Introducing the high-precision camera sensor "DVX plorer" for machine vision

The high-precision camera sensor "DVXplorer" from iniVation (Switzerland), which is posted on the Unipos website, has received the red dot design award, one of the world's three major design awards. I would like to introduce it.

The Red Dot Design Award is one of the world's largest internationally recognized and prestigious design competitions.

* About patented technology

Instead of sending all the data in a high definition image unnecessarily at a fixed frame rate as in the past, only when some movement occurs in the scene, only the data of the pixel level changes caused by it. It is a technology that I tried to send.A unique combination of hardware (sensors) and software enables an efficient and high-performance vision system.

The DVXplorer camera technology was partly co-developed with Samsung Electronics.

Sensor

Sensor with unique neuromorphic technology that acts like the human retina

Major features

  • High speed and low latency 1ms or less
  • Dynamic range 120 dB or more
  • Reduced data rate (bandwidth savings)
  • Low power consumption (up to 90% reduction)
  • Existing lenses can be used

 

DV software

User-friendly neuromorphic event-based visual processing engine

Major features

  • No programming required
  • Real-time development (processing while visualizing)
  • Utilization of component library (development is also possible)
  • Cross-platform (Windows / Linux / MacOS / From IoT to Server)
  • Interface to Python, C ++, ROS
  • Backend or open source license

 

About the application

Expected to be used in fields such as monitoring and ambient sensing, high-speed robots, FA applications (factory automation), microscopy, motion analysis (humans and animals), fluid mechanics, sleep research, chronobiology, fluorescence imaging, and particle tracking. I am.
