Lucid Imaginative and prescient Labs launched its Helios2+ 3D Time of Flight (ToF) digicam for $1,745. That is an upgraded model of the Helios2 ToF digicam and provides two new on-camera depth processing modes: Excessive Dynamic Vary Mode (HDR) and Excessive-Pace Mode.
Lucid stated the HDR Mode combines a number of exposures within the part area to supply correct depth info in excessive distinction, complicated scenes, containing each excessive and low reflectivity objects. The Excessive-Pace Mode allows depth notion utilizing a single-phase measurement, permitting for sooner acquisition velocity and better body charges appropriate with transferring object notion.
The Helios2+ integrates Sony’s DepthSense IMX556PLR back-illuminated ToF picture sensor and makes use of 4 850nm VCSEL laser diodes. The digicam delivers 640 x 480 depth decision at as much as an 8.3m working distance and a body fee of 30 fps in normal mode. In Excessive-Pace Mode the Helios2+ digicam can run as much as 103 fps at 2.5m distance. Extra options embrace six completely different working distance modes, an built-in ambient gentle filter, a wider FOV, multi-camera help and a flying pixels filter. On-camera processing supplies vary, depth and confidence information which reduces the necessity for costly host programs.
“By the adoption of those two new acquisition modes, the Helios2+ ToF digicam presents a brand new set of alternatives for customers growing 3D imaging programs and allows deployment in difficult environments,” stated Rod Barman, founder and president at Lucid Imaginative and prescient Labs. “Its compact kind issue, industrial reliability and enticing worth level make the Helios2+ ultimate for a lot of demanding 3D purposes corresponding to 3D inspection, automated materials dealing with and robotics to run extra effectively whereas lowering total system value.”
Lucid’s Area SDK contains controls for the Helios2+ ToF digicam. The ArenaView GUI can present the depth and depth of a scene in both a 2D view or a 3D level cloud view, which might be manipulated and oriented in real-time. Moreover, settings might be adjusted and seen in real-time, together with false coloration overlay and depth vary.
All of Lucid’s cameras conform to the GigE Imaginative and prescient 2.0 and GenICam3 requirements. The Area SDK supplies prospects with quick access to the newest business requirements and software program know-how. The SDK helps Home windows, Linux 64-bit and Linux ARM working programs, and C, C++, C# and Python programming languages.
