Introduction of a new camera which incorporates a NIT MAGIC CMOS sensor
One of the largest industrial camera manufacturer, IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH (www.ids-imaging.de) has announced the introduction of anew camera which incorporates a NIT MAGIC CMOS sensor.
In a move to differentiate its product range and always offer the best available technology, IDS has chosen to work closely with NIT, and has finally selected the MD1-10-B Logarithmic sensor for the design of its latest high-dynamic-range (HDR) uEye camera.
This true logarithmic sensor developed by NIT uses an array of photodiodes operated in photovoltaic mode. In most logarithmic imager designs, linear photo current passes through a MOS transistor whose exponential characteristic transforms the photo current into a logarithmic-like voltage output signal. In NIT’s MAGIC approach, the array of photodiodes is operated in photovoltaic mode and the open-circuit voltage across the p/n junction is proportional to the exact and pure logarithmic value of the incident light intensity.
IDS used the NIT imager for machine-vision camera applications.NIT also provides the MCD1-10-BW, an analog camera module that uses the HDR imager.
The MCD1-10-BW modules are equipped with the MD1-10-B Log sensor which provides extraordinary dynamic range performance greater than 120 dB. MD1-10-B provides a pure logarithmic response without noticeable fixed pattern noise.
In addition to the extraordinary wide dynamic range, the MD1-10-B from NIT is immune to light variations, which occurs in typical outdoor sceneries.
