patent pending plenoptic depth map sensors
The demand for automated optical inspection systems that also account for the third dimension is constantly growing. With a Raytrix light field camera you can not only measure in 2D but in 3D with a single camera, in a single shot and with standard lighting. Why not replace the 2D camera in your current AOI systems with a 3D camera of the same size?
You can capture a 2D image and the 3D form of your plant with just the available light or even near infra red light to ensure that your measurements do not interfere with the plant growth. The system is also robust for outdoor use since only a single image is needed. Therefore plant movements, for example due to wind, are no problem.
With a single Raytrix light field PTV camera you can capture both: 3D particle positions and 3D particle velocities in a volume. The patented micro lens array design used in Raytrix cameras offers an optimal combination of depth-of-field and effective resolution, which makes them the highest resolving light field cameras on the market.
The Raytrix cameras’ extended depth-of-field, small footprint and ability to capture 2D and 3D data with a single camera, in a single shot also at video frame rates, makes them an ideal choice for robotics. Place a Raytrix light field camera on the end effector to measure depth and capture images even at close range.
You have a standard microscope and would like to take metric measurements in 3D? No problem – just attach a Raytrix 3D microscope camera and you are ready to go. Since you only need a single camera, a single shot and standard lighting your frame rate is only limited by the camera electronics.
A resolution of 42 megapixels, a camera size of 40x40x27mm and USB3 connection: this is our 2D camera C42. Ideally suited for applications where no detail can be missed, like security, PCB inspection, robotics and camera arrays. The camera is available with C-mount and also with integrated high resolution optics.
Raytrix was founded in 2008 and sells 3D light field cameras for professional applications and research since 2010. We started with the goal to explore the potential of light field technology and make it feasible for individual applications. By now we are a team of highly motivated people continually improving the quality of our light field cameras and exploring new application areas.
Light Field cameras are a new type of 3D-cameras that capture a standard image together with the depth information of a scene. Metric 3D information can be captured with a single light field camera through a single lens in a single shot using just the available light. Raytrix has specialized on developing light field cameras for industrial applications. A patented micro lens array design allows for an optimal compromise between high effective resolution and large depth of field. Raytrix cameras are already in use in applications like volumetric velocimetry, plant phenotyping, automated optical inspection and microscopy, to name a few.
