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. […]

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 […]
What role does sensing play in reducing potholes?
In the distant past, the “eye in the sky” was a radio report on local traffic, especially during rush hour, provided by a reporter/observer and based on their observations from a helicopter or low-flying aircraft. For real-time radio reports, sensing was not necessary. Evolving into TV reporting and planning before departing for work (long before […]
Intelligent industrial camera with 4K streaming
IDS expands its product line for intelligent image processing and launches a new IDS NXT malibu camera. It enables AI-based image processing, video compression, and streaming in full 4K sensor resolution at 30 fps – directly in and out of the camera. The 8 MP sensor IMX678 is part of the Starvis 2 series from […]
