Stereoscopic Imaging
Most stereoscopic imaging platforms use two cameras at different angles to capture images. Image-processing software identifies common features in both images and extract distance information following a triangulation method. A common issue in stereoscopic imaging is encountered when the scene lacks features (non-textured surfaces such as walls) which causes the 3D information to become incomplete or inaccurate. Furthermore, the search for features in the images often results in high computational load. ams AG has developed a unique, proprietary solution to effectively address these issues: the BELICE infrared illuminator is the most compact dot-projector for stereoscopic imaging available on the market today. It produces a very high-contrast dot pattern that stereo-matching algorithms can use to solve low-texture issues and achieve high-accuracy depth maps. The presence of the infrared pattern also reduces considerably the computational load required by the software, as it offers many features for matching the left and right images. BELICE enables stereoscopic imaging to be implemented on a variety of platforms, from robotics to mobile devices.

Flood Illumination
A time-of-flight camera requires a uniform, high-frequency modulated infrared light to be projected onto the scene. The time-of-flight sensor is carefully synchronized with the illuminator and utilizes the light that is reflected by objects in the scene to determine the distance to these objects.
