The Perseverance rover contains 19 cameras, including seven scientific instruments. It will analyse the climate and geology of Mars, looking for signs of past life, as well as monitoring the Martian atmosphere
Lynred sees 3D stacking technology as key to enabling superior designs in future infrared detectors
Newsight's NSI3000 line sensor and NSI1000 area sensor have successfully passed Jinoid's evaluation, and the first batch of a thousand chips has been provided and assembled
The sensors boast a pixel pitch of 5μm thanks to Sony's stacking technology using a copper-to-copper connection. They also deliver high quantum efficiency even in the visible range
InGaAs and event-based sensors still rely on silicon CMOS readout ICs
Greg Blackman explores the work being done on InGaAs sensors, along with other types of novel sensor that could find their way into the machine vision market
Image from the event-based sensor
Sony and Prophesee have developed a stacked event-based vision sensor, it was announced at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco
The Moon landing was 50 years old in 2019. Zeiss lenses were used to capture this image
The last year has been one of consolidation for the machine vision industry, along with a slowdown in the markets that machine vision serves
The OV6948 sensor, measuring 0.575 x 0.575mm, is designed for medical imagers, including reusable medical imaging equipment
Imec says the new production method promises an order of magnitude gain in fabrication throughput and cost compared to processing conventional infrared imagers
Advances in sensors that capture images like real eyes, plus in the software and hardware to process them, are bringing a paradigm shift in imaging, finds Andrei Mihai
