ImmerVision - Experts & Thought Leaders

Immervision, the developer of advanced vision systems combining optics, image processing, and sensor fusion technology, announces the availability of its UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) low-light navigation camera module designed for autonomous and semi-autonomous navigation in all environments, with high performance in low-light conditions. Designed to satisfy the demanding requirements of total situational awareness (or 360° surround machine perception) operating in low-light conditions, this plug-and-play solution gives access to Immervision’s advanced wide-angle camera module and image processing software. Challenging indoor environment Its compact design fits easily in different types of UAV/UAS/drones while its lightweight has a small impact on power consumption. The rugged design is well suited for a wide range of applications, including robots, land vehicles, and water vessels. To conduct these operations properly, autonomous navigation capability is essential" “UAVs are becoming increasingly used in industrial inspection, remote sensing for mapping and surveying, rescuing and more,” explains Patrice Roulet, Vice President, Technology, and Co-Founder at Immervision. “To conduct these operations properly, autonomous navigation capability is essential, especially in complex environments where other sensors are inefficient or battery hungry. Our camera module provides fast high precision input for navigation systems in various challenging outdoor and indoor environment.” Typical fisheye lens The camera module includes the lens assembly, a 5MP sensor, and a MIPI interface, weighing only 4.7 grams. Unlike a typical fisheye lens, this camera module uses a panomorph lens combining an ultra-wide-angle Field of View (190° FoV) with a unique distortion profile and a large aperture (F#1.8). It is crafted to maximise the light sensitivity of pixels and optimise the image quality from edge to edge, for use by human operators and/or artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems. Key Features: Wide-angle panomorph lens with smart pixel management provides enhanced image quality The lens small F# and high relative illumination, combined with the high sensitivity of the Sony sensor, ensures exceptional performances in a variety of low light conditions IP67 rating and front lens element in glass for usage in various environments, outdoors and indoors Small footprint and lightweight Off-the-self solution, available and ready for implementation Easily customisable to various platforms and flight controllers

Immervision, the pioneering developer of advanced vision systems combining optics, image processing, and sensor fusion technology announced its ultra-wide lenses will be integrated into IONODES’ PERCEPT body camera. This collaboration will give businesses and the general public greater peace of mind, by providing physical security workers with a body camera that can effectively capture in real-time any potential security threats or issues in high resolution and never miss a detail through a Panomorph lens with 180° field of view. Improving safety “In the physical security industry, the challenge that most companies face with body-worn cameras is that the video fails to effectively capture what’s occurring due to narrow field-of-view and poor image resolution,” said Eric Tasso, President at IONODES. “By selecting Immervision technology and their team of experts, we are providing security, industrial and commercial organisations with the highest-quality wearable cameras to improve safety, enhance security, optimise business processes and provide transparency.” IONODES’ device integrates seamlessly with a GPS receiver and 9-axis motion sensor to stabilise the image  Integration with body-worn IoT device IONODES’ body-worn IoT device is the first of a series of products that combines Immervision’s ultra-wide-angle lens, image processing, and sensor technology with IONODES 4K camera, and connects to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LTE. IONODES’ device integrates seamlessly with a GPS receiver and 9-axis motion sensor, allowing users to closely follow the field of view in real-time, to stabilise the image and provide location tracking to users, whether for security, prevention, monitoring, or entertainment applications. Advanced vision systems “Over the last 20 years, Immervision has focused on cultivating and perfecting its expertise in advanced vision systems, giving devices in industries such as physical security the ability to truly perceive the world around them,” said Pascale Nini, President, and CEO at Immervision. “Immervision and IONODES are deeply committed to offering the best vision systems in the market for security and surveillance, and we look forward to continuing to make more innovative strides in developing high-quality wearable camera devices and AI-based vision systems.”

LILIN has announced the release of 360 Immervision Enables certified panoramic cameras - 12 mega-pixels F2R36C2IM and 8 mega-pixels F2R3682IM. F2R36C2IM and F2R3682IM panoramic cameras are certified Immervision Enables with Registered Panomorph Lens (RPL), C9VVT and B5SST. Immervision Enables certification The certificates confirm that these cameras meet the specified field of view, focal plane field, and distortion profile, in accordance with Immervision’s Certification Procedure. “LILIN counts as a proud Immervision Enables certified partner that delivers state-of-the-art panoramic cameras,” said Sophie Gigliotti, Immervision’s Manager, Sales and Business Development, Video Security. F2R36C2IM and F2R3682IM panoramic cameras F2R36C2IM and F2R3682IM panoramic cameras are designed to meet the low light performance F2R36C2IM and F2R3682IM panoramic cameras are designed to meet the low light performance. The IR illumination of the cameras is considered at design phase. The video night vision is evenly illuminated by the IR illumination design. H.265 video stream of the cameras provide high compression rate but outstanding video quality. IP67 and IK10 design provide outdoor installation and vandal proof capacities.  Featuring wide-angle Panomorph Optical Design Mr. Steve Hu, the Product Manager of LILIN, said “We are very pleased to corporate with Immervision for F2R36C2IM and F2R3682IM cameras." He adds, "With the aim of Immervision, the wide-angle Panomorph Optical Design marks the evolution of wide-angle lenses, replacing fisheyes with a technology enabling ultra-wide-angle field of view, augmented resolution, flawless viewing and miniaturisation of optics.”
