Caiman Overview
Low Light Imaging Module
Built around the OnyxMax™ sensor, the Caiman imaging module delivers high quantum efficiency, high spatial resolution in the near-infrared spectral band, and low noise performance providing high sensitivity in low-light conditions (less than 1 mlx).
The module integrates image processing features, including automatic exposure, noise filtering, histogram equalization, and binning, to ensure consistently high image quality.
Compact and Easy to Integrate
With its compact form factor and very low power consumption (below 1W), Caiman is designed for extended operation. It also supports high speeds (greater than 120 fps), which reduces overall system latency for smoother real-time visualization. Its MIPI interface enables easy integration into digital vision systems and compatibility with standard System on Chips (SOCs).
Applications
Caiman is an ideal solution for night vision, surveillance, laser detection, and scientific imaging applications. Its CMOS technology ensures reliable performance in both daytime and nighttime conditions:
- Night vision – night vision goggles, weapon sights, mono/binoculars
- Surveillance – border control, day/night surveillance, people detection
- Drones – guidance, day/night observation and drone detection
- Scientific imaging – microscopy and medical imaging
