Sony IMX811 image sensor specifications
The Sony IMX811 is ahigh-performance CMOS image sensor designed specifically for industrial and machine vision applications. It features an impressive resolution of 24.6megapixels (19200 × 12800 pixels), enabling it to capture highly detailed images critically for precision inspection and quality control. The sensor has a pixel size of 2.81 μm, which balances high resolution with good light sensitivity to ensure clear images even in lower lighting conditions.
This sensor uses a rolling shutter type, capturing images line by line, which allows for faster frame rates and lower power consumption compared to global shutter sensors. The combination of its high resolution, pixel size, and rolling shutter design makes the IMX811 well suited for applications that require detailed imaging at high speeds.
