Three-dimension indirect time-of-flight camera for industrial robotics applications offered by E-con

Summary points:

• E-con Systems introduces the DepthVista Helix CW-iToF 3D camera for industrial robotics applications including autonomous mobile robots, bin picking, and palletization.
• The camera uses a 1.2-megapixel Hyperlux ID AF0130 global-shutter depth sensor from onsemi to provide simultaneous high-resolution depth, confidence, and IR grayscale data streams.
• Designed for AI-enabled robotic systems, the camera integrates with NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms and includes a software development kit to speed evaluation, prototyping, and deployment.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – E-con Systems in Riverside, Calif., is introducing the DepthVista Helix 3D continuous wave indirect time-of-flight (iToF) camera for industrial robotics applications like autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), pick-and-place, bin-picking, palletization and depalletization robots, industrial safety and automation, and smart agriculture.

The DepthVista Helix is a high-performance depth camera that provides 3D perception. It is based on a 1.2-megapixel onsemi Hyperlux ID AF0130 global shutter depth sensor.

The camera delivers simultaneous high-resolution depth, confidence, and IR grayscale streams using continuous-wave indirect time of flight (CW-iTOF) technology. It is designed for integration with NVIDIA Jetson Orin general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs).

VCSEL illumination

DepthVista Helix offers a dual VCSEL illumination architecture for between performance, cost, and mechanical design. To simplify deployment, E-con Systems provides the DepthVista SDK, which includes V4L2-based Linux camera drivers, Depth visualization and control tools, reference applications for Static box dimensioning and Pose estimation. This software framework significantly reduces development time and enables faster evaluation, prototyping, and production deployment.

These three-dimension cameras offer in-camera depth computation with integrated on-chip depth processing; high-resolution depth sensing; IP67 rated camera design with GMSL2 cable support; multi-camera interference mitigation; compatibility with NVIDIA Jetson platforms, including Orin NX and Orin AGX; and narrow field of view (NFOV) of the depth camera enables precise distance measurement with dense point-cloud data and reduced multipath interference.
