Sony FCB camera block
In the application scenario of the integrated camera module, it is often encountered that strong light, low light, light and dark coexistence, rapid change or movement, distance change, violent shaking or twisting, fog and other very complex external environment, in these harsh environments, how does SONY FCB-EV9500L maintain the output of high-quality images?
1. Extreme light environment
1. Low light environment
In typical low-light environments such as dusk and dawn, nighttime environments, cloudy or rainy days, tunnels, caves, and pipelines, a high-sensitivity, starlight low-illumination camera must be used to obtain clear images.
2. strong light environment
Strong light environments usually occur in a variety of different scenes, which may produce high brightness light due to natural factors or human factors. For example, outdoor direct sunlight, snow reflection, street lights or vehicle headlights, bright lighting facilities, high temperature or highly reflective materials, etc., in these strong light environments, the performance of the camera will be subject to certain challenges, such as overexposure, color distortion and other problems.
3. light and dark coexistence environment
The coexistence of light and dark is a visual contrast and layer of the scene characteristics, it can be generated by natural light, artificial light and the occlusion of objects, such as Windows, tunnels, building shadows, water reflection, etc., such an environment will cause the captured image, super bright part of the overexposure, super dark part of the underexposure, the whole picture is a mess.
SONY FCB-EV9500L uses a 1/1.8 “Starvis™ CMOS sensor with 4.17 megapixels to provide excellent sensitivity in low light environments and output color images at 0.009Lx low illumination, with a minimum illumination of 0.00008Lx. This means that the SONY FCB-EV9500L can still capture high-quality images and videos even when there is hardly any light source.
Thanks to the SONY FCB-EV9500L high highlight suppression and point light source avoidance function, in a strong light environment, it can ensure that the highlighted area in the image will not be overexposed, thus retaining more detail and layer, and can automatically detect and avoid the halo and glare generated by the point light source in the image (such as street lights, car lights, etc.). Thus maintaining the sharpness and contrast of the image.
When extremely bright and extremely dark environments are present at the same time, the wide dynamics of the SONY FCB-EV9500L’s high dynamic range ensures that brightness and contrast are balanced throughout the picture. The highlighted area will not be overexposed, and the details are clearly visible; Low dark areas are also not too dark, allowing for more detail and layers.
2. The environment in which the object moves or the distance changes
The environment of changing objects and changing distances is also common in the application scenarios of the integrated camera module, such as: vehicles and people in traffic monitoring, products in industrial testing, robot operations and UAV data collection, etc., the targets and distances in these scenes are constantly changing, how can the camera capture clear and stable images?
In rapidly changing or moving environments, the high sensitivity of the SONY FCB-EV9500L enables fast, precise autofocus, ensuring clarity and accuracy of the picture.
The SONY FCB-EV9500L with 30x enhanced optics magnifies and reduces images by adjusting the focal length of the lens without causing image distortion or loss of quality. Not only can it easily achieve a smooth transition from wide Angle to long distance, capture more details, but also show a huge advantage in long-distance target capture.
3. violent shaking or twisting environment
In the fields of ships, intelligent transportation, Bridges, drones, vehicles, etc., there may be violent shaking or twisting, which will lead to problems such as blurring, shaking, tilting, and even tearing of the captured picture, seriously affecting the picture effect and subsequent video analysis.
The SONY FCB-EV9500L is equipped with Super image stabilization technology, which detects multi-dimensional shake information of the camera including horizontal, vertical and center rotation through the built-in gyroscope sensor, and transmits it to the image processing chip, and then supels and reduces shake through a larger correction area.
It also supports “Super” and “Super+” two anti-shake modes, which can be selected according to the degree of shake, to ensure that the output of clear and stable images in the environment of violent shake or twisting.
4. the harsh environment of fog
Fog is a natural phenomenon that can exist in any external environment, and it can have a significant impact on many outdoor activities and facilities, especially where clear views are required. Such as outdoor monitoring, traffic law enforcement, emergency search and rescue and meteorological observation and other scenarios.
Even in foggy or smog-filled environments, through intelligent image analysis and processing, SONY FCB-EV9500L can reduce the image blur and distortion caused by haze and fog, and, depending on the scene, its visibility enhancement function can automatically adjust the brightness and contrast of the picture, so that the dark and bright parts can be clearly displayed. It can provide clear, uniform color images to help users better monitor and record the scene.
To sum up
With its advanced hardware composition and excellent performance, SONY FCB-EV9500L has shown wide applicability and strong competitiveness in a variety of different application scenarios. No matter what kind of complex or harsh environment, it can maintain the output of high-quality images, providing users with reliable monitoring and recording support.
