The Firefly® MV camera is an extremely small and inexpensive digital camera that uses a 1/3” wide-VGA CMOS sensor with global shutter to provide near-IR performance at fast frame rates. Configuration options include a choice of 400 Mb/s IEEE 1394 or 480 Mb/s hi-speed USB 2.0 digital interface, board-level or housed form factor, and M12 microlens or C/CS lens mount. Ten different models are designed to address a wide variety of imaging applications, such as object and gesture tracking, optical character recognition (OCR), augmented reality, and multitouch interface technology.
