IDS Unveils uEye EVS: High-Speed Industrial Camera Powered by Prophesee Event-Based Vision
New uEye EVS camera integrates the Prophesee-Sony IMX636 sensor, enabling ultra-fast, efficient machine vision with event-based sensing.

Thanks to the event-based sensor technology, uEye EVS cameras only capture relevant changes in the image.
IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH, market leader in industrial machine vision, and Prophesee SA, inventor of the most advanced neuromorphic vision systems, announced that IDS’ new uEye EVS camera line incorporates the high-speed, dynamic range and data efficiency of the Prophesee-Sony IMX636HD event-based vision sensor to offer new capabilities for industrial machine vision applications.
The result of extensive collaboration between the two companies, the solution features Prophesee’s proven neuromorphic approach to capturing fast-moving objects with significantly less data processing, power and blur than traditional frame-based methods. With these capabilities, the uEye EVS camera is the ideal solution for applications that require real-time machine vision processing at very high speed, such as optical monitoring of vibrations or high-speed motion analyses.
The camera benefits from Prophesee’s event-based vision’s ability to capture only relevant events in a scene. In contrast to conventional image sensors, it does not capture every image completely at regular intervals (frames) but only reacts to changes within a scene. It transmits events depending on when and where the brightness in its field of view changes - for each individual sensor pixel. The temporal resolution, i.e. the minimum measurable time difference between two successive changes in brightness, can be less than 100 microseconds.

The sensor is supported by Metavision SDK, a seamlessly integrated suite of software tools and models, APIs, and other training and development resources from Prophesee for efficient evaluation, visualization, and customization.
