Technology:
Panasonic developed
a 3D sensor that films clear stereoscopic vision with one lens, transcending
the traditional design limitation that requires two lenses to film stereoscopic
vision. Using two lenses doubles the number of electronic parts necessary for
image processing and complicates the structure of equipment, making it rather
hard to miniaturize the structure. The existing one-lens model cannot produce
clear stereoscopic vision because of the difficulty to divide vision into two
eyes.
Panasonic loaded its
self-developed lens on the surface of an image processing sensor. The Panasonic’s
self-developed lens can divide the light coming into the lens by angle. The new
3D sensor figures out light suitable to the angle of the viewer to collect light
and organizes stereoinformation without decreasing the image quality. It can
film fast-moving sports activities because it films 60 times per second. It
will also be helpful to the development of a system that detects a tumor and a defect
of an electronic part automatically because filmed data can be processed by
computer. Panasonic presented the new technology in the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) being held in San Francisco. Sensor samples have already
been built, and evaluation for various usages has started. The new sensor can reportedly
be produced with the existing semiconductor processing technology.
