IEEE Open Journal of the Solid-State Circuits Society Special Section on Imagers for 3D Vision

Depth perception has been and continues to be one of the fastest growing fields of research and development both in academia and industry. There is an abundance of applications requiring 3D vision, from automotive safety and self-driving vehicles to virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), from high-end imaging to proximity sensing. With the explosion of automated package handling, semi-robotic delivery, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), the need to safely and accurately reconstruct the environment in 3D is also exploding, along with more demanding requirements for 3D vision cameras in terms of resolution, precision, and speed.
