The MU9 subminiature industrial camera line includes four models, all shipping in quantity today. The MU9PC_MBRD and MU9PM_MBRD cameras are board-level color and grayscale cameras, respectively, based on the APTINA MT9P031 2592 x 1944-pixel CMOS sensor with global shutter. The MU9PC_MH and MU9PM_MH cameras also use the APTINA sensor in both color and grayscale configurations but include a steel housing that increases the dimensions of the camera from the 15 x 15 x 3 mm board-level camera size to 16 x 16 x 13 mm with M12 lens mount. All of the MU9 cameras offer ~70 db of dynamic range with a signal-to-noise ratio of ~38 db, 5 V USB 2.0 data interface, and 2IN/2OUT general-purpose input/output for camera control and triggering. Color cameras use an RGB Bayer Matrix filter.
Connecting the MU9 series cameras to industrial data processing systems, OEM equipment, and PCs is greatly simplified with the inclusion of APIs for the most common image processing software, including programs such as VisionPro, MIL, LabVIEW, MVTec's Halcon, Tordivel's Scorpion Vision Software, OpenCV, AForge.Net, and many more.
