Vision Award 2018
Award-winning high-resolution 3D camera
The winner of this year's Vision Award innovation competition is the Slovakian company Photoneo. The award is endowed with 5000 euros.
The world's highest resolution and most precise area-based 3D camera 'PhoXi 3D' is based on Photoneo's patented 'Parallel Structured Light' technology, which is implemented by a proprietary CMOS image sensor. The technology enables users to capture moving objects at a maximum speed of 40 m/s with high image accuracy. Thanks to depth coding technology with true pixel measurement, the camera achieves a resolution and accuracy ten times higher than competing technologies.
The Vision Award jury based its decision to name Photoneo the winner of the award on the high technological standards and excellent level of innovation of the submission, which demonstrates a completely new approach to the 3D capture of moving objects.
The start-up Photoneo was founded in 2013 with the idea of revolutionizing 3D vision technology. Within just a few years, the initial team of four developed into a company with almost 80 employees and a broad network of distributors and certified integrators worldwide. Today, the product portfolio includes hardware such as the 'PhoXi 3D' scanner family, the 'PhoXi 3D' camera and the autonomous mobile robot 'Phollower 100', as well as various software applications for bin picking.
