ATTLEBORO, Mass., 31 July 2007. Sensata Technologies Inc. in Attleboro, Mass., is extending its automotive vision systems line into industrial and recreational vehicle applications where the safety of people and surrounding equipment is also of prime concern.
The company's ACM100 CMOS camera module and IM103 image sensor offerings are designed to improve the operational safety of vehicles like boats, airplanes, motor homes, military and law-enforcement vehicles, forklifts, and other industrial equipment.
Sensata's ACM100 camera module is based on the IM103 CMOS image sensor with its dynamic range of up to 120 db enabled by Sensata's Autobrite technology that can capture visual information in conditions of extreme variations in illumination.
The IM103's spectral range is sensitive to visible and near infrared (NIR) wavelengths enabling the camera to capture wavelengths that are unseen by the human eye but present in the night sky.
This capability far exceeds traditional imagers allowing industrial camera systems to "see" in dramatically changing lighting conditions common in day and night operation. For example, video enabling a motor home or a heavy construction vehicle provides significant operator 'viewing' assistance and results in improved operator performance and a reduced number of accidents and associated downtime. The benefits of the system are especially evident at night when low lighting might make it difficult or impossible to see with the human eye or with conventional imagers.
