Such resolutions have previously only existed with “rolling shutter” devices that scan one line of pixels at a time, not for “global shutter” sensors, which record an entire area in a single image. This approach is not just faster, but it often results in better results – for example, when reading moving barcodes that are distorted in rolling shutter images and therefore difficult to read.
The sensors offer a resolution 2560 x 1936 pixels – three times higher than Sensopart’s previous high-end sensor, the Visor V20. They are said to achieve an image quality that was formerly available only with expensive, complex vision systems.
Sensopart’s vision sensor packs in a lot of pixels
In many applications, one V50 can replace up to four lower-resolution vision sensors, thus cutting costs. The sensor is available in various versions configured for specific applications such as code-reading and robotics. They are available with either a black-and-white or colour chips (except for the code-reading versions)
