New Bora 3D CMOS image sensor enables vision-guided robotics, logistics and surveillance
Teledyne e2v announces its new Bora Time-of-Flight CMOS image sensor, tailored for 3D detection and distance measurement to support the latest industrial applications, including vision guided robotics, logistics and surveillance.
Based on an innovative 10 µm pixel design and incorporating a resolution of 1280 × 1024 pixels, the Bora image sensor offers excellent sensitivity and a unique on-chip gated global shutter mode, which enables gating times of up to 42 ns.
Bora’s highly flexible design allows:
- Greater adaptability to various scenarios, with precise 3D information detection and state-of-the-art 1.3 MP depth resolution
- Scene capture with a large field-of-view in both 2D and 3D which enables cost effectiveness and system optimization, useful for static applications such as construction or architectural mapping
- Real-time 3D image capture with a depth map of over 30 fps in a four-phase operation
- Robust reliability in challenging conditions, and short- and long-range capabilities which are immune to ambient light intrusions, using a unique HDR feature
The Bora sensor comes with an evaluation kit, comprised of a compact 1-inch optical format calibrated module, which includes a light source for near infrared illumination. It also includes optics targeted at performing the Time-of-Flight principle at short-range distances to 5 m or mid-range distances to 10 m, while capturing real-time 3D information at a full resolution of 1.3 MP.
