Sony Europe\u2019s Image Sensing Solutions has announced the industry\u2019s first software development kit for camera modules based on Pregius IMX250MZR polarised image sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created to run on its new XCG-CP510 polarised module, the XPL-SDKW was previewed at Vision and is available immediately, enabling development teams to cut polarised machine vision application design time and cost significantly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IMX250MZR sensor, the industry\u2019s first to integrate polarisation functionality at the pixel level can filter light in 4 planes – 0o<\/sup>, 90o<\/sup>, 45o<\/sup>, and 135o<\/sup> – with pixels assigned a plane in a 2×2 calculation unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sony\u2019s Stephane Clauss said: \u201cWe\u2019ve worked in close consultation with our customers to identify the key functions for the SDK, and develop its  highly- optimised algorithms. And we will continue to add more over the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDepending on the dev team and application, a standard polarised-camera application would typically take between 6 to 24 months. Through the SDK, and its image processing library, the dev time for the same application can be cut to around 6-12 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of polarised camera modules will prove vital in a wide range of applications and Sony has developed and validated software models for the major subset of these, including: weakness detection (eg for glass, PET and display manufacturing); inspection (eg for manufacturing \/ ITS \/ pharmaceuticals); scratch identification.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

XPL-SDKW features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The set of functions available with the SDK have been developed to run on a standard PC*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support functions are the first level supplied in the SDK, which includes for example demosaic and raw extraction.

The \u2018Cosine fit\u2019 allows the developer to define a virtual polarizer angle for the whole image and the \u2018Average\u2019 function creates a non-polarized image from the raw data to simultaneously export what a standard machine vision camera would see for comparison. 

Pre-processing functions calculate various polarization specific information like the \u2018Degree of Polarisation\u2019, \u2018Stokkes Vector\u2019 and the \u2018Surface Normal Vector\u2019
At the higher-end level, \u2018Applications-Oriented\u2019 functions have been implemented to manage reflections and measure stress.

These functions\u2019 algorithms have been optimised for accuracy and high computing to enable its use in real-time inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
