Time-of-flight camera. A time-of-flight camera (ToF camera) is a range imaging camera system that resolves distance based on the known speed of light, measuring the time-of-flight of a light signal between the camera and the subject for each point of the image.

Time-of-flight camera

The time-of-flight camera is a class of scannerless LIDAR, in which the entire scene is captured with each laser or light pulse, as opposed to point-by-point with a laser beam such as in scanning LIDAR systems.[1] Time-of-flight camera products for civil applications began to emerge around 2000,[2] as the semiconductor processes became fast enough for such devices. The systems cover ranges of a few centimeters up to about 60 m. The distance resolution is about 1 cm. LED-Based Sensing. La technologie de détection LeddarMC LeddarMC (acronyme de Light Emitting Diode Detection And Ranging, Détection et télémétrie par diodes électroluminescentes) est une technologie novatrice développée par LeddarTech qui détecte et mesure la distance d’un objet en calculant la durée du trajet d’impulsions lumineuses émises par des DEL infrarouges.

LED-Based Sensing

Des mesures fiables et précises Contrairement aux scanners laser, le capteur LeddarMC n’utilise pas un faisceau collimaté étroit mais une large zone d’éclairage, ce qui permet de mesurer avec précision tout type d’objet. 16 segments de détection discrets pour couvrir une région d’intérêt La source à DEL est pulsée à raison de 100 000 impulsions par seconde.

Senz3D - Webcams - Creative Labs (France) EyeSight’s Gesture Recognition TechnologyEyeSight. EyeSight’s Touch Free technology utilizes advanced real-time image processing and machine vision algorithms to track the user’s hand gestures and convert them into commands.

eyeSight’s Gesture Recognition TechnologyEyeSight

These commands are then used to control functions and applications within the device, creating a Natural User Interaction. The technology is completely software based and is independent of the underlying processor and camera hardware. eyeSight’s technology produces robust gesture recognition using only a standard 2D camera, and is further compatible with 3D stereoscopic sensors, and IR illumination. The Touch Free technology can be easily integrated into various levels of the digital device: on the chipset level, operating system, as part of the camera module, or simply integrated in application level. Integration involves minimal resource deployment, enabling short time-to-market in a cost effective manner.

Gesture Recognition. In January of this year I did a company profile on eyeSight.

Gesture Recognition

At the time, their tech looked promising for both standard and mobile Gesture Recognition applications. Well they’re back at it again and this time they’ve set their sights on Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 8 OS. Instead of just focusing on generic swipes and waves to control normal functions such as raising the volume on a music app or answering a phone call, the company has come up with a very novel approach to perform more advanced tasks. They call it eyeKeys and it allows certain kestrokes to be mapped to gestures allowing users to easily control applications in a way that would not be possible before. I’ve been considering starting some development on a similiar product so I’m encoraged to say the least. When released the Leap will possibly be the smallest Gesture Recognition device in the market place. See the video below…Pretty amazing stuff…Or is it???

Measurand ShapeTape / ShapeAnimator_Capture Suits_SouVR. Freehand 3D Ultrasound using optical Shape Tape to track the probe. GOAL: Freehand 3D ultrasound involves recording the trajectory of the ultrasound probe as the clinician performs the ultrasound scan and using it with the ultrasound images to build up 3D information.

Freehand 3D Ultrasound using optical Shape Tape to track the probe

Most freehand 3D ultrasound systems require a position sensor based on visual tracking or a varying magnetic field. Both of these can be inconvenient in a clinical environment. This project involves using a device called "Shape Tape" to track the probe. This device uses optical fibres to measure the curvature along its length, and hence compute the position and orientation of one end relative to the other. METHOD: A section of Shape Tape will be attached to the final section of cable leading to the ultrasound probe. Motion Capture_PRODUCT_SouVR. DepthSense® 325.
