New Mira220 image sensor’s high quantum efficiency enables operation with low-power emitter and in dim lighting conditions Stacked chip design uses ams OSRAM back side illumination technology to shrink package footprint to just 5.3mm x 5.3mm, giving greater design flexibility to manufacturers of smart glasses and other space-constrained products Low-power operation and ultra-small size make the Mira220 ideal for active stereo vision or structured lighting 3D systems in drones, robots and smart door locks, as well as mobile and wearable devices Press Release:  https://ams-osram.com/news/press-releases/mira220 Premstaetten, Austria (14th July 2022) -- ams OSRAM (SIX: AMS), a global leader in optical solutions, has launched a 2.2Mpixel global shutter visible and near infrared (NIR) image sensor which offers the low-power characteristics and small size required in the latest 2D and 3D sensing systems for virtual reality (VR) headsets, smart glasses, drones and other consumer and industrial

From arXiv.org --- You Li et al. write: Autonomous vehicles rely on perception systems to understand their surroundings for further navigation missions. Cameras are essential for perception systems due to the advantages of object detection and recognition provided by modern computer vision algorithms, comparing to other sensors, such as LiDARs and radars. However, limited by its inherent imaging principle, a standard RGB camera may perform poorly in a variety of adverse scenarios, including but not limited to: low illumination, high contrast, bad weather such as fog/rain/snow, etc. Meanwhile, estimating the 3D information from the 2D image detection is generally more difficult when compared to LiDARs or radars. Several new sensing technologies have emerged in recent years to address the limitations of conventional RGB cameras. In this paper, we review the principles of four novel image sensors: infrared cameras, range-gated cameras, polarization cameras, and event cameras . Their compa
