541 Point Grey has announced the addition of new 3.2 and 5 MP CMOS models to its Grasshopper3 USB3 Vision camera line.

The latest Grasshopper3 models feature 576 Sony’s second generation Pregius global shutter CMOS sensors. The IMX250 and IMX252 sensors have smaller pixels (3.45µm) and lower temporal dark noise.

The GS3-U3-32S4M-C uses Sony’s monochrome 1/1.8” IMX252 global shutter CMOS sensor with 2048 x 1536 resolution and runs at 121 FPS while the 51S5M-C model uses the 2/3” monochrome Sony IMX250 global shutter CMOS sensor with 2448 x 2048 resolution and runs at 75 FPS. Colour models are expected shortly.

    The continuing, favourable performance-versus-cost situation concerning detection and monitoring technologies is driving the proliferation of intelligence across road networks. The effective and safe management of intersections is a focus for network operators and systems manufacturers alike. The most complicated of road environments, and statistically among the least safe, intersections enjoy particular emphasis in longer-term work on cooperative infrastructure solutions. However there are current developm

    The world’s ageing population requires more attention to be paid to the needs of older, and sometimes not that old, drivers – particularly when it comes to lighting. For instance the minimum amount of light a person needs to see doubles every decade after they are 25, so a 75-year old may need 32 times the illumination level as somebody a third of their age. It would seem logical that street lighting and car designers would consider their work from other road users’ point of view but empirical evidence appe
