Full description

A French company specialized in the development of fast cameras and software dedicated to motion analysis domain has developed a high speed camera for the capture of fast images and movements. This system, is a compact embedded system for motion analysis. The EyeCam system can detect marker placed on the body and calculate their position with high accuracy.

The device uses a fast CMOS sensor. It allows to do acquisitions up to 250fps with a 640x480 picture size(VGA). The other characteristics of this sensor are :
Parameters Values
Optical format 1/2 pouce
Active Pixels 640 (H) x 480 (V)
Pixel size 9.9 µm x 9.9 µm
Shutter type Electronic Snapshot
Maximum data rate 80 MPS/80 MHz
Frame rate 250fps (640x480)
ADC resolution 10-bit, on-chip
Responsivity 3200 V.m2/W.s
- 17 V/lux.a
Dynamic range 61 dB
Supply voltage Analog: 2.5V-3.3V
- Digital: 2.5V I/O:2.5V
Power comsuption 190 mWatt
Temperature Op -40°C to 70°C
Color filter array Mono RGB Bayer Pattern

Several systems could be plugged on the same PC, even a laptop, to obtain from 2 to 6 separated views of the same scene at 250 frames per second. A 3D recontruction of the movement is possible with this very portable multi-camera system. Thanks to the embedded picture compression inside the system, 6 cameras can be plugged at the same time on a single PC. Movement sofware allows to do a 3 dimensions reconstruction with all the fast video streams recorded with the EyeCam system. The company also develops its own software in order to manipulate and analyze the video clips obtained with the camera.

Innovative Aspects

" Real time picture compression
" Integrated light, red and near-infrared to improve markers detection accuracy
" FPGA component for embedded processing
" Using with a common laptop thanks to embedded processing
" Fast USB 2 streaming
" Up to 6 EyeCams connected to a common laptop

Partner expertise sought:

The company is looking for :
- industrial partners willing to integrate the technology for all troubleshooting matters in the mechanical industry
- partners working in the sports field where posture analysis is highly relevant (coaches, training facilities)
- research labs working on movement analysis for joint further developments
- companies in the medical field working on patients' rehabilitation for posture purposes who could bring their expertise for further development and new applications of the system.
