LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OmniVision
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced
digital imaging solutions, today announced from the Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas,
that its OV7251 global shutter image sensor has been selected by
Mantis Vision as one of the sensors intended for its
next-generation 3D camera reference design, as part of its MV4D
technology platform for mobile devices. OmniVision's OV7251, as a
premier mobile-ready VGA image sensor with global shutter
capabilities, will facilitate accurate 3D imaging and content
creation for the MV4D technology platform.
"By developing our 3D mobile camera using OmniVision's OV7251
sensor, Mantis Vision's MV4D technology platform has taken a leap
forward in meeting the demands of our partners with daylight
operability, sub-mm data accuracies, and slim form-factor
compatibility," said Gur Arie Bittan, CTO of Mantis Vision. "With
OmniVision's support, we expect the new camera reference design to
be available for mobile OEM's in mid-2015."
"With its MV4D technology platform, Mantis Vision takes 3D
imaging mainstream introducing their technology to compact, high
performance mobile devices like smartphones and tablets," said
Tehzeeb Gunja, senior partnership
and business development manager at OmniVision. "We are very
excited about the new, imaginative and compelling user experiences
that 3D imaging can deliver."
The 1/7.5-inch OV7251 global shutter sensor enables the MV4D
camera to record VGA resolution video at up to 100 frames per
second (FPS). By using a global
shutter, the OV7251 is able to greatly reduce
ambient light constraints, while allowing for simultaneous
operation of multiple devices simultaneously without cross
interfering. OmniVision's OV7251 also enables excellent low-light
sensitivity and provides motion tracking information, facilitating
the utilization of accurate and detailed device orientation
data.
