Vadzo Imaging Validates New Auto-Focus and Auto-Exposure Features in Camera

Vadzo Imaging Validates Advanced Auto-Focus and Auto-Exposure Features on 13MP Autofocus GigE Camera

BOSTON, September 3, 2026 (Newswire.com), Vadzo Imaging, a leading provider of embedded vision solutions, has validated the innovative ROI (Region of Interest) based auto-focus and auto-exposure features of its Innova-1335CRA 13MP Autofocus Gigabit Ethernet Camera. This camera, built around the Onsemi AR1335 sensor, is specifically designed for robotics vision, automated inspection, and machine vision applications that require accurate exposure and focus across complex, mixed lighting scenes.

Machine vision and inspection tasks often involve scenes with both bright and shadowed regions within the same frame. Traditional auto-exposure systems, which rely on a single global exposure setting, frequently fail to capture both regions accurately. A bright surface exposed for the global average can become overexposed, while a shadowed region may lose important detail. The Innova-1335CRA addresses this issue by defining specific regions of interest within a frame and calculating exposure independently for each region.

"This camera is designed to handle the complexities of real-world lighting conditions," said Alwin Vincent, Product Manager at Vadzo Imaging. "With ROI-based auto exposure, we ensure that each region of interest gets the correct exposure, regardless of the lighting conditions."

In addition to the advanced auto-exposure capabilities, the Innova-1335CRA incorporates VCM (Voice Coil Motor) autofocus. This feature allows the camera to adjust focus dynamically as a robotic platform or inspection station examines parts at varying distances. The combination of region-specific exposure and autofocus ensures that the camera can maintain high-quality images across a range of working distances.

The Onsemi AR1335 sensor forms the core of the Innova-1335CRA. This 13-megapixel sensor is optimized for machine vision and robotics applications that require detailed and accurate image capture. The sensor’s rolling shutter technology and 1.1 µm pixel size contribute to its ability to handle complex lighting scenarios effectively.

"The Innova-1335CRA is built to solve the challenges of modern machine vision tasks," explained Vincent. "By integrating both region-specific exposure and autofocus into a single sensor platform, we provide a solution that can handle varying working distances and complex lighting conditions without compromise."

GigE Vision connectivity further enhances the Innova-1335CRA’s capabilities. The camera integrates directly with GenICam-compliant software, making it easily deployable across existing machine vision networks. The camera’s compact design ensures it can fit into the tight spaces required by robotic end effectors and inspection station mounting positions.

Key specifications of the Innova-1335CRA include a 13MP (4208 × 3120) maximum resolution, a 1/3.2-inch sensor format, and a 100mm to infinity focus range. The camera’s ability to handle varying working distances and complex lighting scenarios makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from automated inspection to robotics vision.

"We designed the Innova-1335CRA to meet the specific needs of machine vision tasks that demand accurate and consistent image capture," concluded Vincent. "Our goal is to provide a reliable and flexible solution that can handle the complexities of real-world inspection lines."

The Innova-1335CRA is a versatile solution that combines advanced features to provide accurate exposure and focus for demanding inspection tasks. Its region-specific exposure and VCM autofocus capabilities make it a valuable addition to any machine vision system, ensuring reliable performance across a range of applications.
