Toshiba has cmos image sensor for automotive designs
Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its range of cmos image sensors to include a full hd device for the security/surveillance and automotive markets.
The TCM5117PL offers a high dynamic range of >100dB, fast frame rate of 60fps (at 1080p) and colour noise reduction technology for better colour reproduction in low light conditions.
The sensor is provided in a 1/3 inch optical format and provides high resolution picture quality when moving from low to bright light conditions and vice versa.
A single frame HDR implementation has been implemented to improve the capture of fast moving objects when compared to multi frame systems.
With frame rates at 30fps for conventional multi frame systems, Toshiba says the single frame approach at 60fps promotes faster, less blurry and higher quality images – especially in high contrast light conditions.
