Video camera technology is rapidly evolving; more people than ever are using compact mobile devices such as camera phones and pocket camcorders to record and share video imagery. Mobile device users face multiple challenges in recording quality video: one is the difficulty in getting a stable video image from a small handheld device held at arm’s length. Another is ensuring the best possible image quality of the faces of the people being filmed.
 
DigitalOptics Corporation™ (DOC) OptiML Video Tools provide optimized video image stabilization and video face beautification capabilities for mobile devices such as camera phones, pocket camcorders and digital still cameras.

Superior Performance with OptiML Micro-Optics 

OptiML DOEs are manufactured using high resolution lithographic techniques in combination with precision glass-etching. Using advanced Deep UV (DUV) tools enables DOC to provide its customers with customized, high-efficiency quality patterns of smaller features and tight overlay. The patterns are ideal for narrow spectrum optical systems, such as optical communication, gesture recognition, defense & security, biomedical applications and off-axis illumination elements.
OptiML ROEs, also manufactured using DOC's wafer-based lithographic technology, provide unmatched cost advantages for volume applications. Lenses can be formed on both the front and back surfaces and combined with state-of-the-art diffractive elements, mirrors, coatings, etc., to enable a high density of functionality through compact component integration. Applications include collimating lenses, aspheric lenses for IR imaging, and transceivers for optical communications.

OptiML IMOS products enable the seamless integration of wafer-level optics with active and passive devices including lasers, VCSELs, sensors, apertures and filters. Combining elements at the wafer level or die level enables significant size reduction, cost savings and improved performance. The functionality and versatility of OptiML IMOS make high-performance solutions possible in a wide range of applications, including gesture control, optical communications, machine vision and medical applications.
