Vadzo Imaging Validates Innova-1335CRA for Extreme Dynamic Range Applications
News related to:Vadzo Imaging · 2 min read
Vadzo Imaging, a global leader in embedded vision solutions, has validated the performance of its Innova-1335CRA 13MP Autofocus GigE Camera. The camera, built around the Onsemi AR1335 sensor, integrates Interleaved HDR and VCM autofocus over GigE Vision, making it ideal for machine vision inspection, robotics, and outdoor traffic monitoring applications.
The Innova-1335CRA addresses the challenges posed by extreme dynamic range scenes, where subjects are often illuminated by both bright highlights and deep shadows within the same frame. Unlike traditional multi-frame HDR techniques, the camera captures multiple exposure levels within a single frame, ensuring genuine dynamic range without introducing motion artifacts. This capability is particularly valuable in scenarios where subjects move during the capture process.
According to Vadzo Imaging's Product Manager, Alwin Vincent, "The AR1335's Interleaved HDR gives the Innova-1335CRA genuine extreme dynamic range from a single frame readout, avoiding the motion artifact entirely. We built this camera for scenes with both extreme lighting contrast and genuine motion, not a static bench test."
The camera's VCM autofocus further enhances its flexibility, allowing it to maintain accurate focus across varying working distances. This is crucial for applications that require detailed inspection of subjects at different distances, such as outdoor traffic monitoring or robotic end effector tasks.
Innova-1335CRA also benefits from GigE Vision connectivity, which integrates the camera seamlessly into existing GenICam-compliant software environments. This ensures that the camera can be deployed across multiple verticals, including machine vision stations, robotic end effectors, and outdoor traffic poles, without requiring custom hardware modifications.
Key specifications of the Innova-1335CRA include: - 13MP (4208 x 3120, 4K) max resolution - Onsemi AR1335, 1/3.2-inch sensor format with 1.1 µm pixel size - Color, rolling shutter with iHDR - GigE interface - VCM-based autofocus with a focus range of 100mm to infinity
Vadzo Imaging claims that the Innova-1335CRA is well-suited for applications where traditional multi-frame HDR cameras struggle due to motion artifacts. Its ability to handle extreme dynamic range and maintain focus across varying distances makes it a valuable tool for industries that rely on high-precision imaging and robust performance under challenging conditions.
The company states that the camera's design addresses the needs of machine vision inspection, robotics, and outdoor traffic monitoring by providing reliable and consistent performance in environments with high contrast lighting and genuine motion. This makes the Innova-1335CRA a compelling solution for manufacturers and integrators looking to enhance their vision systems with advanced dynamic range and focus capabilities.
