Chronoptics™ 3D Imaging
Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D range imaging technology allows electronic devices to perceive depth and experience the world in three-dimensions, something we humans take for granted. The technology can be applied in a variety of markets including, security, automotive, consumer electronics, gaming, medical, and automation. However, this technology is very new and suffers from a number of limitations
Chronoptics™ is a research group at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, performing leading-edge research and development in the 3D Time-of-Flight range imaging field. Our speciality is in creating novel platform independent algorithms and designs, to ultimately improve the quality and reduce technical constraints of the current commercial range imaging camera technologies. We are working with cameras and sensors from Mesa Imaging, PMD Technology and Canesta.
