September 15, 2006—Tyzx, Inc. has introduced the DeepSea G2 Stereo Vision System, a small, multi-purpose, embedded stereo camera that can be deployed in mobile platforms such as commercial and defense robots, automobiles, or networked together into person-tracking security systems.
Tyzx, building on more than 15 years of research at Harvard, Interval Research, MIT, and Stanford, has developed a platform of hardware, software and services for building affordable products that see and interact with the world in three dimensions.
The low power and small footprint of the new embedded G2 vision system permit powerful real-time 3D vision processing in applications and products where traditional workstations cannot be used. Tyzx 3DAWARE real time 3D stereo vision is especially useful for products that operate in dynamic, variably lit environments. It also provides higher quality results, such as color, wider field of view, higher resolution and better range accuracy, than current monocular optical-based, lidar or radar systems.
Tyzx has been providing its G2 stereo vision systems to its key partners, such as NASA, Unisys Corporation and Takata Group, to develop and test the technology. The DeepSea G2 Vision system is now generally available immediately from Tyzx. Pricing for the system is $4,995 in low volumes.
