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 […]
Collaboration results in advanced MIPI camera modules
Innodisk announced its cooperation with Advantech. This collaboration leverages Innodisk’s customizable MIPI camera modules and Advantech’s Intel x86-based AFE-R360 solution to enhance AI-powered object detection and recognition capabilities, expanding visual applications for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in smart factories, warehouses, and retail environments. Advantech’s AFE-R360, designed for AMRs, is built on the Intel Meteor Lake-H/U […]
FLIR IIS Dragonfly S camera now in full production
Teledyne FLIR IIS announces that its Dragonfly S USB 5MP modular and compact camera is now in full production. The Dragonfly S 5MP is the first camera in the new Dragonfly S series to enter full production. Designed as an entry point for machine vision applications, the Dragonfly S streamlines the rapid prototyping of imaging […]
Integrated industrial cameras for underwater mapping applications
Up-to-date and accurate maps of the waterways are a prerequisite for safe and efficient shipping in Germany. Authorities such as the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, but also private harbor operators, are obliged to provide these in an up-to-date form at all times. The main reason for this is to avoid accidents caused by an […]
uEye ACP series provides added customization options for board-level cameras
As versatile as the IDS industrial camera families are, sometimes customer requirements are so particular that a customized development would be desirable. However, this often only makes sense for larger quantities. For this reason, the company has developed the uEye ACP series: its modular design principle allows for a vast range of camera variants. The […]
Compact image sensor for eye and face tracing in AR/VR applications
OMNIVISION has announced the new OG0TC BSI global shutter (GS) image sensor for eye and face tracking in AR/VR/MR consumer headsets and glasses. This release marks the introduction of OMNIVISION’s patented DCG high dynamic range (HDR) technology to the AR/VR/MR market in the 2.2-micron (µm) pixel OG0TC GS image sensor. The OG0TC has a package […]
What increases a robot’s security capabilities?
The thalamus provides a relay station for the body’s motor functions and sensory inputs. It enables the control of the flow of sensory-motor information to the cerebral cortex. This control occurs during sleep, wakefulness, consciousness, learning, and memory. The sensory information processed includes hearing, taste, sight, and touch—but not smell. Recognizing this essential control over […]
How do sensing, drones, and AI improve crop growth?
Successfully growing high-value crops such as fruit (citrus, apples, grapes, cherries, kiwis, table grapes, pomegranates, and more) and nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios, and more) requires farmers’ continuous attention. If a problem is not detected, the crop yield could be significantly reduced. Sensors provide the foundation and play an essential role in the evolving detection processes. […]
Image sensors offer enhanced low-light performance and high sensitivity
OMNIVISION announced the addition of two new image sensors for industrial and consumer security surveillance cameras. The new OS04J10 is a 4-megapixel image sensor featuring a large 2.9µm backside illuminated (BSI) pixel with PureCelPlus and Nyxel technology, designed for ultra-low-light conditions. The OS05L10 is a 5MP frontside illumination (FSI) image sensor with a 2.0-micron pixel […]
