Measuring NIR Sources for Accurate 3D Sensing

The rapid adoption of 3D NIR sensing systems requires effective methods to measure the quality and performance of NIR emitters. In this article, Anne Corning of Radiant Vision Systems discusses the importance of NIR measurement in facial recognition technology, measurement challenges, and technologies that enable measurement efficiency (including imaging, wide-field-of-view optics, and structured light pattern evaluation for characterizing NIR dot patterns used in facial sensing).
