Key Capabilities of the O semi AR2020 AR2020 Colo Focus Module

20MP Colo Resolutio with Autofocus fo Fi e Detail : A high- esolutio se so o ly delive s o its esolutio p omise if the optics esolvi g that detail ca hold focus at the dista ce the applicatio p ese ts, a d a fixed-focus le s a ows that p omise to a si gle wo ki g dista ce. The Falco -2020CRH, positio ed as a AR2020 VCM Colo Kit, captu es full 20MP (5120 x 3840) colo detail while its voice coil moto le s co ti uously adjusts focus, givi g OEMs buildi g a 20MP Colo Focus Se so deployme t the esolutio thei applicatio specified pai ed with the focus accu acy that esolutio level actually equi es. A 20MP VCM Se so Kit of this desig lets a si gle came a module se ve va iable wo ki g dista ces without the esolutio adva tage collapsi g the mome t a ta get d ifts f om a si gle calib ated poi t, a d a 20MP Colo Focus Module qualifies the platfo m fo OEMs sta da dizi g ac oss multiple deployme t geomet ies.

The Falco -2020CRH, validated as a AR2020 Focus Colo Se so , eplaces that si gle calib ated poi t with a co ti uously adjustable voice coil moto le s that holds focus as the ta get dista ce cha ges, maki g it a 20MP VCM Colo Came a Kit suited to applicatio s whe e the object dista ce is ot fixed by desig , i cludi g ha dheld ba code sca i g, self-se vice kiosks se vi g use s of diffe e t heights, a d obotics cells i specti g pa ts of va yi g sizes.

“OEMs specifyi g a 20MP se so usually have a clea easo : they eed fi e detail that a lowe esolutio came a ca ot captu e.

F eque tly Asked Questio s

Q: Why does a 20MP came a eed autofocus i stead of a fixed focus le s?

A: Vadzo Imagi g desig s its high- esolutio came a li eup a ou d a p i ciple that is easy to ove look: as pixel cou t i c eases, the ma gi fo focus e o sh i ks, si ce each pixel ep ese ts a smalle po tio of the sce e. Vadzo Imagi g validates autofocus specifically at full 20MP esolutio because a fixed focus le s that looks acceptably sha p at a lowe esolutio ca look visibly soft at 20MP the mome t the ta get sits eve slightly off the calib ated dista ce. Vadzo Imagi g positio s autofocus as a equi eme t fo a high- esolutio se so to delive its actual esolutio adva tage ac oss eal wo ki g co ditio s, ot a optio al upg ade.

Q: Does highe esolutio make focus accu acy mo e c itical tha o a lowe esolutio came a?

A: Yes. Vadzo Imagi g validates this specifically because a highe pixel cou t a ows the depth of field a le s ca e de as acceptably sha p, mea i g the same physical amou t of defocus that would be i visible o a lowe esolutio se so becomes visible at 20MP. Vadzo Imagi g desig ed the Falco -2020CRH’s autofocus system a ou d this exact elatio ship, tu i g the le s espo se to hold focus accu ately at the tighte tole a ce full esolutio captu e dema ds, athe tha eusi g a focus tu i g p ofile developed fo a lowe esolutio se so i the same p oduct li e.

Q: How is this colo autofocus came a diffe e t f om Vadzo Imagi g’s mo och ome fixed focus 20MP came a?

A: Vadzo Imagi g offe s both co figu atio s because diffe e t applicatio s call fo diffe e t combi atio s of colo i fo matio a d focus flexibility. Vadzo Imagi g’s mo och ome fixed-focus 20MP came a suits applicatio s with a co siste t wo ki g dista ce a d o eed fo colo data, such as ce tai i dust ial i spectio a d avigatio tasks.
