Unigroup Spreadtrum Communications (“Spreadtrum”) and OmniVision have jointly announced the first turnkey active stereo 3D camera reference design for smartphones. The reference design’s small form factor and low power requirements enable smartphone manufacturers to quickly and easily incorporate advanced 3D imaging capabilities, such as 3D modeling, depth capturing and face authentication, into next-generation smartphone designs.
According to OmniVision, the company anticipates face login to be one of the key features for upcoming mobile devices. Achieving this requires complete camera hardware and software system development, which can be an extremely complicated, resource-intensive and expensive process. The aim of the new active stereo 3D camera reference design is to reduce time to market and other key hurdles for customers. This offering reflects the strong partnership with Spreadtrum and the continued determination to deliver innovative solutions that ease our customers’ pain points.
Pairing OmniVision’s ultra-compact OV9282 and OV7251 global shutter sensors with the powerful Spreadtrum SC9853I applications processor has resulted in a compelling active stereo camera solution that delivers the performance that manufacturers expect in the remarkably compact and power-efficient form factor that they need. Based on 14nm octa-core 64-bit Airmont architecture, the Spreadtrum SC9853I reaches 1.8 GHz in dominant frequency and delivers high-quality multimedia capabilities.
