LUCID Vision Lab exhibits advanced sensors and the new 10 GigE Triton camera at VISION 2024

Whilst at VISION 2O24 in Messe Stuttgart, we were fortunate enough to meet with an impressive range of leading industry experts and professionals including LUCID Vision Labs’ General Manager Torsten Wiesinger. We were lucky enough to stop by LUCID’s booth on two separate occasions to see them exhibiting and discussing the technology that they had on display.

During our first visit to the LUCID booth, Torsten presented to us the ‘next step of machine vision’ explaining LUCID’s newest advanced sensor developments. In a detailed discussion which highlighted the starting point beginning with the PC, right through to the developed camera, LUCID’s intelligent technology is not actually stored within the sensor and instead can be uploaded and transferred via a very simple click to the PC. Torsten then went on to run through the next part of the exhibit, discussing LUCID’s newest Sony sensor which is based on the Prophesee technology. The sensor is specifically designed to be event based due to the assets it possesses, such as increased speed, and edge detection making it an effective piece of technology to use in the setting.

The LUCID exhibit also pin pointed another key feature within the Sony sensor, which is the ability to be able to see in very low light and extreme high light whereas previous sensor technology may not have the capability to achieve this.

In our second visit to LUCID’s booth with Torsten, we got to see their newest advancement. We were able to take a look at the 10 GigE Triton first hand and how it operates with many of its key features, differentiating from previous cameras for a number of reasons. It is no secret that LUCID are one of the industries pioneers of 10 GigE cameras in the machine vision market, so their newest development is certainly expected to pave the way once it is released. Torsten explained that the newest 10 GigE camera is ‘Triton’ which combines all of the features and benefits that are already within the camera, combined with LUCID’s ‘Atlas 10’ camera. The camera on display in the demonstration features a vast variety of sensors ranging from five to up to 45/47 megapixels, LUCID also explained that they have adeveloped their own RDMA card which allows four cameras to run with 24.5 mega pixels to run at 36 frames per second.

Torsten shared that a defining factor which pushes technological developments further for this camera is that it possesses 30 GB per second running without CPU load which means that all data is bypassed. The data is then moved to the memory without using CPU ensuring the CPU load remains at 0, giving the camera a highly impressive operating model. The camera also possesses many more advanced qualities such as ease with prototyping use, and a breakout board for testing portraying the lengthy list of possibilities that can be reached from this new technology.
