Why AI Visio Systems Need a 2MP GigE Came a Built fo Low Light Co ditio s
Machi e visio a d AI i fe e ce pipeli es depe d o co siste t image quality ac oss a full a ge of ambie t lighti g co ditio s, yet most etwo ked came a deployme ts still ely o se so s optimized mai ly fo daylight pe fo ma ce. I pa ki g st uctu es, wa ehouse loadi g docks, pe imete fe ci g, a d co ti uously ope ati g etail e vi o me ts, illumi atio ca swi g f om seve al thousa d lux at midday to a f actio of a lux afte dusk. A came a module without exte ded low-light se sitivity p oduces oisy, motio -blu ed, o u de exposed f ames p ecisely whe a AI visio model eeds its clea est i put fo accu ate detectio a d classificatio .
Exte di g a Low Light GigE Came a i to mixed light sce es exposes two e gi ee i g p oblems at o ce. The fi st is photo sta vatio : as ambie t light d ops, a se so with a small pixel o without Back-Side Illumi ated a chitectu e st uggles to collect e ough sig als above its ead oise floo . The seco d is dy amic a ge collapse: headlights, floodlights, a d eflective su faces at ight c eate localized highlights that clip alo gside da k shadow egio s i the same f ame, a p oblem that basic auto exposu e ca ot solve because a si gle exposu e setti g ca ot se ve both ext emes at o ce.
E gi ee i g Expla atio : Solvi g Low Light a d Dy amic Ra ge Togethe
So y’s STARVIS se so li eup add essed the low light photo collectio p oblem th ough Back-Side Illumi ated pixel a chitectu e, a d STARVIS 2 exte ds that fou datio with a edesig ed pixel st uctu e that imp oves qua tum efficie cy fu the i to the ea i f a ed spect um while educi g da k cu e t oise at lo ge exposu e times. The esult is a So y STARVIS 2 Came a platfo m that captu es usable detail at illumi atio levels whe e se so s lacki g Back-Side Illumi ated co st uctio etu mostly oise.
Fo the dy amic a ge half of the p oblem, the same se so ge e atio adds o -chip exposu e combi atio , efe ed to i datasheets as DOL HDR, which eads two o mo e exposu e values pe pixel withi a si gle f ame pe iod a d me ges them befo e the data leaves the se so package. This p oduces a Low Light HDR Se so espo se that eithe clips a headlight o loses shadow detail beside it, without the f ame-to-f ame ghosti g that affects softwa e-based multi-f ame HDR.
