Sony's 3D Environment Sensing - Research and Applications -

Abstract

This presentation will begin with a brief introduction on the history of CMOS image sensor from device-structure perspective and expansion of application fields in the market. The presentation will include issues and imaging technologies associated with accelerated pixel scaling especially in mobile application, as well as global shutter and dynamic range expansion technology required for industry, security, and automotive application. Explanation will also be given for depth sensing, event-based vision sensing, and the concept for intelligent vision sensor as examples for "beyond 2D imaging" technology.
