Canon Industrial CMOS Sensors with Global Shutter

03.10.2018

Automation, robotics and AI platforms require new machine vision solutions. In particular, image sensors must support the global shutter function to avoid distortion when capturing fast moving objects. The global shutter function is no longer a luxury and has become a necessity.

The Japanese company Canon has announced that from October 5 will begin shipping two modifications of 3-megapixel CMOS sensors with global shutter support. The 5U3MGXSMAA sensors are monochrome filter solutions, while the 5U3,4MGXSCAA sensors support color (RGB) image capture. The pixel dimensions are the same in each case and are 2562 µm horizontally and vertically. The effective resolution of the sensors is 2056 x 120 pixels. The shooting speed in full-frame mode reaches 8 frames per second. The sensor can be divided into XNUMX shooting sectors, which allows you to increase the frame rate for a particular zone.

Canon is confident that the new global shutter sensors will find application in production lines with automatic product quality analysis. Sensors, by the way, can change the orientation of the shooting without changing their position in space on an external command. Another use for the new sensors could be to equip drones with better cameras. Despite the global shutter function and high frame rate, sensor consumption remains low and does not require additional cooling solutions. In other words, battery power will not be an obstacle to installing cameras with Canon's new sensors on drones.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Cats only play with their owners if they want to. 25.12.2023

Domestic cats demonstrate their play activity, preferring to engage in games with their owners only at will. Having learned to analyze the behavior of more than a thousand cats, scientists from the University of Sussex have identified interesting features of cat play.

The results of the study confirm that cats do not mind interacting with their owners in a playful way, but prefer to initiate this process themselves. Understanding these subtleties of pet behavior can help owners strengthen their bond with their cats and create a more harmonious relationship.

Many animal species are known for their tendency to play with toys, but little is known about how domestic cats play. There is a stereotype that cats do not show interest in playing with their owners, preferring to have fun on their own. However, a survey of 924 owners, whose experiences covered 1154 cats, confirmed that 94 percent of cats willingly play with throwing objects.

The survey also found that 61 percent of cats begin to show interest in these games when they are kittens. Pedigree and mixed cats alike are attracted to play by bringing in various items such as toys, hair ties, crumpled paper and bottle caps.

Scientists emphasize that the idea that cats could be taught these games by dogs has not been confirmed. It turned out that only 23 percent of the cats in the survey live in homes with dogs. Interestingly, cats initiate and complete play, being more active on the day they decide to bring toys to their owners. Thus, scientists conclude that cats are ready to play with their owners, but only if they themselves want to do so.

It is emphasized that attention to such signals can strengthen the relationship between cats and their owners.
