Samsung earlier announced the launch of two photosensitive elements for computer vision technology applications such as robotics and mixed reality. They are the ISOCELL Vizion 63D that supports ToF ranging function, and the ISOCELL Vizion 931 corresponding to the global shutter function. Samples have been provided to partners for testing.
The ISOCELL Vizion 63D boasts hardware-level ToF ranging functionality integrated into its sensor element, significantly reducing internal footprint and power consumption by up to 40%. It supports image signals with a resolution of 320 x 480 and 60fps, occupies a 1/6.4-inch footprint, and utilizes backscattering technology to enhance the sensor's actual distance measurement. This allows for applications in robotics, computer vision, and other ranging devices.
The ISOCELL Vizion 931, on the other hand, features VGA resolution with a 1:1 display ratio. Its global shutter function primarily addresses the design needs of faster and more complete computer vision applications. These include robotic computer vision applications, facial recognition and gesture recognition in surveillance systems, and even eye tracking in virtual reality headsets. It also supports the simultaneous connection of up to four photosensitive elements, enhancing the effectiveness of computer vision applications.
Samsung expects to continue strengthening its photosensitive element business layout and expand the development of the computer vision application market.
