The Clairvu Engine is our original camera signal processing algorithm/engine that supports 4K and achieves high-quality images comparable to those from digital single-lens reflex cameras. The ISP is also available in a licensing format. Through high-resolution, low moiré, and low noise color interpolation (CFA) processing, it generates high-quality images that rival those developed from RAW data on a PC. By applying the optimal color correction matrix according to the area in the color space, it achieves high color reproduction accuracy. The FPGA version has the capability to process 3840x2160 progressive images at 60fps. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Additionally, for customers who find it difficult to introduce expensive infrared cameras as production equipment necessary for high-sensitivity imaging in the near-infrared range, CIS also offers the VCC-5CXP3NIR (near-infrared model) equipped with a CMOS sensor that enhances sensitivity to near-infrared. This allows for imaging of areas that are difficult to confirm visually, leveraging the transparency of near-infrared wavelengths, and enables more precise imaging.

**What is pixel shifting technology...** It is a technology that improves resolution by moving the X/Y axis between the pixel pitches of a camera's image sensor in sub-micrometer increments using a piezo actuator, capturing an image each time it is moved, and then synthesizing those images. With a 25M (25 million pixel) camera, it is possible to achieve a resolution equivalent to 100 million pixels with 4 shifts (2 shifts vertically and horizontally) and a resolution equivalent to 400 million pixels with 16 shifts (4 shifts vertically and horizontally). We have received inquiries from various customers requiring ultra-high precision imaging for inspection, research/analysis, medical, and archiving applications. For more details about our products, please download our product catalog or contact our sales department.

Benefits of SONY's Pregius Sensor ■ Distortion-free images with global shutter In industrial applications, it is important to capture images accurately and without distortion when photographing workpieces moving quickly on factory production lines. ■ High speed and high performance Not only can distortion-free images be obtained with a global shutter, but the ROI (Region of Interest) function allows for cropping specified areas to increase the frame rate. Additionally, it is resistant to temperature changes and generates little noise, making it suitable for various needs both indoors and outdoors.

The ways in which customers want to see work vary greatly. Whether it's wanting to make work more visible and noticeable, measuring distances, or combining multiple image data into one, the introduction of an image processing system makes it possible to enhance visibility of what you want to see. However, finding a system that perfectly matches your company's needs can be quite challenging. At CIS, we not only manufacture and sell cameras but also have a system in place to support everything from software development and porting tailored to customer applications to providing and developing image processing software IP, accommodating both prototyping and mass production. We listen to our customers' needs, consider the necessity of optical systems, sensors, ISPs, and image processing units, and propose the system that we believe is best for them. Please leave system development to CIS!

Introducing new CoaXPress cameras equipped with Sony's 4th generation global shutter CMOS sensor, available in 5 million, 20 million, and 24 million pixels! The 4th generation sensor (Pregius S sensor) incorporates a back-illuminated structure, allowing for smaller pixel sizes (2.74×2.74μm) and faster frame rates compared to the conventional Pregius sensor. When compared to cameras with pixel sizes larger than 2.74×2.74μm at the same sensor size, cameras equipped with the Pregius S sensor can capture the entire image of the subject with fewer exposures. Additionally, our 5 million pixel camera can achieve high-speed image transmission at 101 fps, the 20 million pixel camera at 79.6 fps, and the 24 million pixel camera at 21.9 fps. This makes them ideal for various inspection applications that require precise imaging in a short time. Furthermore, the CoaXPress interface allows for data transmission, camera control, and power supply through a single coaxial cable, contributing to space and cost savings even in applications using multiple cameras.

In recent years, the demand for e-commerce has been increasing, and in the logistics industry, there is a growing movement towards automation to improve operational efficiency. Tasks that have traditionally relied on human labor can now be performed accurately, quickly, and at low cost by combining cameras with image processing systems. However, if the quality of the cameras, which serve as a substitute for the human "eye," is poor, stable images cannot be obtained, leading to disruptions in operations. CIS offers a wide range of cameras equipped with ToF cameras and high-performance Pregius sensors from Sony, available in both low and high pixel counts. ToF cameras can obtain 3D information in real-time within a measurement range of 15cm to 70cm or 30cm to 5m. The differences in distance are represented by a gradient from red to blue, making them well-suited for applications such as checking the loading status of items, measuring dimensions and volume, and monitoring operations in logistics environments. Additionally, these cameras are equipped with light sources, allowing them to be used in environments without lighting. CXP cameras with Pregius sensors, available in both low and high pixel counts, can capture high-quality images with low noise due to the characteristics of the sensors. By adopting a global shutter method, they can capture fast-moving subjects without distortion, making them ideal for use in logistics environments where there is a lot of movement.

By conducting inspections at a maximum resolution of 21M and SWIR wavelengths, we capture defects that are typically undetectable, contributing to the efficiency of production. 【Examples of SWIR Camera Applications】 ■ Discovering scratches in wafer inspections that are invisible under visible light. ■ Making substrate through-holes more prominent for easier inspection of hole positions and sizes. ■ Objects that appear the same color under visible light are shown in different colors under SWIR wavelengths due to differences in moisture permeability, allowing for differentiation of materials and contents. ■ By absorbing/transmitting light depending on the type of liquid, we can determine the presence and quantity of contents and the mixing of foreign substances. ■ Checking contents by penetrating bottle labels and plastic candy bags. ■ Leaf veins and bruises on fruits become more pronounced, making them effective for freshness checks and quality inspections. Previously, we offered the SXGA resolution "VCC-SXCXP1SW," but we are now introducing the new high-resolution pixel-shift SWIR camera "VCC-SXCXP1SWPS" with a maximum resolution of 21M. The camera is equipped with an actuator incorporating our proprietary piezoelectric elements, enabling higher precision imaging.
