel which provides very fast transfer times (starting from 10ns), and displays high sensitivity in the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, alongside excellent demodulation contrast.

“An innovative on-chip multi-system management feature enables the sensor to work alongside multiple active systems without interference which can lead to false measurements,” said Teledyne e2v in a statement.

The excellent sensitivity of Hydra3D+ enables it to effectively manage lighting power and handle a wide range of reflectivity.

Its high resolution, with powerful on-chip HDR, featuring an on-the-fly flexible configuration, enables the best trade-off between application-level parameters, such as distance range, object reflectivity, and frame rate.

The sensor has been thoughtfully designed for customers seeking real-time and flexible 3D detection with uncompromised 3D performance, offering large field-of-view scenes captured in both 2D and 3D by a compact sensor which makes the system very cost effective.

“Documentation, samples, and development tools are now available upon request,” it said.
