A Survey of CMOS Imagers and Lenses—and the Trade-offs You Should Consider


Selecting the right imager and lens for your vision application is often a daunting challenge due to the vast number of products on the market and the large technical and performance differences between different product lines and technologies. In this talk, we present overviews of the imager and lens market trade-spaces as well as an analysis showing some unexpected correlations and clusters in product offerings. This analysis will help you understand performance, size, weight, and cost tradeoffs and will help guide your component selections and integration.

  • Chris Osterwood founded Capable Robot Components in 2017 to enable rapid development of autonomous robots by providing technological building blocks to system integrators. Capable Robot is currently developing embedded communications hardware and a line of camera system components. Previously, Chris was Chief Technical Officer of Carnegie Robotics, where he led the development of many of Carnegie Robotics' robotic component products and custom robotic systems including MultiSense (a line of 3D stereo cameras), smart monocular and ring cameras, purpose-built manipulators, off-road unmanned ground vehicles and indoor autonomous robots for the industrial floor care market. Chris previously presented at the 2017 Embedded Vision Summit and ROSCON about the design and testing of 3D sensor technologies and at the 2019 Summit about 2D camera interconnect and imager technologies
