Teledyne DALSA Genie Nano-M2450-Polarized camera

Teledyne DALSA has introduced its Genie Nano camera built around the Sony Pregius 5.1M polarised image sensor. It has a small footprint of 21.2 x 29 x 44 mm and lightweight frame of 47 g.

The Genie Nano-M2450-Polarized model features a monochrome quad polarisation filter, resolution of 2448 x 2048 pixels and image capture of 35 fps. With the company’s TurboDrive technology, frame rates can increase by as much as 50%.

Polarisation enables detectability of stress, birefringence, through-reflection and glare from surfaces like glass, plastic and metal. Sony’s image sensor, with its pixel-level polariser structure, enables the detection of both the amount and angle of polarised light across a scene. Four different angled polarisers (90°, 45°, 135° and 0°) are positioned on each pixel, and every block of four pixels comprises a calculation unit.
