(IDS: Obersulm, Germany) -- Users who choose 3D cameras from the Ensenso N series can now benefit from more advanced models. The new stereo vision cameras (N31, N36, N41, and N46) can now be purchased from IDS Imaging Development Systems.

Ensenso N cameras deliver high-quality 3D information with next-generation models for improved data quality. The 3D cameras have a compact housing (made of aluminum or plastic composite, depending on the model) with an integrated pattern projector. They’re suitable for capturing both static and moving objects. The integrated projector projects a high-contrast texture onto the objects in question. A pattern mask with a random dot pattern complements nonexisting or only weakly visible surface structures. This allows the cameras to deliver detailed 3D point clouds even in difficult lighting conditions.

With the Ensenso models N31, N36, N41, and N46, IDS is now launching the next generation of the previously available N30, N35, N40, and N45. Visually, the cameras do not differ from their predecessors. They do, however, use a new sensor from Sony, the IMX392. This results in a higher resolution—2.3 MP instead of 1.3 MP.
