Teledyne’s new 8k super resolution GigE Vision line scan camera is in production

This compact and cost-effective GigE line scan camera delivers 8k resolution images, a performance that normally requires a camera body twice the size.

Built for a wide range of machine vision applications, Linea Lite cameras have a 45% smaller footprint than the original Linea and are based on Teledyne’s proprietary multiline CMOS image sensor design. This new 8k Super Resolution Monochrome camera uses two 4k/7 μm pixel rows with pixel offset. Data from two 4k/7 μm images is captured simultaneously and then reconstructed to achieve a super resolution image of 8k/3.5 μm in real time, significantly enhancing signal-to-noise ratio and the detectability of subpixel defects. Teledyne DALSA’s patented technology allows for the use of 4k/7 μm lenses and lighting without sacrificing on responsivity and MTF (due to the smaller pixel size). The camera is compatible with standard M-42 lenses, significantly saving on the total system cost.
