German imaging specialist 8141 Framos offers the expanded 576 Sony Pregius 8.9MP and 12.3MP high resolution sensors, the IMX253/255, IMX304/305 and IMX267, characterised by a pixel size of 3.45μm.

The 1.1-inch IMX253 with 12MP achieves 65 frames per second at a pixel depth of 10bit and supports external trigger control, up to 64 independent ROIs (regions of interest). Framos says it is suitable for industrial machine vision applications. The IMX255 8.9MP is a one-inch sensor and is 4K2K capable.

The IMX304 low-speed versions with 12MP with a sensor size of 1.1-inch and 23fps, and the IMX267 with 8.9MP with a1-inch sensor and 32fps are mainly suitable for ITS applications with a large field of vision or for slower MV applications. The IMX305, a one-inch colour sensor with 8.9MP and 64fps, is particularly suitable for 4K2K GS video applications.

According to Framos, all new Sony sensors are very low noise, and offer a high dynamic range and high quantum efficiency of more than 65 per cent.

    Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solutions says its polarised category of machine vision camera captures polarised light in four different angles. The XCG-CP510 GS CMOS camera simplifies stress inspection, contrast improvement, scratch detection, object detection, removal and enhancement from a single image capture, the company adds. The camera’s module is expected to deliver 5.1 MP polarised B/W images at 23 fps, transmitted over a GigE interface. Sony’s camera includes multiple trigger modes such as edge det

    Canadian manufacturer of high-performance digital cam­eras Point Grey has begun producing its new Blackfly cam­era, which the company says is suited to applications in open road tolling and machine vision. The first model, the BLFY-PGE-13E4, features a 1.3MP, 60fps, CMOS global shutter sensor available in both monochrome and colour, and consumes less than two watts of power in what the company claims is the world’s smallest and lightest GigE Pow­er over Ethernet (PoE) camera package.

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:

    January 24, 2017
    Sony’s Arnaud Destruels explains the benefits of CMOS sensors for ITS applications. In the transport sector roadside, trackside and platform cameras were devices for viewing and assessing a situation while individual sensors did all the clever stuff like traffic counting, speed calculation, queue lengths, signal status and so on. Well, not any more.
