xposure - Multiple Xposure

The Multiple Xposure (MX) method provides for optimized sensitivity and low noise at very high line rates. Therefore the features of CMOS area image sensors and high-end FPGAs are exploited.

• Color high speed line scan camera with high resolution
• Twice as much color information as area scan cameras with Bayer matrix
• Variable exposure time (electronic shutter)
• No pixel blooming (CMOS technology)
• Read-out of arbitrary areas of the area image sensor (electronic adjustment)

In conjunction with an high end field programmable gate array (FPGA), several time-delayed images of one and the same object point can now be exposed and read out. Appropriate processing in the FPGA allows them to be accumulated synchronously to object movement.

The number of accumulations corresponds to the MX stages. The currect xposure cameras support MX as follows:

color (xposure 1300c, 4000c)	1 to 8 MX stages
monochrom (xposure 1300m, 4000m)	2 to 16 MX stages
