The SC450AI can outrun the common 4MP image sensors on the market by 73% in SNR1s, and 3.7 times in light sensitivity. This expands the sensor’s capabilities when shooting in the dark. At the same time, the use of multiple exposure in combination with PixGain Technology in the daytime helped to expand the dynamic range compared to its types on the market by 6 dB. Therefore, these attributes are integrated to provide 24/7 smart solutions demanded for image recognition systems and surveillance applications. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1616746542449405361.jpg"/></div>The SC450AI surpasses many same products in producing high-quality images under a high-temperature (80℃) environment with 51% and 82% reductions in dark current and white pixel correspondingly compared to the same products. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1616747379348848748.jpg"/></div>James Ouyang, Deputy General Manager of SmartSens said that the SC450AI sensor was developed to “extend our AI Series into higher resolutions” and “serve as a smart eye to IoT devices”.
