Analog Devices Collaborates with Microsoft to Mass Produce State-of-the-Art 3D Imaging Products and Solutions
22 Settembre 2020 - 9:00PM
Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADI) today
announced a strategic collaboration with Microsoft Corp. to
leverage Microsoft’s 3D time-of-flight (ToF) sensor technology,
allowing customers to easily create high-performance 3D
applications that bring higher degrees of depth accuracy and work
regardless of the environmental conditions in the scene. ADI’s
technical expertise will build upon Microsoft Azure Kinect
technology to deliver leading ToF solutions to a much broader
audience in areas such as Industry 4.0, automotive, gaming,
augmented reality, computational photography and videography.

Currently, the industrial market is seeing a push for 3D imaging
systems that can be used in harsh environments where cutting-edge
applications such as human-collaboration robots, room mapping, and
inventory management systems are required to bring Industry 4.0 to
life. ToF applications are also needed to create safer automobile
experiences for drivers and passengers by outfitting vehicles with
occupancy detection and driver monitoring capabilities.
“Our customers want depth image capture that ‘just works’ and is
as easy as taking a photo,” said Duncan Bosworth, General Manager,
Consumer Business Unit, Analog Devices. “Microsoft’s ToF 3D sensor
technology used in the HoloLens mixed-reality headset and Azure
Kinect Development Kit is seen as the industry standard for
time-of-flight technologies. Combining this technology with
custom-built solutions from ADI, our customers can easily deploy
and scale the next generation of high-performance applications they
demand, out of the box.”
Analog Devices is designing, manufacturing, and selling a new
product series of 3D ToF imagers, laser drivers, software and
hardware-based depth systems that will provide the best depth
resolutions in the market with accuracy down to the millimeter. ADI
will start building full systems wrapped around complementary
metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) imagers to deliver imaging with
greater 3D detail, operating over farther distances, and performing
robustly regardless of what is in line of sight. This platform will
provide customers with plug and play features for fast and
large-scale deployment.
“Analog Devices is an established leader in translating physical
phenomena into digital information,” said Cyrus Bamji, Microsoft
Partner Hardware Architect, Microsoft. “This collaboration will
expand market access of our ToF sensor technology and enable the
development of commercial 3D sensors, cameras, and related
solutions, which will be compatible with a Microsoft ecosystem
built on top of Microsoft depth, Intelligent Cloud, and Intelligent
Edge platforms.”
ToF 3D sensor technology projects precisely controlled laser
light in durations of nanoseconds, which then reflect from the
scene onto a high-resolution image sensor giving a depth estimate
for every pixel in the image array. ADI’s new CMOS ToF products
based on Microsoft’s technology enables highly accurate depth
measurement, low noise, high robustness to multipath interference,
and calibration solutions for ease of manufacturing. ADI’s products
and solutions are already being sampled and the first 3D imaging
products using Microsoft technology are expected to release by the
end of 2020.
