When
you want to create a 3D projection of the object around, you have to
have a set of special equipment to scan the object in detail. Of the equipment to scan the object is not easily available and the price is quite expensive.
That is the problem to be solved by scientists at CalTech. Under the expert leadership of Ali Hajimiri electrical, CalTech scientists are now developing a new camera sensor which can make your phone to scan the object in 3D.
The camera sensor uses a chip called nanophotonic coherent imager in which there is a technology called LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging). LIDAR technology used the camera sensor to scan the data of height, width and depth of each pixel that is captured by the camera.
LIDAR uses lasers as empirically. The laser emitted to the target object and the sensor will read the reflection of the laser wave. LIDAR technology has been widely used in various fields, including the automatic missiles, and a car without a driver.
LIDAR is not a new technology, but the use of such technology to create a 3D camera sensor is a new thing. Ali Hajimiri said, the new camera sensor can cut the price of the 3D camera without sacrificing quality.
Ali Hajimiri also added that the artificial 3D camera sensor capable of scanning an object with a very high degree of accuracy, even to the micron size.
Currently, the camera sensor is only able to scan images with a resolution of 16 pixels, so it still can not be used to scan large-sized motorcycle. However, scientists at CalTech said that the resolution of the camera sensor they can be enlarged, so that will be implemented on smartphones and other mobile devices. (The Verge)
