OmniVision, a prominent developer in semiconductor solutions, has announced the OV01D1R intelligent CMOS image sensor.
The new sensor integrates capabilities for human presence detection (HPD), infrared (IR) facial authentication, and always-on technology within a single device, designed specifically for the computing industry. The OV01D1R is designed to enhance laptop security features while maintaining low power consumption and operating independently of the laptop’s RGB camera.
While traditional HPD systems rely on the RGB sensor, which can be disabled by physical privacy shutters, OMNIVISION’s design ensures that HPD and facial recognition features remain active even when the RGB sensor is blocked, thanks to the independent OV01D sensor.
The OV01D1R features a 1-megapixel image sensor that uses very little power, and provides a resolution of 1280 x 720 at 30 frames per second. The sensor uses a mono-IR color filter and PureCel pixel technology, which gives it high sensitivity and image quality. It’s designed for use in various devices, including laptops, tablets, monitors, webcams, doorbells, and home security cameras.
The OV01D1R is available for sampling now, with mass production expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024. The development is anticipated to bring enhanced security and user convenience, including touch-free login and privacy-preserving features, to upcoming laptop models and other devices.
