TrueSight 1.0 is a technology demonstrator for Single-Pixel Imaging 3D dToF Camera
At LightCode Photonics, we are pushing the boundaries of 3D imaging technology with TrueSight 1.0, a groundbreaking technology demonstrator for single-pixel imaging (SPI) direct time-of-flight (dToF) 3D cameras. Unlike traditional 3D cameras, our TrueSight 1.0 showcases an innovative computational imaging approach that sets us apart from other developers in the industry. Therefore, TrueSight 1.0 stands as an ideal platform for innovators aiming to develop advanced imaging systems for applications where traditional photodetectors fall short.
Unique Aspects
Unique Aspects
TrueSight 1.0 showcases our expertise and capabilities in cutting-edge 3D imaging technologies. Our innovations in SPI enable dynamic control over image resolution, allowing us to achieve output resolutions far beyond the sensor’s native capacity. Additionally, our custom-designed sub-nanosecond pulsed laser driver and time-to-digital converter (TDC) for time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) deliver exceptional depth accuracy. Paired with an FPGA-based data processing chain, TrueSight 1.0 offers a computationally efficient and flexible solution, setting new standards in high-performance 3D imaging.
High Temporal Resolution
High Temporal Resolution
TrueSight 1.0 achieves high spatial resolution by utilizing low-resolution photodetectors with high temporal resolution, combined with LightCode technology to create sub-nanosecond laser pulses.
Simultaneous acquisition of multi-resolution depth images
Simultaneous acquisition of multi-resolution depth images
TrueSight 1.0 camera will acquire 3D data with different resolutions at multiple framerates simultaneously. Higher framerate for obstacle avoidance and safety, and higher resolution for object recognition and high precision tasks.

Combining 3D + RGB imaging
Combining 3D + RGB imaging
TrueSight 1.0 camera integrates LightCode 3D camera technology and 2D RGB into one hardware, ensuring the best alignment and facilitating the implementation of high-confidence and computationally efficient object detection and SLAM solutions.
Single-Pixel Imaging
Single-Pixel Imaging
LightCode Photonics' TrueSight 1.0 3D camera uses LightCode's patent-pending IP to increase the effective resolution of the otherwise low-resolution highly-sensitive SPAD detector. By default, the detector's native resolution is increased, but not limited to an increase of 128 times by using spatially modulated light fields without mechanical scanning. Additionally, the resolution increase factor can be modified to be higher or lower in the cost of frame acquisition times.
