Color, zoom lens, easy set up, and optimized traffic performance accuracy in an economical Autoscope Image Sensor.
The Autoscope Image Sensor (AIS) is a high-resolution, color image sensor, especially optimized as a video source for the Autoscope stand-alone Machine Vision Processor (MVP) product suite.
The Autoscope Image Sensor produces consistent video quality in all weather, lighting, and traffic congestion levels common to the traffic industry. The image sensor provides accurate vehicle detection at night and other times of low light levels. The solid-state design provides maximum hardware reliability and consistent 24-hour operation. The color image sensor minimizes streaking and blooming from bright light sources like headlights and wet pavement that could adversely affect detection performance.
During setup, the 22x zoom auto-iris lens quickly adjusts to a field-of-view best suited for the detection objectives. A coax modem used with a laptop computer adjusts the zoom. Control of the zoom is over the coax cable.
A sealed and optionally pressurized barrel protects the image sensor against the demands of extreme outdoor environments. An adjustable weather shield helps minimize rain, snow and ice on the heated faceplate, reducing glare and improving video contrast. The barrel may be rotated to achieve the best possible field-of-view for detection accuracy.
A variety of available mounting brackets allow easy installation of the Autoscope Image Sensor on existing poles, mast arms, or other structures. The unique bracket design speeds installation by minimizing loose parts and eliminating steps in the setup process.
