6 terms

cmos sensor technical

"Perciva 5D generates 2D and 3D data from a single CMOS sensor, free from optical occlusion"

A CMOS sensor is the light-detecting chip inside digital cameras and camera-equipped devices that converts incoming light into an electronic signal, similar to how the retina in an eye captures a scene. Investors care because its quality, cost, power use and manufacturing process directly affect the performance and price of products from smartphones to cars, influencing sales, margins and competitive advantage in hardware markets.

neural processing unit technical

"Perciva 5D also features a powerful Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enabling Artificial Intelligence"

A neural processing unit is a specialized computer chip designed to run artificial intelligence tasks — especially the kind of math used in neural networks — much faster and using less power than a regular processor. For investors, NPUs matter because they can enable products to deliver smarter features, lower energy costs, and better performance, which can drive sales, reduce operating expenses, and create a competitive edge in AI-driven markets.

genicam technical

"plug-and-play integration through its GenICam-compliant, GigE Vision interface"

GenICam is an industry standard that defines how industrial and scientific cameras describe their features and how software talks to them, so cameras from different makers can work with the same programs. For investors, widespread GenICam support means a company’s imaging products are easier to integrate, sell, and scale across customers and systems, lowering adoption friction and commercial risk much like a universal plug that fits many devices.

gige vision technical

"GenICam-compliant, GigE Vision interface and robust IP6x-rated housing"

GigE Vision is an industry standard that lets high-performance cameras send large amounts of image and video data over ordinary Ethernet (network) cables. Think of it as a wide, reliable highway that moves camera pictures quickly and in a consistent format so different devices and software can work together. Investors care because it lowers integration costs, speeds deployment of automation and imaging systems, and can expand markets for companies that make industrial cameras, medical scanners, and machine-vision software.

ip6x technical

"GigE Vision interface and robust IP6x-rated housing with industrial M12 connectors"

IP6X is part of the international IP (Ingress Protection) rating system where the first digit “6” means a device is completely protected against dust and fine particles — effectively dust‑tight. For investors, an IP6X rating signals that a product is built to withstand harsh, dusty environments (think a sealed jar protecting contents), which can reduce warranty claims, broaden market use cases, and support reliability claims in industrial or outdoor markets.

point-cloud technical

"users benefit from immediate depth maps or point-cloud outputs"

A point cloud is a digital collection of many individual dots that record the shape and position of objects or environments, usually captured by lasers, radar, or depth cameras. Like a 3D connect‑the‑dots picture, point clouds let software and machines recreate real spaces for mapping, inspection, robotics and autonomous vehicles, so improvements or wider adoption can directly influence companies and markets that rely on spatial sensing and data processing.

GRENOBLE, France, March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies [NYSE: TDY] company and global innovator of imaging solutions, announces the launch of the Perciva™ 5D camera, a breakthrough imaging innovation designed to make high-quality short-range 3D vision cost-effective, reliable, and easy to integrate.

Most industrial cameras only capture 2D images, yet many applications increasingly require depth perception at close and very-close distances. Perciva 5D delivers this capability through a unique Angular Sensitive Pixel technology and advanced on-board processing, enabling real-time 2D and 3D image fusion at the calibrated working distance range. Perciva 5D also features a powerful Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enabling Artificial Intelligence models to run on-device and be customized to each customer’s specific requirements.

Perciva 5D generates 2D and 3D data from a single CMOS sensor, free from optical occlusion, producing time-aligned 2D frames alongside pixel-aligned 3D depth maps. With comprehensive 3D processing built directly into the camera, users benefit from immediate depth maps or point-cloud outputs. Perciva 5D operates using ambient light, indoors or outdoors, eliminating the need for an external NIR source while maintaining reliable performance and minimizing overall system costs. Designed for challenging environments, it offers plug-and-play integration through its GenICam-compliant, GigE Vision interface and robust IP6x-rated housing with industrial M12 connectors.

Factory calibrated and weighing just 230 grams, Perciva 5D operates at less than 5 W, and is ideal for robotics (arms, cobots and humanoids), retail self-checkout solutions, and 3D industrial process monitoring. It supports user-adjustable frame rates or triggered acquisition and multiple power options. Using GenDC / GenTL the camera integrates seamlessly with Teledyne’s Spinnaker® 4 API and SpinView® for 2D / 3D visualisation, as well as leading machine-vision software platforms.

Perciva 5D will be showcased during Embedded World, Nuremberg, Germany, from 10-12 March 2026. Visit Teledyne at stand 2-541 in Hall 2 or contact us online for more information.

Documentation, samples, and software for evaluation or development are available upon request.
