uEye XCP-E | XLS-E EVS Event Camera
Industrial cameras with event-based vision sensors for less data, more speed, and more accuracy
Launched by IDS in cooperation with Sony and Prophesee, the EVS event camera is equipped with event-based sensors that recognize only the contrast changes of each sensor pixel, which are transmitted in real time as independent events, while static data is completely omitted, allowing for extremely fast detection processes, high dynamic range, direct access to the results instead of the raw data, and high data processing throughput. The data is processed in a small amount, efficiently and accurately. It is very suitable for a variety of applications in the industrial field, such as high-speed moving object counting and inspection, equipment vibration monitoring, motion monitoring and analysis, and image recognition.

Event-based visual sensors (EVS)
Event Based Technical Principles
Only detects pixel variations:Developed by iDS, Sony and Prophesee, unlike traditional frame-based industrial cameras that generate complete megapixel image data, the uEye EVS recognizes only the relative change in pixels per sensor. This means it can capture the trajectory of moving objects with very high temporal resolution, no longer capturing static and irrelevant backgrounds, and with 10 to 1,000 times less data than frame-based image sensors.
Event Generation and Scene Driving Features:1280 x 720 asynchronous intelligent pixel events with 1µs time resolution for high-speed imaging at 10,000 frames per second.
Adapts to changes in extreme light:No exposure time is required, capturing dynamic scenes without blurring with 120dB high dynamic range and 40mlux high sensitivity, pre-sorting at the pixel level, speed and robustness to complex lighting conditions, and motion understanding.
System power consumption and computing power requirements are minimal:Based on the neuromimetic vision technology, the energy consumption and computational power requirements of the machine are greatly reduced, with average energy consumption in the mW range.

SuperSpeed USB3 camera with Micro-B connector, with or without C/CS or S-mount lens mount, can be combined with Metavision SDK software for recognizing processing systems.
Product Composition and Core Strengths
Product component and core advantages
With a temporal resolution of less than 1μs, uEye EVS captures extremely fast motion without motion blur and eliminates "blind spots" between images at a frame rate of over 10,000 FPS.
The uEye EVS utilizes Sony's IMX636 pixel technology, which recognizes contrast changes at 0.08 lux in near-lightless environments, and logarithmically handles high light values. uEye EVS surpasses the sensitivity of traditional image sensors in extremely bright scenes, providing clear images in both bright and dark environments.
Inspired by human vision, Sony and Prophesee's neuromorphic sensing technology captures only pixel motion, transmits the data with attached coordinates and timestamps, and outputs usable results directly instead of raw pixel brightness values.
uEye EVS captures only dynamic changes and ignores static areas, significantly reducing the amount of data to be processed and saving memory and computation time compared to traditional image cameras.

Vibration monitoring applications for industrial equipment
Customer Needs:Vibration monitoring of industrial equipment (e.g., large machinery, fans, pumps) is crucial for predictive maintenance. Traditional frame-based cameras have three major limitations: (1) insufficient frame rate leads to loss of high-frequency vibration signals (affecting the accuracy of fault diagnosis); (2) high frame rate generates massive amounts of data (increasing storage/processing costs and system complexity); (3) reduced imaging quality in complex lighting environments (decreasing the reliability of monitoring).
Solution:The event camera continuously monitors vibration frequency through pixel-level tracking (recording coordinates/polarity/timestamps), analyzes vibration patterns in real time, detects anomalies at an early stage and supports predictive maintenance, reduces downtime and spare parts costs, and improves equipment reliability.
More application examples:
- High Speed Counter
- Analyze the frequency and mode of vibration
- Ultra-slow motion for analyzing the finest motion dynamics.

Particle/object size monitoring and high-speed counting
Customer Needs:On production lines in manufacturing industries, such as electronic component production, pharmaceutical industry, food processing, etc., there is a need for precise size control, real-time technology and measurement of objects moving at high speeds in channels or conveyor belts, such as ensuring that the dimensions of parts are in accordance with standards, or strictly monitoring the size of pharmaceutical pills. Conventional measurement and counting methods may have problems such as slow measurement speed, lack of accuracy, and inability to process in real time.
Solution:Event vision sensors with high temporal resolution and dynamic range, the sensor can accurately measure the dimensions of individual objects on a high-speed production line and provide real-time quality statistics and counting information during the production process, helping customers to detect dimensional deviations and quantitative discrepancies in a timely manner to ensure product quality and production efficiency.

Plume/Fluid Dynamics Monitoring
Customer Needs:In industries such as food and beverage production, oil and gas transportation, and biotechnology manufacturing, there is a need for real-time monitoring of continuous liquid flow, as well as the detection of abnormal fluid dynamics due to residue buildup, spot contaminants, or unwanted air or air bubbles, such as ensuring the accuracy and stability of liquid filling, and monitoring the state of the oil stream to prevent leakage and clogging. Traditional monitoring methods often rely on chemical analysis, which has a slow response time and cannot meet the demands of real-time production monitoring.
Solution:Event-based optical flow technology enables real-time fluid monitoring, providing immediate feedback on fluid health and behavior by analyzing light change events during fluid flow. The method quickly identifies process interruptions that affect yield without waiting for chemical analysis.

Followed by EDGELET
Customer Needs:In the fields of 3D modeling, VR, AR application development, and industrial inspection, it is necessary to accurately track the edge characteristics of objects. For example, accurately capturing the edges of objects to generate highly accurate models, and real-time tracking of baseline markers in the environment to realize the fusion of virtual and real. Customers need a solution that can improve the accuracy and robustness of edge tracking applications. Traditional edge tracking methods may be affected by factors such as light variations and motion blur, resulting in reduced tracking accuracy.
Solution:The Event Camera has a high temporal resolution and is capable of accurately capturing events that change the edge of an object. By tracking 3D edges and datum markers in AR/VR applications, the sensor provides more accurate and stable edge tracking data, maintaining high accuracy even in complex environments.
