Orbbec and Microsoft launched its newest 3D digital camera the Femto Mega. | Supply: Orbbec

3D digital camera producer Orbbec launched its newest product, the Femto Mega, at CES 2023. Femto Mega was inbuilt partnership with Microsoft. The depth digital camera makes use of Microsoft’s time-of-flight (ToF) expertise for exact scene understanding over a large 120 levels area of view and a broad vary from 0.25m to 5.5m. The 1 mega-pixel depth digital camera is complemented by a high-performance 4K decision RGB digital camera with 90° FOV.

A built-in NVIDIA Jetson Nano is used to run superior depth imaginative and prescient algorithms to transform uncooked information to specific depth photographs. This eliminates the necessity for an exterior PC or compute machine, Orbbec stated.

The digital camera might be instantly linked to servers or the cloud utilizing the Energy over Ethernet (PoE) connection for each information and energy. The machine additionally has USB-C 3.2 and DC energy provide connectors. A 6DOF IMU module offers orientation. The common set off management system offers correct body synchronization and makes use of commonplace ethernet cables for multi-camera and multi-sensor networks. The SDK permits setup and registration, and a set of APIs permits integration with varied purposes.

“Orbbec’s Femto Mega extends using Microsoft’s depth expertise, utilized in Hololens and Azure Kinect DevKit, to a broad vary of business purposes,” Jon Yee, the depth PM director at Microsoft, stated. “This digital camera is a results of a detailed collaboration between our groups and will probably be a necessary instrument serving to AI builders so as to add depth notion to laptop imaginative and prescient.”

“Our large-scale cargo digitization resolution is constructed utilizing Microsoft’s Azure Kinect and Azure and is commercially deployed in Singapore. It’s also in business trials for flight capability optimization and digital dealing with at a number of worldwide airports,” Dr. Suraj Nair, CTO at Speedcargo Applied sciences, Singapore, stated. “Orbbec’s Femto Mega permits us to take care of compatibility with our present system whereas decreasing the scale, price and complexity of our resolution. This can allow ease of scaling our operations to new areas.”

“Femto Mega is geared toward increasing using 3D imaginative and prescient in varied trade options,” Amit Banerjee, head of platform and partnerships at Orbbec, stated. “We’re excited to introduce this new category-leading clever digital camera as a part of Orbbec’s new depth imaginative and prescient platform.”
