Transparent imaging stack integrated into a camera offers new 3D sensing solutions in the Internet of things (IoT) technologies. The camera simultaneously captures multiple images at different focal depths. The images are used to reconstruct 3D object configurations by a neural network algorithm for real-time 3D motion tracking.
The imaging system exploits the advantages of transparent,
Highway and road accidents occur frequently everywhere due to a number of different reasons. But the most common reason is overtaking with high speeds. Many times very heavy trucks, trailers, containers, Volvo buses move with steady speed.
