A partnership culture for innovation Within the framework of the technological development of its products dedicated to imaging,i2S is constantly looking for innovation in both areas of lighting,optics,image processing and embedded electronics. In recent years,i2S has developed numerous research agreements with academic partners to provide products and the most innovative solutions to our customers. Driven by this culture of partnership i2S and OPCL(Organic Polymer Chemistry Laboratory) won a call for the National Research Agency (ANR) project for the creation of a joint laboratory PLIIS: Polymers Laboratory for Innovative Imaging solutions that aims to develop innovative technologies based on organic electronics for the imagining field. PLIIS: ambitious goals This joint laboratory will work for a minimum of three years to bring out the new technologies,among others,to increase the image quality and the sensors resolution,exploring electro-optical properties of organic polymers. The identified axes of work of this LabCom will have direct market outlets for i2S markets and customers. This joint laboratory will benefit the entire OPCL infrastructure including the ELORPrintTec platform,a complete single chain in Europe dedicated to the printing of organic electronic components,financed for the future investments,the Aquitaine and Arkema Region as part of EquipEx (Excellence Equipment).

3D image processing is a hot topic. The number of applications that require 3D images is increasing constantly. 3D viewing and 3D cameras are used in applications such as automated processes that use robots in factories or warehouses, or for inspecting surfaces or measuring volumes. With the development of its first 3D video camera, Time-of-Flight (ToF), our partner, Basler, opens new horizons thanks to the possibilities of the third dimension. The Basler ToF camera works on the time-of-flight principle, which is based on measuring the time required for light to travel from the light source to the object and to return from the object to the camera. With a VGA resolution, the Basler ToF camera is the first high-resolution ToF camera to reach the market, and, as is typically the case with Basler, it offers a highly attractive price/performance ratio. With a field of vision that ranges from 0.5 to 5 meters and accuracy of approximately 1 cm, a frame rate of 15 images per second, and a proven GigE interface already used in industry, the new Basler ToF camera is the ideal solution for a wide variety of 3D viewing applications, including industrial automation, logistics, and the medical sector. Would you like to simplify your applications while reducing complexity and the overall cost of your systems? OVERVIEW Time-of-flight cameras for measuring 3D shapes and volumes Basler offers a time-of-flight (ToF) camera that uses pulses of light with a standard machine vision interface and features that make it quick and easy to develop applications for measuring 3D shapes and volumes. The Basler ToF camera is equipped with a high-power,...
Why terahertz imaging? Today, the need for high-performance tools in numerous fields of application provides an ideal opportunity for terahertz imaging technologies, a wavelength being located in between microvawes and infrareds. With in the emerging market i2S has integrated an innovative sensor from the CEA-LETI into a camera, the TZCAM to address the markets of Non destructive testing and medical applications. The TZCAM camera integrates a 320×240 Microbolometric Detector designed by the CEA-LETI. The technology embedded into this sensor is proprietary to the CEA-LETI and sets a new worldwide reference in terms of performances. i2S has developed a dedicate imaging electronic for this sensor with dedicated signal processing The CEA/i2S solution is the best camera on the market in terms of sensitivity and acquisition performance. Compared to its competitors, it is a a piece of electronic equipment with a very low signal to noise ratio, the better to obtain the most precise dynamics. Aujourd’hui, la nécessité d’outils de haute performance dans de nombreux champs applicatifs est une occasion idéale pour les technologies de l’imagerie Térahertz, une gamme spectrale située entre les ondes radio et le rayonnement infrarouge. Ainsi, i2S a intégré le capteur du CEA-Leti dans une caméra Térahertz TZ_CAM pour adresser le marché de l’imagerie du contrôle non destructif et du médical. La caméra TZ_CAM intègre le capteur matriciel de 320×240 pixels bolométriques du CEA-Leti, une technologie innovante propriétaire du CEA-Leti reconnue comme étant à l’état de l’art international. i2S a développé son électronique avec une optimisation forte du rapport signal sur bruit afin d’obtenir les dynamiques les plus fines, permettant d’assurer une sensibilité et des performances d’acquisition au meilleur niveau...
Like digital cameras and mobile phones, industrial cameras dedicated to machine vision integrate captors for which the number of pixels has continued to increase over several years. Although the often mediocre quality of the optical devices on consumer products has no serious consequence, the quality of the lenses used in industrial control applications must be optimal and allow for the real use of the millions of available pixels. With industrial cameras that easily exceed 5 million pixels and which even reach tens of millions of pixels today, the choice of lens has become a sensitive one. To achieve a good image, and thus a sharp image, it is important to choose not only a good camera but also the lens that suits it. Choosing a lens depends on many factors: the scope of the scene to be inspected, the distance between the camera and the sc ene, the size of the shot, the type of mount, the depth of field, the illumination of the scene, the spectral range, the resolution, and many others. Our purpose here is to focus on the key factors that will assist in choosing the lens with a resolution in line with that of the camera.
