Vision Components to present VC MIPI IMX454 Multispectral Camera Module at Photonics West

Vision Components will present its new VC MIPI IMX454 Camera Module at SPIE Photonics West, 20-22 January in San Francisco, California. The MIPI Camera features Sony’s new multispectral image sensor IMX454 and enables to capture up to 41 wavelength in one shot. VC will also showcase its lineup of 50+ industrial-grade VC MIPI® Cameras, as well as the new VC MIPI® Multiview Cam. This camera array with nine image sensors is also suitable for custom multispectral imaging and can be connected to a processor board via a single MIPI CSI-2 interface. All MIPI products are perfectly aligned with the VC MIPI® Bricks system for plug-and-play embedded vision solutions.

Ultra-compact Multispectral MIPI Camera

The VC MIPI IMX454 Camera Module combines Sony’s 2.13 Megapixel IMX454 image sensor with VC’s ultra-compact, industrial-grade design for MIPI cameras. The pixels of the image sensor are equipped with 8 types of filters for different wavelengths. Therewith, the VC MIPI IMX454 can capture 2D multispectral image data in one shot. The rolling shutter camera module features a frame rate of up to 120 frames / second at 10 bit resolution. Image data from 450 nm to 850 nm in steps of 10 nm resolution can be obtained. This enables material analysis at high resolution, for applications such as agriculture/farming, robotics, medical and environmental analysis, for quality control, classification and sorting.

VC MIPI® Multiview Cam with 9 image sensors

Another highlight is the VC MIPI® Multiview Cam. It integrates nine camera modules with OV9281 global shutter image sensor from OmniVision on a robust aluminum PCB. Depending on the configuration and filter, the nine camera modules of the VC MIPI® Multiview Cam capture objects from different angles and/or with sensitivity to different wavelength ranges, with precisely defined custom wavelength range. This enables spatial, 3D representation of objects or the high-definition analysis of surfaces and materials for spectral properties. An onboard FPGA combines the image data, so that the nine individual images are transmitted in one single MIPI CSI-2 data stream. This allows the camera array to be connected via a single MIPI interface to any standard processor board. Depending on the target application, FPGAs with different computing power can be configured, enabling even complex pre-processing. This simplifies the selection of the processor board for the end application.

Plug-and-play vision integration

All 50+ VC MIPI® Camera Modules including the new VC MIPI IMX454, the VC MIPI® Multiview Cam and further MIPI-based solutions from Vision Components are part of the VC MIPI® Bricks-Systems. This modular system enables the plug-and-play integration of embedded vision with best possible compatibility. All components in the VC portfolio are developed and manufactured in Germany, with the highest industrial quality and guaranteed long-term availability.
