High-efficiency video coding compression processor at CES
OmniVision Technologies has announced in advance of CES the OA805, a video processor that supports high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) compression with the lowest power consumption in the industry. The interest in HEVC (also known as H.265) for IoT-enabled home security devices is growing rapidly.
Megapixel automotive image sensors with LED flicker mitigation
OmniVision Technologies has announced the first two members of its new automotive image sensor platform, the 8MP, front-view OX08A and OX08B. The high-resolution OX08A utilises a HDR, while the pinout-compatible OX08B adds high quality LED flicker mitigation (LFM) performance, enabled by the sensor’s on-chip HALE (HDR and LFM engine) combination algorithm.
Lightguide-integrated sensor for improved optical performance
OmniVision Technologies has announced the OV7251-2B global shutter image sensor, which provides shutter efficiency of 99.96% for machine vision applications that need crisp captures of objects in motion to avoid inaccurate decisions. Additionally, these applications typically operate in difficult lighting conditions.
OmniVision receives Guinness World Record for small image sensor
OmniVision has announced from MD&M Minneapolis that its OV6948 is the winner of the Guinness World Record for 'The Smallest Image Sensor Commercially Available' with its size of 0.575x0.575mm. Derived from this ultra small imager, the company also announced its OVM6948 CameraCubeChip - a fully packaged, wafer-level camera module measuring 0.65x0.65mm, with a z-height of just 1.158mm.
Automotive SoC offers high low-light performance for cameras
OmniVision Technologies has announced from the AutoSens conference its 1.3MP OX01F10 SoC, providing automotive designers with excellent imaging performance across a wide range of challenging lighting conditions, along with the most compact form factor and lowest power consumption.
Automotive image sensor fusion technologies improved quality
OmniVision has combined OmniVision’s OX03A1Y image sensor with the Arm Mali-C71 image signal processor (ISP) for a dual-mode automotive camera module. OmniVision’s sensor features quality across all lighting conditions for rear and surround view cameras, as well as a broad range of machine vision applications for ADAS and autonomous driving platforms.
Image sensor tiny BSI global shutter pixel
OmniVision Technologies has announced what they believe to be the smallest-ever pixel size of 2.2μm for a backside-illuminated (BSI), global shutter (GS) image sensor.
