Qualcomm recently announced that Qualcomm ® Spectra ™ Expanding the module plan, the second generation Spectra ISP was released. Compared with the first generation product, it focuses on improving biometrics and high-resolution 3D depth sensing technology to meet the increasing performance requirements of mobile devices and HMDs. In addition, the ISP can be used on mobile phones, VR helmets and AR devices at the same time.
The second generation Spectra ISP adopts Qualcomm's new architecture. The new generation Spectra ISP not only improves image quality and imaging speed, but also reduces power consumption. It mainly has the following important improvements and new functions: 1. excellent photographic quality, support for more advanced multi frame noise reduction technology and ultra-high resolution; 2. Improve motion compensated time-domain filtering (MCTF) to improve video quality; 3. Better gyroscope based electronic stability system (EIS); 4. More accurate image positioning and mapping; 5. Machine learning algorithm is added to achieve better face recognition and 3D depth perception.
In addition to the improvements in image quality and power consumption, Qualcomm's second-generation Spectra ISP has added face recognition technology and 3D depth perception technology, which also caters to the growing demand for AR and VR. In the 3D depth sensing scheme, the new part of the camera module project includes three camera modules, including iris authentication module, passive depth sensing module and active depth sensing module.
The Qualcomm Spectra module project released last year aims to help customers accelerate the time to market of terminals that support excellent image quality and advanced camera technology. Last year's products provided customers with an optimized dual camera module solution, facilitating manufacturers to create smart phone cameras with enhanced low light shooting and smooth zoom video recording functions. Now, the camera module project has been expanded to include a new camera module, which can support outstanding biometrics by active sensing, and support various computer vision applications requiring real-time, multiple depth of field map generation and segmentation by using structured light.
The second generation Qualcomm Spectra ISP is a next-generation integrated ISP series that uses a new hardware and software architecture, designed for improving computer vision, image quality and efficiency in the future Snapdragon platform. It supports multi frame noise reduction technology, which can achieve excellent shooting quality. It also supports hardware accelerated dynamic compensation time filter (MCTF) and inline electronic image stabilization (EIS), which can achieve excellent video quality "like a camera". In addition to the optimized synchronous positioning and map building (SLAM) algorithm, the Qualcomm Spectra ISP's low-power, high-performance motion tracking function is designed to target virtual reality and augmented reality applications that require SLAM, and support new extended reality (XR) use cases. The Qualcomm Spectra ISP series and the new Qualcomm Spectra camera module are expected to be integrated into the next flagship Snapdragon mobile platform.
