VISION 2016: Teledyne Dalsa LWIR, Polarization and CMOS TDI Color Line Scan

Teledyne Dalsa, a Teledyne Technologies company will showcase its newest innovations in Hall 1E, booth 62 at VISION, 8 to 10 November, 2016 at Messe Stuttgart. 

Uncooled LWIR shutterless camera platform

Teledyne DALSA will showcase its small, low-power, LWIR camera platform, Calibir. This microbolometer-based platform covers wavelengths from 8-14 µm and supports a variety of camera interfaces, lenses and

state of the art on-board processing features. Light weight and shutterless, Calibir features radiometric performance, providing temperature data to inform critical decision-making across a growing number of applications. Easy-to-use development tools allow users to quickly create an operator interface or integrate with factory systems and industrial robots. See Calibir in a working demo at the Teledyne DALSA booth.

The Industry’s first color CMOS TDI camera

The new Piranha XL Color line scan cameras are built around Teledyne DALSA’s advanced multiline CMOS TDI color image sensor and deliver incredible color imaging with high speed, high resolution, high responsivity and low noise. 

The Piranha XL 8k Color TDI cameras deliver line rates of up to 70 kHz in full color mode using a Camera Link HS interface. Our new multiline CMOS color sensor features 4 rows for each color channel, 12 rows in total; TDI summing technology has demonstrated outstanding sensitivity and signal to noise ratio in high-speed color imaging in light-starved conditions. See a “live” demo at the Teledyne DALSA booth.

Polarization line scan camera

Teledyne DALSA’s polarization camera incorporates a CMOS image sensor with a quad linear architecture. With spatial correction, line scan polarization can detect birefringence, stress, surface roughness and physical properties like geometry and surface area, that cannot be detected with conventional imaging. In machine vision, it can be used to enhance contrast for objects that are dif­ficult to distinguish otherwise. When com­bined with phase detection, polarization imaging is much more sensitive than con­ventional imaging.
