NESS ZIONA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Newsight Imaging, an Israeli startup that develops CMOS Image Sensor chips for machine vision geared to the robotics, automotive, Smart City, Industry 4.0 and mobile devices markets introduces the NSI3000EVBX, a full reference design kit for advanced 3D depth imaging. The kit is designed for use with Newsight Imaging’s NSI3XXX line sensor family, which supports its patented eTOF™ technology.
The field-proven patented eTOF™ technology delivers accurate, long distance and high frame-rate acquisition of depth points, in addition to unique solutions such as reflection filtering. Unlike other technologies, calculation of each depth distance point with eTOF™ technology requires minimal clock cycles and a small number of frames; this makes it well-suited to low power consumption devices, such as mobile devices, including smartphones, while significantly reducing overall costs. According to Yole Développement, the depth sensing consumer market is expected to reach $6B in 2022, driven by Mobile phone applications.
The eTOF™ technology is based on seven U.S. patents, two already issued:

https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2018096545
The kit includes:
- A carrying PCB with the NSI3XXX chip, an eTOF™ friendly laser driver, and a socket for a laser light source (or VCSEL)
- A Xilinx-based controller board attached to the carrying board
- A set of software drivers to operate the board
- An application running on a PC to display the depth point distance
- A full step-by-step guide for a customer prototype build.
