Out Now: Allied Vision's Mako Camera with Polarization Sensor Technology

Allied Vision releases new Mako GigE Vision CMOS camera model equipped with polarization filter technology from Sony.

Stadtroda, Germany, March 14, 2019 – Allied Vision is expanding its series of compact, rugged Mako G cameras with a new camera featuring polarization filter technology. The new Mako G-508B POL camera is equipped with a PolarsensTM 5.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor from Sony (IMX250MZR). With the new polarizer camera Allied Vision offers a cost-effective tool to unveil features not visible with conventional imaging solutions.

Improving visibility with polarization image data

The IMX250MZR CMOS sensor incorporates the latest four-directional polarization filter technology from Sony. The on-chip nanowire polarizing layer supports four orientations (0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°) so that each pixel of the sensor captures polarized light in relation to its specific wire-grid axis. Four pixels together build a calculation unit to determine for each pixel the intensity and angle of polarization. 

By using polarized image data, reflections that make the inspection of surfaces difficult can be reduced, contrast can be enhanced in lowlight conditions to detect shapes, and various material properties can be detected, like stress, composition, or surface structure. The Mako G-508B POL enables an eased usability to gather polarization imaging data, as replacement or manual rotation of polarization filters is not necessary anymore. It also reduces costs due to a minimized system setup, compared to traditional polarization imaging methods.
