In 2022, 81% of intelligent phones had activated biometry, including facial unlocking. Income from the facial recognition market is expected to reach $ 19.3 billion by 2032.
The feature of facial unlocking on smartphones today traditionally requires three technologies: a laser dot projector, an infrared lamp and a standard 2D selfie camera.
According to Yoav Berlatzky, CEO and co -founder of holographic PXE images, this results in a complex and expensive system that limits the function on high -level phones like the iPhone.
At the beginning of this month, Pxe introduced a new holographic camera RGB-IR Technology that can convert 2D standard camera into smartphones, laptops and cars on comprehensive 3D cameras with high performance. This means that the camera can capture color, infrared and depth at the same time by a sensor.
Berlatzky says that combining these technologies into a sensor-informed and 3D information allows the feature of facial unlocking to be released for all intelligent phones and laptop models, not just high-level devices.
“This would enable 2D color images, infrared and depth for the frame, and in a single sensor – with the potential to improve all standard 2D cameras in the market in advanced 3D camera systems,” Berlatzky said. “It can completely transform how consumers experience and capture the world through their daily equipment.”
Berlatzky says other technology applications will improve user experiences, such as improved photography and portrait. “For example, background blur known as Bokh can be improved through the depth map and added HDR, enabling intelligent phones to optimize lighting and better exposure.”
2D images, depth maps and infrared images at the same time
“Standard color cameras consist of a lens that focuses light rays on a light -sensitive film, namely the Bayer Filter, which captures the intensity of light and its color, and this information is recorded in a CMOS image sensor, ”Berlatzky said
Pxe holographic image sensor uses the same lens and CMO image sensor, but instead of treating light as rays in a light -sensitive film, it uses wave light information.
“To implement the holographic image of PXE, the Bayer filter is replaced with a holographic optical layer, the PXE Holocoder,” Berlatzky said. “Instead of the red, blue and green filter filtered by the Bayer filter, the Holocoder produces a white light hologram consisting of the light wave information.”
This means that captured holograms are deciphered in real time by the owner’s algorithm, fully determinant of the company and then emerge as locally melted channels, infrared and 3D. “Standard cameras can only generate 2D color images, but our camera can generate 2D color images, depth maps and infrared images at the same time.”
Developing applications
Berlatzky says that new and future applications, such as added reality (AR) and games, 3D scan for online purchases and environmental map, gesture recognition and touchless control, improved medical and health applications, and All things metavers, space computing and personalized interactions will require 3D entry.
“Improving mobile camera cameras over the years has essentially brought professional level cameras to the hands of consumers, unlocking a world with content generated by users, influences, etc.,” Berlatzky said. “3D behavior in the mix – at no additional cost to the consumer – will unlock the next generation of photography and video fingertips.
“Pxe technology enables these applications to be applied to all phone and laptop models without adding extra or complex costs to the product,” he said.
Twin digital applications
Pxe holographic technology enhances image quality and opens the 3D diving image door, providing a real -time digital twin.
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object. Across the industry, digital twins are being used in markets such as energy, airspace, automobiles, construction, health care and retail, services to allow companies to improve and optimize design and critical infrastructure, predictive maintenance, planning Urban, predict diseases and test treatments.
However, according to Berlatzky, digital twins are also being used in defects, smart homes and other applications led by him.
“Users can interact with other people in Metaverse as if it were in real life compared to an avatar,” he said. “A good example is to enable a virtual shopping experience where you can browse a store and its products online as if you were in a physical store and then use your digital twin to have a very accurate understanding of how will see you an item. ”
Drone applications
According to Berlatzky, each product and industry has a different case of use for images of depth and color.
On intelligent phones, it is at the center of the user and enables biometric features such as facial unlocking or background blur.
“For drones, use can be avoiding obstacles and landing instructions,” Berlatzky said. “The drones would benefit from a single sensors like Pxe because they are very sensitive to weight and size, and today’s drones require a lot of sensors to design the environment with information about color and depth in order to have a drone safe and semi-autonomous. “
By reducing the form factor to a single sensor while still providing relevant information, drones can reduce their size and energy consumption. It makes them safer and more operational, Berlatzky said.
