New Mesa SR4500 TOF camera enables a wider range of applications

Go to SR4500
Go to 3D cameras
Go to Mesa Imaging

Keeps the strong features of its series but adds more powerful illumination

About Time-of-Flight technology
The heart of a TOF camera is an advanced sensor technology employing the time-of-flight distance measurement principle.

Infrared light from the camera's internal lighting source is reflected by objects in the scene and travels back to the camera, where its precise time of arrival is measured independently by each of tens of thousands of sensor pixels. Read about the advantages of TOF technology.

The SR4500
Designed to suppress background light more efficiently, the SR4500 is the newest member of the SR4k family combines powerful illumination with the proven accuracy and stability of the original SR4000. A wider range of applications, including those with high background light levels, is now possible.

Emitting a higher IR light intensity than the SR4000, other additional improvements are a more robust industrial grade housing (IP67 rated), suppression of range ambiguity and multiple camera operation.


Key features
• NEW Improved background light suppression • NEW IP67 protection rating • NEW Suppression of range ambiguity
• NEW Multi-camera operation (>3 cameras) • Low-noise SILO image sensor • DSP for embedded image processing (Ethernet version)
• Optical feedback for unsurpassed measurement stability • Excellent reliability and robustness • 69 x 55° and 44 x 35° FOV available

Applications for the SR4500
Logistics Visualises and measures volumes of freight in a very short time
Security Easier segmentation of images to determine presence, location and number of people at a security gate, airport or objects surveillance/detection in sensitive areas
Machine vision Provides a reliable set of depth data not possible with other vision products
Robotics Overcomes the shortfalls of other solutions such as stereoscopic cameras or laser scanners that deliver ambiguous information
Medical/Biometrics Provides immediate, cost-effective images/ patient-position and patient-movement monitoring to increase effectiveness of therapy systems (including radio therapy)

Advantages of Time-of-Flight technology
TOF-based measurements have several important advantages compared to other 3D imaging technologies, such as laser triangulation or stereoscopic vision systems
•   Measurements are not dependent on external reference points or presence of contrast in the surface of measured objects
• Real time, video frame rate measurements with no dependency on scanning cycles or limitations imposed by computer processing power
• Scene illumination is provided by the camera, and is not dependent on illumination from external, visible light
• Larger objects can be measured easily without any increase in camera base length (as with stereo vision)
• Camera directly delivers depth values for each pixel without the need of complex calculation algorithms. The result is faster, less computation intensive systems and enabling of direct integration of application algorithms onto the DSP of the camera
