CBC displays THRU Vision camera system
‘Suddenly, everything became clear’, could be the catchline for the new THRU Vision camera system being displayed on the booth of CBC (America).
An unassuming-looking camera performs a remarkable feat in cutting through veils of rain, snow or smoke to reveal a clear image of a roadway and traffic.
“It uses the same image sensor as a traditional analogue camera but the processing inside it averages out the image and allows you to see through visibility problems,” says Naoya ‘Nick’ Kushiro, marketing manager of the imaging technology division of CBC (America).
Having been set up to cover a particular area, the camera ‘remembers’ what the scene should look like in clear weather, then works to recover that image by electronically removing any visual ‘noise’ and restoring the original colour balance when it detects the original image deteriorating, he explains.
The company, which is making its first appearance at the Annual Meeting, is also showing its ultra wide-angle 3mm-8mm three-megapixel lens. The f1.2 aperture lens is used in Japan-based CBC’s high-definition camera technology and has a wide range of uses, says Jim Holihan, vice-president of its imaging technology division.
It can cope particularly well with low-light conditions and can switch between daylight colour and night-time black and white imaging, he adds.
