The latest HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature integrated into the Basler blaze 3D time-of-flight camera enables precise detection and processing of both low-reflectivity and highly reflective areas within a scene. This capability allows simultaneous imaging from extremely bright and dark regions, ensuring accurate results regardless of reflectance or distance. The update is included in the newest blaze firmware release, which is available for free download.

How HDR Dual Exposure Works

HDR Dual Exposure operates by combining two differently exposed images: one captured with a short exposure time (100 µs) and another with a longer exposure time (1000 µs). The data from both exposures are merged to generate a detailed 3D point cloud. This approach effectively balances the imaging of close, bright objects alongside distant, dark ones, resulting in comprehensive scene representation without loss of detail.

Availability and Further Information

The HDR feature is part of the latest blaze firmware update and can be downloaded at no cost.
