High-resolution global and rolling shutter DesignCore® camera platforms for robotics, inspection, aerial mapping, and scientific imaging. D3 custom-engineers each solution from field-proven designs to meet your performance-critical application requirements.
Why High Resolution
- Capture fine detail across wide fields of view: High-resolution sensors let a single camera cover large areas (aerial mapping, wide-scene inspection) without sacrificing the pixel density needed to spot small defects or details.
- Reduce the number of cameras needed per system – Replace several lower-resolution cameras tiled together, reducing hardware complexity, calibration overhead, and integration cost.
- Support downstream cropping and digital zoom: Extra resolution gives AI/ML pipelines room to crop, zoom, or re-frame post-capture while still meeting accuracy requirements for detection and inspection tasks.
Sensor Models
As a Sony partner, D3 builds on high-quality Sony image sensors, but can also custom-engineer new designs around any sensor to meet your application requirements.
| Sensor | Resolution | Shutter | Format | Form factor Lens mount | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IMX661 | 128MP | Global | 3.6″ / 56.7mm diagonal | Custom M72 lens | Aerial mapping, large-area inspection, metrology |
| IMX530 | 25MP | Global | 1.2″ / 19.3mm diagonal | Custom 4/3″ or C/CS lens | High-speed factory automation, robotics, aerospace |
| IMX565 | 12MP | Global | 1/1.1″ / 14mm diagonal | Standard cube M12 or C/CS lens | Compact high-speed embedded systems, factory automation |
| IMX676 | 12MP | Rolling | 1/1.6″ / 10mm diagonal | Standard cube M12 lens | Industrial & machine vision, smart city, security, robotics |
| IMX577 | 12MP | Rolling | 1/2.3″ / 7.9mm diagonal | Standard cube M12 lens | Cost-sensitive detail imaging, smart cities |
Each design above has been deployed in customer systems and can be adapted to your mechanical, interface, and lens requirements.
