New 12MP camera with on-sensor polarimetry claimed to be smallest on the market

Teledyne Flir has introduced the latest addition to its polarised Blackfly S GigE camera lineup – the BFS-PGE-123S6P-C. This new 12MP model is said to be well suited for applications dealing with reflective and/or challenging lighting conditions. Typical applications include traffic systems, UAS (unmanned aerial systems), inspection lines with transparent or reflective parts and other uncontrolled lighting environments.

The camera pairs the new Sony IMX253 MZR sensor with an easy-to-use glare reduction feature built into our Spinnaker SDK, making application development and deployment fast and easy. These new GigE cameras with Power over Ethernet (PoE) also take advantage of a new lossless compression feature, delivering up to 14 FPS at full resolution without compromising on image quality.

Weighing in at just 36 grams, the company claims the camera is significantly lighter and more compact than competing offerings in the market.
