The 5-MP Phoenix polarization camera from Lucid Vision Labs Inc. features Sony’s IMX250MZR CMOS polarized sensor.
The 5-MP global shutter sensor with a pixel size of 3.45 μm and frame rates of up to 24 fps is based on the IMX250 Sony Pregius CMOS mono sensor with polarizing filter added to the pixel. The sensor has four different directional polarizing filters on every four pixels. The Phoenix camera performs on-camera processing using the four directional filters and outputs both the intensity and polarized angle of each image pixel.
Polarization imaging can be used to detect stress or defects in manufacturing of materials, such as plastic, glass and carbon fiber. With the help of polarization cameras, many material properties that were impossible to identify with conventional RGB sensors can now be easily acquired. Polarization imaging can be a cost-effective way to solve imaging challenges and uncover hidden material properties to better perform inspection and classification in industrial applications.
