Teledyne e2v’s Emerald 2 sensor for machine vision applications

Teledyne e2v says its Emerald 2M sensor helps to lower the cost of a full HD camera system as it is compatible with low-cost 1/3” optics. The CMOS image sensor is optimised for machine vision applications and includes 5° chief ray angle compensation, the company adds. According to Teledyne, Emerald 2M’s global shutter and MIPI CSI-2 interface allow it to utilise image signal processors available for mobile applications.

Teledyne e2v says its Emerald 2M sensor helps to lower the cost of a full HD camera system as it is compatible with low-cost 1/3” optics.

The CMOS image sensor is optimised for machine vision applications and includes 5° chief ray angle compensation, the company adds.

According to Teledyne, Emerald 2M’s global shutter and MIPI CSI-2 interface allow it to utilise image signal processors available for mobile applications.

The sensor comes with digital functionalities such as multi region of interest, subsampling, auto exposure at first frame, single frame high dynamic range and on-chip statistics to help reduce processor load.

    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

    The US Department of Transportation's (US DOT) Dynamic Mobility Applications program is exploring the future possibilities for connected vehicles where cars, trucks, buses, the roadside, and smartphones will talk to each other. They will share valuable safety, mobility, and environmental information over a wireless communications network that is already connecting and transforming transportation systems. Such a system of “connected vehicles,” mobile devices, and roads will provide a wealth of transportation
