Intersil Corporation is a US manufacturer of analogue, mixed signal and power management semiconductors. The company at IFSEC announced a new fisheye image correction technology.
This proprietary technology provides real-time correction of distorted video images generated by a fisheye lensโ ultra-wide field of view, and delivers corrected images in a normalised rectangular output.
This new technology integrates a high definition Image Signal Processor (ISP), delivering a single HD resolution video output and up to four standard definition video outputs. The technology is compatible with all types of fisheye lenses and enables a single fisheye camera to replace four existing cameras. In automotive applications, the technology enables a wide angle, panoramic camera to provide a viewing angle up to 180 degrees.
For the security market, the technology incorporates a motion detection engine along with digital pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) functionality. This allows users to pan, tilt and zoom while removing blind spots and eliminating reliability challenges associated with conventional mechanical PTZ camera systems. The technology offers a wide variety of viewing options โ including panorama and four window display modes — providing versatility in how the corrected images are displayed.
Unlike software-based solutions requiring a PC, this technology has been designed the firm says to be integrated into IP and analogue cameras. Intersil is sampling this technology to select customers, and plans to introduce an IC based upon these capabilities in the near future. For more information – visit –
