Polarization Image Sensor Technology (Sony Polarsens) – How does it work?
Sony Semiconductor Solutions announced the launch of their new IMX250MZR/MYR polarization image sensor in late 2018. This 5.07 Megapixel chip features a four-directional polarizer, which is formed on the photodiode of the image sensor chip. It was designed to capture information that cannot be detected by a normal image sensor in industrial applications such as glass inspection, tablet filling inspection, distortion inspection, and reflection removal. Sony is also planning to release the 12.37 Megapixel IMX253MZR/MYR polarized image sensor in Q3-2019.
