In recent years, the large-scale adoption of structured light solutions in smartphones has made 3D imaging gradually become a standard feature in mobile phones, leading to a significant boom in 3D imaging technology. Regular cameras capture 2D planar images, losing the third dimension of information from the physical world (such as size and distance). As a result, computers can only record images and recognize features from flat images, making analysis algorithms extremely complex, and current intelligent analysis capabilities are very limited.
3D imaging, on the other hand, can identify the three-dimensional coordinate information of each point in the field of view, enabling computers to obtain 3D spatial data and reconstruct a complete three-dimensional world, thus realizing various intelligent 3D positioning functions. The main approaches to achieve 3D imaging include binocular stereo vision, TOF (Time of Flight), and structured light solutions. NOP's TOF solution products are as follows:
