Now, the camera module program is being expanded to include new camera modules capable of utilizing active sensing for biometric authentication, and structured light for a variety of computer vision applications that require real-time, dense depth map generation and segmentation.
The low-power, high-performance motion tracking capabilities of the Qualcomm Spectra ISP, in addition to optimized simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms, are designed to support new extended reality (XR) use cases for VR and AR applications that require SLAM.
It also features multi-frame noise reduction for superior photographic quality, along with hardware-accelerated motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF), and inline electronic image stabilization (EIS) for superior camcorder-like video quality.
The Spectra family of ISPs and new Spectra camera modules are expected to be part of the next flagship Snapdragon Mobile Platform.
Qualcomm Emerging Vision Technologies presentation gives some use cases for its 3D depth sensing module.
Qualcomm also publishes a Youtube demo if its structured light depth sensing module:
the depth output seems decent actually. However, the FoV very narrow, which is a good way to improve depth output for geometric methods like structured light, but then again, narrow FoV makes for narrow set of use cases.
