Photonics WorldAmbarella, Lumentum, ON Semiconductor partner on AI-based 3D sensing28 May 2021For new approaches to biometric access control, 3D locks, and intelligent sensing. Ambarella , an AI vision silicon company, Lumentum , a developer of photonic products, and ON Semiconductor , a provider of CMOS image sensor solutions, have announced two new “joint reference designs” that accelerate AIoT device deployment across verticals, building on the companies’ collaborations. “Ambarella’s vision is to combine AI processing with 3D and vision sensing to create an ambient intelligent future,” commented Fermi Wang, President and CEO of Ambarella. “Our industry leading RGB-IR sensor technology, combined with the advanced ISP capabilities of Ambarella’s AI vision SoCs, can bring both visible and IR images into devices simultaneously. For this second generation of our joint solutions, we leveraged customer feedback to quadruple the resolution of our RGB-IR image sensors to 4K (8MP).”The three companies’ new joint AIoT solutions consist of two reference designs and additional 3D sensing development kits, each configured to address application-specific demands for the combination of AI processing, 3D depth sensing and vision sensing.
