LiDAR and Time of Flight, Part 1: Introduction

December 12, 2019 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

LIDAR and Time of Flight

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

October 29, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

TCS3408 optical color sensor

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 […]
