The Topaz5D is a full-HD CMOS image sensor designed to combine 2D vision with the generation of 3D depth maps. A single Topaz5D sensor used in challenging lighting conditions delivers 3D object visualization based on the contrast detected. Topaz5D combines a 2.5µm global shutter pixel with a post-processing diffraction layer to create angular sensitive pixels. This enables 3D angular signal raw data to be generated and then processed by a 5D compatible SDK. Topaz5D has a 2-megapixel resolution and is available in monochrome and color versions. Its 7.65mm x 4.45mm form factor makes it easy to integrate into space-constrained areas. It consumes only 200mW of power to run at full frame rate. Topaz5D can be used in indoor lighting or direct sunlight. Compared to a stereoscopy solution, only a single sensor plus a lens is required, without the need for complex dual-lens system alignment and there is no risk of optical occlusion.
