Get more out of the light. Discover the new dual-USB3 polarization camera from Alkeria. Standard digital monochrome sensors capture light intensity and wavelength for each pixel: however, some applications require the inspection of polarized light to get relevant information. Instead of using external polarizing filters, Alkeria developed CELERA P, a new camera model featuring a special polarization image sensor. Thanks to its unique array of polarizer filters overlaid on top of the sensor's pixel array, CELERA P gets rid of all the external polarizing filters, combining the ease-of-use of the Alkeria USB3 cameras with the advanced capabilities of polarization imaging and unique FusionView feature. Based on the dual-USB3 platform of CELERA cameras, CELERA P is capable of reaching up to 152 fps while processing something like ~200 million vectors per second. Thanks to its powerful FPGA architecture in fact, CELERA P can execute polarization detection directly on-board, without overloading the computer. WHY POLARIZED LIGHT? Light is an electromagnetic radiation characterized by its intensity, frequency, propagation direction and polarization. The latter expresses geometrical properties of the wave oscillation: a light wave oscillating in a single plane is said to be linearly polarized. Polarized light is essential in all those applications where you need to inspect objects made on transparent or highly reflective surfaces, such as glass, plastic or metal. In these cases you can reduce reflections by filtering all the unnecessary light waves, picking only the essential information from selected polarization angles.
