We covered the camera system used in the Sphere Entertainment dome only recently, and it already has a rival...

Innodisk’s EV2U-SGR1 Camera Module revolutionizes smart parking management by offering high-quality image capturing for smart parking meters. This allows the advantage for smart parking meters to replace traditional manual enforcement methods, providing a convenient solution with features like automatic license plate recognition and real-time monitoring. This not only optimizes space usage and enhances efficiency but also relieves the burden of ...

Ambarella has announced a pair of 5nm AI camera processors for  in-vehicle fleet telematics. “CV75AX provides up to 2x the AI performance over Ambarella’s prior-generation SoC, enabling the latest transformer neural networks for improved accuracy and reduced false positives without having to train for every object. [It] also provides the AI horsepower for more complex driver-scoring models,” according to the ...

For Nvidia Jetson Orin system-on-modules, E-con Systems has created a rugged waterproof camera aimed at autonomous mobility applications such as delivery robots and agriculture vehicles. SturdeCam31 is a 3Mpixel camera built around Sony’s ISX031 sensor. “Leveraging Sony’s sub-pixel HDR technology, SturdeCam31 has been tuned to provide HDR performance up to 120dB and LFM [LED flicker mitigation], thereby providing a solution ...

IDS has adopted Onsemi’s 20Mpixel AR2020 image sensor for an industrial camera called uEye+ XCP. It has 5,136 x 3,856 pixels, a USB3 interface and a closed housing measuring 29 x 29 x 17mm that includes a mechanical interface for C-mount lenses. “With the rolling shutter sensor AR2020 [is] the technical successor of the Onsemi AR1820,” said IDS. “With 20Mpixel, ...

Aiming at robots in complex environments, Orbbec has created a rugged industrial RGB + depth camera that streams processed images in real-time. Built inside an IP65 enclosure, ‘Femto Mega I’ has a 1Mpixel time-of-flight sensor (but see below) plus a 120° field-of-view 4K RGB sensor, and a six degree-of-freedom inertial measurement unit. Depending on mode, depth range is from 250mm ...

German factory automation company Sick has introduced 3d inspection cameras that can measure down to 800nm. Called Ruler3002, 3004, 3010, the cameras work with fields of view down to 26.6mm. “The addition of a high-powered blue [450nm] laser enables the three cameras to achieve the rapid exposure times necessary to capture the minutest three-dimensional details,” claimed the company. They “have ...

Sony has put a 30x zoom into its latest block-style camera. Measuring 50 x 60 x 90mm, FCB-EV9520L is built around the company’s 2Mpixel Starvis 2 1/2.8in colour image sensor. It supports 1080p (HD) 60Hz and can have a 64° horizontal viewing angle. Interfacing is over LVDS. “Thanks to the cell structure employed, this camera block delivers elevated levels of ...

In a second announcement in one day at Embedded World In Nuremberg, TI revealed Arm Cortex-A72-based microcontrollers for AI and vision processing with up to 12 cameras, for building, industrial and retail automation. AM62A3 and AM62A7 (and their ..-Q1 automotive cousins) support one to two cameras (up to 5Mpixel, streaming up to 4K30frame/s) at less than 2W for doorbell cameras ...

Edinburgh-based Photon Force has added an optics option to its single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array camera to increase sensitivity. “Customers now have the option to specify microlensing for their SPAD array camera,” according to the company. “The microlenses offer an improvement of more than 10x in effective fill-factor, enhancing the sensitivity of the camera for time-resolved measurements. This works ...
