Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies company, introduced the Optimom 5D turnkey imaging module. The new imaging module features the recently announced Topaz5D image sensor, a compact board, standard connector, and a pre-assembled lens. This board-level vision extension integrates full-HD 2D vision with the generation of 3D depth data.
Teledyne e2v said the Optimom 5D is designed for a variety of applications, including industrial robotics, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), logistics and warehouse automation and more.
The Optimom 5D imaging module features a 2 megapixel resolution, 2.5 µm global shutter pixel image sensor with angular sensitive pixels. With a compact 25 x 25 mm footprint and low power consumption, it includes a fast lens (45° horizontal field of view) and operates from 40 cm to 140 cm. Teledyne e2v said depth data processing generates detailed 3D depth maps and can see through sheets of glass or transparent organic material. Real-time 3D depth map processing can be performed using dedicated Software Development Kits run on a host processor.

“As a turnkey 3D vision solution, it features a standard MIPI-CSI2 interface and requires no additional calibration,” Laurent Appercel, senior marketing manager at Teledyne e2v said. “In real-time, this module provides sharp 2D full-HD images (in mono or color) alongside contrast-based 3D depth maps, all at 30 frames per second with minimal latency.”
In other sensing news, Naviq recently unveiled a magnetic guide sensor for mobile robots. Magnetic guidance involves placing adhesive magnetic tape on the floor, which the robot senses and follows throughout the facility. The patented sensor delivers angle measurement with 1-degree precision and position accuracy within 1 mm (0.039 in.).
Intel this week introduced its entry-level Intel RealSense Depth Module D421. The all-in-one stereo depth module integrates Intel’s D4 vision processor with the optical module on the same board. The D421 depth module offers a 75° × 50° field of view, a recommended range of 0.2 to 3 m (0.6 to 9.8 ft.), and 1 megapixel global shutter depth sensors.
