ams released the NanoVision and NanoBerry evaluation kits, which provide a ready-made platform for the development of innovative solutions based on the ams NanEyeC miniature image sensor. The NanEyeC camera is a full-featured image sensor supplied as a tiny 1mm x 1mm surface-mount module. This small form factor can produce an amazing 100kpixel resolution up to […]
LIDAR and Time of Flight, Part 1: Introduction
LIDAR systems and ToF techniques are critical to providing self-driving cars with a detailed picture of the surrounding and is used in many research applications as well. Many of the major automobile vendors, along with well-known non-auto companies such as Google, are devoting major resources to developing autonomous vehicles (often called “self-driving cars”). These vehicles […]
Optical color sensor eliminates unwanted image artifacts in smartphone cameras
ams introduced the TCS3408 optical color sensor that enables smartphone world-facing cameras with rolling shutter image sensors to eliminate unwanted image artifacts – such as banding – that are caused by the flickering of artificial light sources. With the wide-spread usage of LED lighting, photography increasingly suffers from what is known as flicker from the […]
Integrated ToF sensor module measures just 2.2mm x 3.6mm x 1.0mm
ams announces the release of the world’s smallest integrated module for direct time-of-flight (ToF) distance measurement providing accurate measurements from 2cm up to 2.5m. The TMF8801 is more than 30 percent smaller than competing ToF sensors – making it perfect for compact space-constrained designs – yet offers superior performance in important parameters including accuracy and […]
Digital proximity sensor module occupies just 1mm3 of volume
ams has announced the world’s smallest digital proximity sensor module. The ultra-small package of the TMD2635 occupies just 1mm3 of volume and enables audio manufacturers of True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbud products to develop smaller, lighter industrial design earbuds. The IR proximity sensor enables wireless earbud in-and-out of ear detection to help extend battery life between […]
