Secure M12 Connection Go the Distance The M12 Ethernet port on the Helios provides a secure and sturdy connection for reliable camera operations in demanding environments. Compact, easy integration, shock and vibration resistant. Not only does Ethernet allow for 100m cable lengths, it is also engineered to protect against EMI and crosstalk in industrial environments. 100m Cable Length

Sony DepthSense on Helios Camera backside-illuminated-cmos-for-banner CAPD produces a very high demodulating contrast. A high contrast ratio means more electrons are directed to the right junction, allowing for higher quality phase shift calculations. Sony’s BSI technology ensures the maximum amount of light reaches the photodiode. Traditional front-side CMOS sensors block some of the incoming light due to the placement of the wiring layer above the photodiode. Superior Depth Data Featuring Sony’s IMX556 DepthSense ToF sensor with CAPD and backside-illuminated (BSI) technology. Technologies that produce superior depth precision compared to existing ToF solutions on the market.

Helios-camera-icon near-mode working range Time of flight (tof) far working range Helios time of flight camera front 2 Modes for Maximum Control Far Mode: 0.3 - 6.0m This enhanced dual frequency mode provides maximum precision (least amount of temporal noise) for farther distances up to 6m at 15 FPS. Near Mode: 0.3 - 1.5m In near mode, Helios is calibrated to provide maximum accuracy of < 5mm over shorter distances at 30 FPS.

Fast On-Camera
Processing Reduce the need for expensive host system components thanks to Helios' on-camera processing. On-camera processing provides 3D coordinates, intensity, and confidence data which can produce live point cloud data. 3D images of PVC Pipes - Depth Image Scroll for more examples Point-cloud 3D images of cardboard boxes- Depth Image Onions 3D Point Cloud 3D images of onions - Depth Image

Easy 3D Controls

The Arena SDK includes easy to use controls for the Helios ToF camera. ArenaView allows for 2D and 3D views: 2D view allows one to see the intensity and depth of the scene from the camera’s perspective. 3D view displays a point cloud of the scene and allows users to manipulate the orientation in real-time. Additionally, settings can be changed in real-time such as false color overlay, depth range adjustments, out of range color settings and more.
