Odos Imaging has won the Vision Award 2014. Te Scottish-based company’s 3D imaging time- of-flight system won out over five other shortlisted entries. Imaging and Machine Vision Europe (IMVE) sponsors the €5,000 prize and Warren Clark, IMVE’s publishing director, presented the award to Chris Yates, CEO of Odos at the Vision Show in Stuttgart on 4 November. Speaking to Imaging and Machine Vision
Europe, Yates commented: ‘Winning the Vision 2014 Award is an exceptional honour, and provides a huge boost to the entire team at Odos Imaging, all who have worked tirelessly over the past two years to transform nascent technology into a robust product for the industrial market.’ Odos Imaging’s 3D systems are based on pulsed
time-of-flight technology. Te current model is the Real.iZ-1K (1.3 megapixel), with the Real.iZ-4K (4.2 megapixel) due to be released in 2015. Each pixel making up the sensor can be used to measure both ambient light and range, allowing the systems to generate separate images of the scene in both range and intensity modes. Te system includes all the features of a
of machine vision solutions, a fact that I am sure was recognised by the jury in selecting Odos Imaging for the 2014 Vision award.’ Time-of-flight works by measuring the time
taken for light to travel from the source, be reflected by an obstruction, and return to a sensor. Tis is used to calculate the distance from the device. Yates said that while many products have been
developed for a wide variety of applications using this principle, the results obtained are typically single-point measurements, and oſten provide a series of distance slices similar to that of a laser scanner. In contrast, Odos’ system, the Real.iZ VS-1000,

conventional machine vision camera, with the additional benefit of individual pixel range measurements. Yates said about the company’s approach to
time-of-flight: ‘New technical approaches can oſten bring substantial benefits to the whole market, by expanding the range and applications

collects a complete image of the scene. By using pulsed light which illuminates the entire scene, the company was free to use relatively simple pixels for the sensor. Tis means both range and intensity images can be created, as Yates explained: ‘Smaller pixels allow higher-resolution image sensors suitable for 3D imaging to be
designed and fabricated. At the same time, a more conventional pixel design provides the possibility to operate as a standard machine-vision camera and capture intensity images. ‘Tis new capability opens the door to new
applications for machine vision. Neither the range nor the intensity image is primary; either or both can be used depending on the application requirements.’
