Swiss researchers from CSEM (Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology) in Neuchâtel developed the smallest ever complete camera system on a microchip with vision-in-Package (VIP). All elements of a camera system are united in less than one cubic centimeter of space.
The camera system with an optical component, a processor and a wireless transmitter is summarized in a single, easy to integrate component combination and is suitable for a wide range of applications. These include brand recognition, robot-assisted surgery, automatic driving assistance systems and even home security systems.
The concept and the complete package solution, which will be presented on 19 May at the Sensor + Test trade fair in Nuremberg for the first time, includes a camera, which is three times less than the current developments in the field of optical sensors and eight times smaller than what is currently installed in motor vehicles as driver assistance systems. The entire system is smaller than one cubic centimeter and about as small as a 10-euro cent coin.
To reduce the overall size of the system dramatically, the application research on techniques that have been developed for solar energy oriented. Based on the operating principle of a solar concentrator that concentrates sunlight and forwards, presented the application research of this principle of non-imaging optics upside down and developed a technique that reads interpreted under extremely cramped environments and even in direct contact with the object and correct images.
By the optical component is a Cortex-M4F microcontroller which is equipped with a Bluetooth transceiver, coupled, the entire low-energy system is autonomous and versatile. With dimensions of only 16.5 x 16.5 mm and a height of just 3 millimeters, the stand-alone system communicate via different ports with other elements and can be easily integrated into existing platforms, thanks to a software development.
The ease of integration and miniaturization of the VIP system will make it possible in the future application scenarios for optical technologies in the domestic sector, in the industry and to design smaller, more efficient and virtually invisible in medical technology.
Due to the fact that the automated optical monitoring become more and more place in everyday processes, the future potential applications for this miniature camera are extremely versatile: robot control, self-propelled applications, smart home applications, personal health monitoring, automation of agricultural production processes and product verification are just a few a few possible examples. The launch of the micro camera should take place before the end.
