Teledyne e2v and Airy3D collaboration delivers more affordable 3D vision solutions

Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies company and global innovator of imaging solutions, is pleased to announce a new technology and design collaboration with Airy3D (Montreal, Canada), a leading 3D vision solution provider. The first result of this partnership is the co-engineering of the recently announced Topaz5D™, a low-cost, low power, passive, 2 megapixel global shutter sensor which produces 2D images and 3D depth maps.

Arnaud Foucher, Business Team Director at Teledyne e2v, said, “We’re very excited to have collaborated with Airy3D on the development of Topaz5D, our latest unique CMOS sensor. The need to deploy alternative 3D vision solutions in different industries is crucial. Teledyne e2v’s image sensor design capability coupled with Airy3D’s proven 3D technology has allowed us to develop more 3D vision products for several market segments with a reduced cost of ownership.”

Chris Barrett, CEO of Airy3D, commented, “Airy3D uniquely combines our patented optically Transmissive Diffraction Mask (TDM) design and deep software processing know-how, enabling our partners to add value to their products. Teledyne e2v’s image sensor design, production and supply chain expertise are paramount in introducing these novel 3D solutions to the market and this initiative is a key milestone for us.”

A Topaz5D Evaluation Kit and monochrome and color sensor samples are available now for evaluations and design. Please contact Teledyne e2v for more information.
