Gated imaging is a subset of Time-Of-Flight imaging technologies in which a high-power pulsed light source and a camera with controlled shutter opening and closing are utilized for imaging.
After a predetermined delay, the camera sensor “opens the gate,” or initiates the exposure, for a very brief time.
Based on the ToF principle, gated sensor technology may fill in the gaps in the current camera offerings and improve performance in adverse weather, particularly in low visibility.
By preventing backscatter, the primary objective of gated imaging technology is to enhance underwater photography contrast. When observing territories from a plane, this method can be used to spot sea mines and see through clouds.
The development of this technology for additional applications like target identification, night vision, and three-dimensional imaging has been further driven by military research.
The Global Fast gated sensors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Bright Way Vision, according to Tower Jazz, has selected its TS18IS CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology to produce image sensors for its patented automotive cameras, specifically forward-looking cameras in vehicles that enable visibility in all weather conditions.
Based on patented gated imaging technology, Bright Way Vision has created Bright Eye, an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) camera for forward-facing driver assistance functions during the day and at night.
Together, Tower Jazz and Bright Way Vision created a novel gated pixel that has never before been manufactured on silicon because it needs an incredibly fast charge transfer.
This sensor, which is entirely based on a CMOS process, outperforms rival solutions based on infrared vision technology and is significantly more affordable.
The noise level typically associated with ambient light is eliminated by using a “gated” sensor to collect light that is reflected back from objects that are a certain distance away from the vehicle.
Additionally, thanks to this sensor, the system is able to detect objects accurately and notify the driver of their proximity to the car.
