The C5 Sensor Algorithms
The C5 series can be operated both in a variety of 3D profile modes and in image mode.
The current operation mode can be chosen by setting the following parameter:
Camera Controls→ ModeAndAlgorithmControls→CameraMode.
The frame rate can be increased in all camera modes by reducing the AOI size. In the
image mode the frame rate is limited by the output rate of the camera interface (GigE).
However, due to reduced data size in profile mode the frame rate is limited only by the
sensor output rate. As a matter of principle the processing speed is independent of the
chosen profile mode and is determined by the AOI size.
In all profile modes only intensity values higher than the AOI intensity threshold AOI_TRSH
are processed in order to suppress weak signal noise. In case that no position value can
be found, e.g. no intensity value is higher than threshold, the position value 0 is returned.
The Image Mode (IMG)
In the image mode the C5 camera series is operated similar to a standard CMOS camera.
In this mode grey scale data of 8 or 10 bit resolution are acquired over the camera
interface. Furthermore, the sensor can be divided into multiple regions, whose data can
be summarised in one output frame.
