Overview
photonicSENS combines the intensity, colour and direction of light rays in a patented single-lens (plenoptic) architecture that adds depth perception to standard machine vision. A single apiCAM CUBE sensor outputs a 2D image and a perfectly aligned, calibrated depth map from one capture, so no stereo baseline, projector or multi-camera calibration is needed.
The apiCAM CUBE line spans embedded VIVID and VIVID+ modules, wide-field CHAMP and PRIME cameras, the M12-mount FOCUS, and the high-precision TITAN, QUANTUM and MICRO models that reach sub-millimetre to sub-micron depth accuracy. This gives integrators a continuous precision spectrum from wide navigation coverage to microscopic metrology.
Because the 3D data is reliable on metallic, glossy and complex materials and in full sunlight, apiCAM CUBE cameras suit robotic manipulation, autonomous navigation and inline inspection where conventional 3D sensors struggle. The compact, low-power form factor fits OEM systems directly.
Key Benefits
Single lens, simultaneous 2D + 3D removes stereo and multi-camera calibration. 1.4 MP at 30 fps with depth precision from sub-millimetre to sub-micron. Robust on reflective materials and under any lighting, including sunlight. Compact, low-power OEM module for embedded perception and robotics.
Applications
Embedded 3D perception, robot navigation and manipulation, automated optical inspection, bin-picking, electronics and semiconductor metrology, and automotive or healthcare 3D sensing.
