General description
The Belago1.2 infrared illuminator is the most compact dot-projector for stereoscopic imaging available today. It produces a high-contrast, high dot density pattern that stereo-matching algorithms can use to mitigate the problem of lack of texture, and to produce high-accuracy depth maps.
Belago1.2 enables active stereoscopic imaging to be implemented on a variety of platforms, from robotics to mobile devices.
Key benefits & features
Stereoscopic imaging systems often suffer from impaired performance when the scene lacks features: An example is a flat, smooth surface such as a wall. In such cases, the 3D information captured by stereoscopic imaging systems is typically incomplete or inaccurate. Furthermore, the search for features in the images often results in high computational loading.
ams OSRAM has developed a unique, proprietary solution to this problem. The Belago1.2 infrared illuminator, the most compact dot-projector for stereoscopic imaging available today, produces a high-contrast, high density dot pattern that stereo-matching algorithms can use to mitigate the problem of lack of texture, and to produce high-accuracy depth maps. The presence of the infrared pattern also reduces considerably the computational load imposed by the software, as it offers many features to facilitate matching of the left and right images.
Belago1.2 enables active stereoscopic imaging to be implemented on a variety of platforms, from robotics to mobile devices.
Belago1.2 provides a feedback loop, integrated on the lens, that allows monitoring of a lens or package damage by the operating platform.
