SDK software polarimetric camera

SDK software for polarimetric camera SNY-XCG-CP510 

The exclusive Sony-developed polarised camera SDK SNY-XPL-SDKW is designed to be used with the SNY-XCG-CP510 polarimetric camera and will enable fast and simplified development of polarised-light applications for the camera to meet your solution demands.  

The XCG-CP510 and XPL-SDKW will therefore be well suited to deployment in significantly improving visibility and detection in a number of manufacturing and security/ITS applications like:
- Detection and measurement of stress in glass
- Detection and measurement of scratches.
- Vision and detection of objects after translucent media: glass, smoke, etc ...
- traffic supervision, security, surveillance
- defense
- Improvement of machine vision systems in general, in collaboration with visible systems, infrared or thermal / thermographic.

Some of the advantages of using the SDK together with the polarized camera, versus the pure Polarsens sensor without SDK, are due to the Sony proprietary algorithms. As developer and manufacturer of the sensor, it is Sony who can take more and better advantage of it, like for instance:
- interpolation of all pixels to achieve around 4MP optical resolution. (Others have only 1.3MP = Quarter Resolution)
- reflection removal and enhancement
- retardation (Stress measurement)
