If you need classic aspect radio of 4:3 in MV or 1:1 for microscopy, you can choose the larger Emeralds with 12, 16 or 67 Megapixel. This sensor here is one member of 4 different resolutions. And each sensor has its own market by application.<br />That the optical center is not the sensor package center is caused mainly by the ADC structure, clearly visible. There are other sensors on the market, with split into top and bottom circuits, but this is trickier.<br /><br /><br />Dana Diezemannhttp://diezemann.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-62354301881187991312018-10-05T01:56:29.603+03:002018-10-05T01:56:29.603+03:00The sensor size appears to be 20mm x 21mm (accordi...The sensor size appears to be 20mm x 21mm (according to their public flyer). So a 29x29 housing should be possible, but I guess you will need a quite low power camera electronics to avoid serious heat issues... (The sensor alone has up to 1.6W at full speed)<br /><br />Regarding the aspect ratio, I guess it is simply market demand driven (e.g. I for my side prefer 16:9 or 4:3). People that really need a square image can always leave part of the sensor unused... I assume the volume for square sensor applications is too low to justify the dedicated sensor development.tentnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497139857025987223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-14888523348597676312018-10-04T21:39:31.639+03:002018-10-04T21:39:31.639+03:00Good remark on the non-symmetrical placement of th...Good remark on the non-symmetrical placement of the die vs. 29x29mm camera housing...will be a nightmare.<br /><br />I'm also puzzled by the 2:1 aspect ratio for machine vision...I agree with your reasoning ...for ITS I can imagine 2:1 makes sense (~ capture multiple lanes).Rosienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-45503337380853932042018-10-04T19:27:51.346+03:002018-10-04T19:27:51.346+03:00About aspect ratio:

In ITS a wide aspect ratio helps seeing multiple lanes with 1 sensor.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I follow your second point about the non-symmetrical die placement, which seems to be a result of the quite large single-sided readout under the pixel array - not sure what magic happens there...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-8604377390290077182018-10-04T08:32:41.795+03:002018-10-04T08:32:41.795+03:00I dont understand arguments for such a wide nearly...I dont understand arguments for such a wide nearly 2:1 format field of view. Optics have a circle inside which they are optimized/usable. A 2:1 rectangle covers a far smaller area inside this circle than a square. Machines dont need to produce wide screen movies for people but measure/inspect/act. But maybe its different in "traffic intelligence" markets. In the robotics/machine vision applications I know, a square field of view offers the best match to the operating area of optics. <br />The second point is the large package and the non-symmetrical placement of the die. The active area is maybe 11.5x6mm, the package to me seems to be something like 24x24. If you place the optical center in the cmount center, a 29x29mm camera package will be hard to realize. But also here - maybe this is not so important in the main target market of the sensor...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
