GRENOBLE, France – Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies company in Grenoble, France, is introducing the Topaz5D full-HD CMOS imaging sensor designed to combine 2D vision with the generation of 3D depth maps.
One Topaz5D used in challenging lighting conditions delivers 3D object visualization based on the contrast detected for logistics applications, augmented- and virtual-reality headsets, access control devices, household vacuum robots, and autonomous mobile robots.
Topaz5D CMOS imaging sensor combines a 2.5-micron global shutter pixel with a post-processing diffraction layer to create angular sensitive pixels. This helps generate and process 3D angular signal raw data.
Topaz5D is a 3D-enabled variant of Teledyne e2v's Topaz 2M, which is used in logistics, retail, and smart factories.

Topaz5D has a 2 megapixel resolution and is available in both monochrome and color. Its 7.65-by-4.45-millimeter form factor helps it integrate into space-constrained optical engines or modules.
It consumes 200 milliwatts of power to run at full frame rate. It generates 3D depth maps and displays contrast details even black or very shiny, and through sheets of glass or transparent organic materials like Plexiglas or plastic bottles.
Topaz5D works in indoor lighting or direct sunlight. One sensor plus a lens is required, without the need for complex dual-lens system alignment.
