"ai-CMOS" 9-channel color camera

From Transformative Optics Corporation: https://www.ai-cmos.com/

ai-CMOS
sensors solve many of today’s challenges with antiquated CMOS
technology, offering unprecedented accuracy, an expanded spectrum, plus
9-channel AI-optimized color. Extending beyond the visible spectrum into
near-ultraviolet (NUV) and near-infrared (NIR) greatly expands
capabilities for mobile photography, autonomous transport, and machine
vision.

With higher sensitivity than Bayer sensors, near-complete
color gamut, and expansion beyond visible light to near-infrared and
ultraviolet frequencies, ai-CMOS brings a unique multispectral ability
to standard cameras.

 

Mobile Photography.
Close the gap between performance and portability, while unlocking new potential for AI-powered apps.
More Contrast: Improved Black and White Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)
Broader Spectrum: Extension to Near Infrared (NIR) and Near Ultraviolet channel
Near-Complete Color Gamut: Improving color accuracy, automated white balance
Enhanced
Sensitivity: Twice the Light. Lower light levels, less motion blur,
plus twice the signal levels for a myriad of Integrated Signal
Processing functions.

Machine Vision.
ai-CMOS offers AI applications richer and more complete data sets for training, object detection, and object classification.
Richer Data: 3x the information over Bayer
AI
Optimizations: increased raw data content for feature vectors and 2x
the signal strength for Integrated Signal Processing aiding apps like
Super-Resolution
More Contrast: Improved Black and White Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)
Broader Spectrum: Extension to Near Infrared (NIR) and Near Ultraviolet channels

Automotive.
ai-CMOS captures more detailed data in low-light conditions, at night, and in poorer weather conditions, like fog and rain.
Spectral Sensitivity: ai-CMOS captures twice the light of current ADAS CMOS technology on the market.
Object
Detection: 25% color gamut increase and 3x Feature Vectors from
traditional sensors, greatly enhancing object detection and
classification.
Autonomous Driving: Better enable autonomous vehicles
to navigate more complex environments, and interact with other vehicles
and pedestrians.
