3D sensing augments a camera’s object & facial recognition.
3D sensing is a depth sensing technology that augments camera capabilities for facial and object recognition in augmented reality, gaming, autonomous driving and a wide range of applications.
One way to sense 3D is using structured light. Coherent infrared light is transmitted onto an object with a structured pattern. The reflected light can be decoded to construct a 3D image.
Another way to sense 3D is to use Time of Flight (ToF). A light source transmits a series of infrared light and the photon phase difference to the light bounced off an object is used to sense the proximity of an object
