Yesterday, Sony just announced the release of the new IMX382 high-speed vision sensor, which enables detection and tracking of objects at 1,000 frames per second. Above is the video sample shows how this high-speed vision sensor works, it is really amazing.
If upcoming high-end Sony a9R and a9S full frame mirrorless cameras use similar tech as this sensor, that will be great.
Main features:
- 1. Enables detection and tracking of targets at 1,000 frame per second
- 2. Built-in sensing function for a compact system and power savings
- 3. Evaluation kit allows the sensor to be evaluated in diverse usage environments
