Teledyne e2v says its CMOS sensor for barcode reading offers improved performance for handheld, mobile or fixed reads and automatic identification cameras.

Called Snappy 2MP, the solution combines high definition resolution, a 2.8μm low-noise global shutter and features which are intended to provide fast and economic decoding.

According to Teledyne e2v, the sensor allows scanning platforms to offer enhanced productivity and throughput in logistics, sorting and retail point of sale.

Snappy 2MP’s features are also expected to assist other applications such as drones, Internet of Things edge devices and intelligent surveillance cameras.

Gareth Powell, marketing manager at Teledyne e2v, says the solution features a fast-exposure mode, which ensures the first image frame is correctly exposed to enable identification and decoding by the image processing system, even in changing light conditions.

Snappy 2MP also comes with single- and multi-return on investment modes for tracking simultaneous image regions and high dynamic range modes for wide dynamic scenes.
