Description: What is Mesa's time-of-flight Swiss Ranger 4000 camera and how does it work? The Swiss Ranger 4000 provides high-resolution 3D image data in real time. The device relies on an image sensor technology capable of capturing 3D data sets (known as depth maps) in real time and is built into a single, compact, solid-state housing. At the heart of the camera is an advanced sensor technology employing the time-of-flight distance measurement principle where infrared light from the camera's internal lighting source is reflected by objects in the scene and travels back to the camera where its precise time of arrival is measured independently by each of tens of thousands of sensor pixels. Two measurement range models are available up to a distance of 10 metres. Date is output via USB 2.0 or Ethernet to a computer for visualisation, interpretation and processing. Various models are available to be matched to user needs. What is "Time-of-Flight"? back to top Time-of-Flight describes a variety of methods used to measure the time it takes for an object, particle or wave to travel a distance through a medium. This measurement can be used for a time standard, as a way to measure velocity or path length through a medium or as a way to learn about the particle or medium. What is a "Time-of-Flight" camera? back to top A time-of-flight camera is a vision system that creates distance data using the time-of-flight principle where the entire "scene" is captured with each laser or light pulse. Time-of-flight cameras are relatively recent devices for normal products as the semiconductor processes inherent in the product have only recently become fast enough for such devices. The system covers ranges from a few meters up to several kilometers, depending on the detector material being used. What advantages does Mesa's SR4000 time-of-flight camera have ? Mesa's time-of-flight-based measurements have several important advantages compared to other 3D imaging technologies, such as laser triangulation or stereoscopic vision systems: Measurements are not dependent on external reference points or presence of contrast in the surface of measured objects. Real time, video frame rate measurements independent of scanning cycles or limitations imposed by computer processing power. Scene illumination is provided by the camera, and is not dependent on illumination from external, visible light. Larger objects can be measured easily without any increase in camera base length (as with stereo vision). Camera directly delivers depth values for each pixel, without the need of complex calculation algorithms. This results in faster, less computation intensive systems and allows for direct integration of application algorithms onto the DSP of the camera. Key features of the SR4000 camera ** Industrial-grade camera allowing for high-quality measurements in demanding environments. ** Stable measurements are guaranteed through a self-calibrating optical design ** Measurement accuracy is independent of object colour and reflectivity ** In-pixel background light suppression allows for higher measurement accuracy in spite of unfavourable background light conditions ** Two measurement ranges, 5m and 10m allow more flexibility when balancing measurement range with measurement precision ** Simultaneous multi-camera measurements possible through access to multiple illumination frequencies (up to 3 cameras) ** Selectable acquisition mode allows continuous or triggered measurement. Trigger mode allows synchronization with other devices Quick Specifications back to top Max frame rate 50 frames-per-second Pixel array size 176 (h) x 144 (v) Field of view Standard: 43.6° (h) x 34.6° (v).
