The miniature range camera SwissRanger SR-3000 is an optical imaging system, which offers high-resolution 3D image data in real time. It is a non-contact, compact and easy-to-use range camera that can be used to monitor hazardous areas in buildings, vehicles or on machines. The SR-3000 is based on the time-of-flight (TOF) principle and works with a modulated infrared light source. The emitted light pulses are reflected by the objects in the scene and travel back to the camera, where their precise time of arrival is measured locally in each “smart” pixel of a custom image sensor. In contrast to conventional cameras, the SR-3000 range camera thus not only determines the local brightness in the scene, but also the complete distance map, i.e. the 3D model of its environment. The miniature range camera SR-3000 belongs to a line of new 3D-imaging products. CSEM SA as renowned leader in optical timeof-flight range imaging offers also a wide range of solutions for the development of dedicated imaging products optimized to the very specific needs of its customers.
