Why To Select Eye2Drive Sensors?

Adaptive HDR

Using the EYE2DRIVE imaging sensor, High Dynamic Range (HDR) can be dynamically tuned from standard low to very high, giving the best tradeoff against contrast.

Tuned Sensitivity

If the lighting is low in the current context, EYE2DRIVE’s imaging sensor can increase the sensitivity in real time, providing the critical and reliable information needed.

No Artefacts

Get rid of flickering and ghosting! Everything is native in a single image, which means zero data payload and no artifacts or ghosting when moving objects are involved.

Low Power

The EYE2DRIVE’s E2D-1080 imaging sensor has been built around the standard linear pixel and is designed for low-power applications such as autonomous car navigation systems.

United States Patent Office

Patent US9918026

Photodetector device for electro-optical sensors with variable light dynamics

The EYE2DRIVE’s patent US9918026, also registered as WO2013046003, EP2761657, and ITUD20110149, has been officially registered with the United States of America Patent Office. It was filed in 2012. It describes a mechanism for photodetection in electro-optical sensors. It has a pixel that can convert light into voltage output. The mechanism has a system for charge dissipation and a specialized circuit to regulate the reset voltage. This regulation circuit is designed to connect the reset terminal and the externally programmable reference terminal alternately. Moreover, it can be used by multiple pixels simultaneously, which enhances the device’s functionality and flexibility in capturing light information.

European Patent Office

EP4154517.A1

Multi-dynamic vision sensor

The EYE2DRIVE’s patent EP4154517 also registered as WO2021234566, has been officially registered with the European Patent Office. It describes an electro-optical image acquisition device with multiple light-sensing sub-blocks. It uses pixel discharge control circuitry to create a range of reset curves that are dynamically selected for each photosensitive element. This approach captures “multi-dynamic” images with varying light dynamics, enhancing image quality and facilitating advanced information extraction. The patent highlights a method that applies reset curves line by line, ensuring operation under any lighting condition.
