OmniVision adds Almalence software to enhance imaging
The coupling of OmniVision’s OV10823 and PureCel™ OV13850 image sensors with Almalence’s computational imaging algorithms allows for the capturing of high-resolution images or videos in low-light conditions, OmniVision claimed.
The OV10823 is built on OmniVision’s 1.4-micron OmniBSI-2 pixel architecture, which can provide 720p high definition video at 30 frames per second. The use of Almalence’s low-light enhancement software can enable a 10dB reduction in noise without washing out desirable image details. Cameras can experience a 1.5 to 2x effective resolution increase, OmniVision said.
"Almalence’s computational algorithms carry the potential to help OmniVision redefine the user experience by bringing dramatically enhanced video and imaging to next-generation mobile devices," said Tehzeeb Gunja, business development manager at OmniVision, in a statement. "When using Almalence’s algorithms, our high performance OV13850 PureCel image sensor can enable high quality video recording in full resolution at 30 frames per second for zero shutter lag, and also can support high frame rate 1080p HD video at 60 frames per second with electronic image stabilization."
Almalence is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and has an R&D base in Novosibirsk, Russia.
