Latest Sony sensors for Matrix Vision cameras

Matrix Vision is to incorporate Sony’s forthcoming global shutter CMOS sensors, the 1/1.8-inch IMX250 and 2/3-inch IMX252, into its mvBlueCOUGAR-XD Dual-GigE and mvBlueFOX3-2 USB3 Vision camera ranges. Initially the 3.2 megapixel IMX252 will be available as the mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104h and mvBlueFOX3-2032, with the 5.1 megapixel IMX250 (mvBlueCOUGAR-XD105a and) mvBlueFOX3-2051 models available early next year.

7792 Matrix Vision is to incorporate 576 Sony’s forthcoming global shutter CMOS sensors, the 1/1.8-inch IMX250 and 2/3-inch IMX252, into its mvBlueCOUGAR-XD Dual-GigE and mvBlueFOX3-2 USB3 Vision camera ranges. Initially the 3.2 megapixel IMX252 will be available as the mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104h and mvBlueFOX3-2032, with the 5.1 megapixel IMX250 (mvBlueCOUGAR-XD105a and) mvBlueFOX3-2051 models available early next year.

The pixel size in both sensors has been reduced to 3.45 µm and when used in conjunction with C-mount lenses, the increased pixel density provides higher resolution images when compared with the IMX174 and IMX249 sensors. Decreased image noise keeps the dynamic range at levels above 71dB for improved image quality, higher resolution and an increased image refresh rate.

A lower frame rate version, promised by SONY, will follow in the mvBlueCOUGAR-X and mvBlueFOX3-2 models.

    One of the biggest problems facing US ITS professionals, says Georgia DOT's Hugh Colton, is the constrained thinking which is sometimes forced upon those making procurement decisions. It is time, he says, to look again at how we do things. In the November/December 2010 edition of this journal, Pete Goldin interviewed Joseph Sussman, chairman of the US's ITS Program Advisory Committee. Amongst other observations that Sussman made was that, technologically, ITS in the US is 10 years behind that in the world-l

    Lucid Vision Labs says its Triton cameras come with an optional IP67 sealed lens tube which allows them to operate in harsh environments without needing bulky enclosures. It comes with active sensor alignment to improve optical performance and a lightweight 29 x 29 mm size. Triton’s M12 Ethernet and M8 I/O connectors provide a robust connection, which is resistant to shock and vibration and is protected from dirt, dust, and water. According to Lucid, all cameras are actively aligned to help minimise

  • Faster more flexible ANPR from Imagsa
    November 22, 2012
    Imagsa’s latest Atalaya automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera is more flexible and has more processing power, thanks to the company’s proprietary FPGA processor coupled to a CMOS sensor which allows the camera to operate at 270 frames per second. Although Imagsa say this isn’t necessarily needed for ANPR, the camera works under any conditions and at this frame rate can accurately detect a vehicle ten times in three metres at speeds of up to 250 km/h, even in heavy rain or in direct sunlight.
