Framos now supplies the Intel RealSense lidar depth camera L515
InGaAs and event-based sensors still rely on silicon CMOS readout ICs
Greg Blackman explores the work being done on InGaAs sensors, along with other types of novel sensor that could find their way into the machine vision market
Attendees will participate on a discussion focused on the components and assembly processes needed to satisfy current user-driven demands in application fields including automotive, mapping, Earth observation, and security.
