iniVation, a market leader in event-based Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) technology, announces the launch of its next-generation DAVIS346 sensor with USB3 interface. It features over twice the resolution and a 30% smaller, robust form factor compared with previous models. These enhancements enable fine resolution of detailed movements and solutions for industrial vision applications.
The iniVation DVS product family is the most complete solution for event-based vision. iniVation sensors are available in a range of resolutions and sizes, combined with the leading open-source event-based software library. All iniVation DVS products feature an unprecedented combination of performance characteristics to enable real-time vision in real-world, fast-moving environments:
- Sub-millisecond response time
- Ultra-high energy efficiency (>90% system-level improvement compared with conventional vision)
- Outstanding dynamic range (>100 dB)
- Simultaneous APS frame and event capture
In addition, the new DAVIS346 includes the following features:
- Small form factor (40 x 60 x 25 mm) in machined aluminium housing including multiple mounting points for standard 1/4″ and M3 screws
- Screw-in USB3 connector for improved strength and vibration resistance
- Fully isolated, robust GPIO ports for multi-camera sync
The video below introduces the concepts behind the event-based Dynamic Vision Sensor.
The DAVIS346 will be exhibited for the first time to leading solution developers and researchers at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation from 22-24 May 2018 in Brisbane, Australia. It marks the first of a new series of application-ready cameras for real-world environments, incorporating high-resolution, high-performance sensors.
iniVation (inivation.com) is a spin-off of the University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich. The team includes the inventors and pioneers of DVS technology. iniVation technology is in use at around 200 customers worldwide, across a range of industries including automotive, industrial vision and human tracking.
