Image sensors offer 106dB shutter efficiency for industrial applications
OMNIVISION has introduced three new back-side illuminated (BSI) global shutter (GS) image sensors. These sensors are designed for machine vision applications such as industrial automation, robotics, logistics barcode scanners, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The new GS image sensors feature a 3.45-micron (µm) BSI pixel, which offers high sensitivity, efficient shutter performance, and strong low-light capabilities. This […]
What sensors are in a digit?
In this case, the digit is a finger. Advanced robots designed to interact on a personal level with humans will need hands that can sense a variety of interactions. Several sensing techniques could be employed to achieve the right level of dexterity and avoid excessive force — some simultaneously and far less for specific applications. Getting the […]
2D cameras for positioning and inspecting ultra-fine wires in semiconductor production
Wire bonding is a key process in semiconductor production. Extremely fine wires with diameters of 15 to 75 micrometers are used to create tiny electrical connections between a semiconductor chip and other components. The distances between the bond wires are often less than 100 micrometers. Any deviation, however small, can lead to connection errors. Wire […]
Image sensor enhances low-light performance and HDR capabilities
OMNIVISION has introduced the OV50M40, the latest addition to its mobile product portfolio. The OV50M40 is a versatile 50-megapixel (MP) CMOS image sensor with a 0.61-micron (µm) pixel size, designed to enhance front, main, ultra-wide, and telephoto cameras in smartphones. The OV50M40 image sensor supports both staggered HDR and dual analog gain (DAG) HDR technology. […]
Teledyne FLIR IIS launches Forge 1GigE SWIR camera series
Teledyne FLIR IIS is pleased to introduce the Forge 1GigE SWIR (Short Wave Infrared) 1.3 MP camera. The first camera in the Forge 1GigE SWIR series is equipped with a wide-band and high-sensitivity Sony SenSWIR 1.3 MP IMX990 InGaAs sensor. The advanced sensor captures images across both visible light and SWIR light spectrums (VisSWIR) with […]
Stereo vision camera provides 3D information from 20 centimeters away
IDS Imaging Development Systems introduces a new 3D camera in the Ensenso product line. With its compact, industrial-grade design and the combination of a very short working distance and a large field of view, the Ensenso B is particularly suitable for bin-picking applications. Thanks to its high depth of field, it is able to capture […]
What really counts?
Sesame Street’s Count von Count loves to count things. However, depending on what needs to be counted, there are a variety of different techniques. Is it people, objects, steps, or? Counting people Turnstiles are commonly seen at events, fairgrounds, stadiums, arenas, amusement parks, or anywhere pedestrian counting and/or pedestrian crowd control is required. The simplest […]
