Differentiated camera modules, tailor-made field-of-view solutions for customers
In today's intelligent and digital era, camera modules, as the core component of visual perception, have been widely used in security monitoring, smart home, industrial inspection, automotive electronics, consumer electronics and other fields. However, different application scenarios have very different requirements for the field of view (FOV) of cameras. As a leading company dedicated to providing customers with high-quality, customised camera modules, Austar understands the importance of FOV in imaging results. Through differentiated product design and flexible technical support, we provide our customers with the most suitable camera module solutions for their application scenarios.
Camera modules with different FOV (Field of View) are suitable for different application scenarios due to their different range of viewing angles. Below is a list of common FOV classifications and their differences in typical application scenarios:
1. Narrow FOV (Narrow FOV)
Range: usually less than 50°.
Characteristics:
Narrower field of view, suitable for photographing objects at long distances.
Provides higher detail resolution and magnification.
Application Scenario:
Security Surveillance: used to monitor long-distance targets, such as borders, airports, etc.
Industrial Inspection: Used to inspect tiny details, such as circuit boards, precision parts.
Astrophotography: for photographing long-distance celestial objects.
Telephoto Photography: Used to photograph long-distance scenes, such as wild animals, sports events.
2. Standard Field of View (Standard FOV)
Range: usually between 50° and 70°.
Characteristics:
The angle of view is close to the range of human eye's field of view, and the image is less distorted.
Suitable for most daily shooting scenes.
Application Scenarios:
Smart terminal camera: used for daily photo taking and video recording.
Car camera: for car recorder or rear view camera.
Video conferencing: to provide a natural range of viewing angles.
General Surveillance: Used for small to medium range surveillance in homes, shops, etc.
3. Wide Field of View (Wide FOV)
Range: usually between 70° and 120°.
Features:
Wide viewing angle, suitable for shooting a wide range of scenes. There may be some distortion at the edges.
Application Scenarios:
Indoor surveillance: to cover larger areas such as conference rooms, warehouses.
Sports Camera: for shooting extreme sports or large scene activities.
Drone Photography: Capture vast landscapes.
4. Ultra-Wide Field of View (Ultra-Wide FOV)
Range: usually greater than 120°.
Features:
The angle of view is very wide, suitable for capturing a large range of scenes. Edge distortion is more pronounced and may require software correction.
Application Scenario:
Panoramic surveillance: used to cover very large areas, such as plazas and car parks.
Virtual Reality (VR): to provide an immersive view.
Special photography: e.g. architectural photography, landscape photography.
Car surround view system: for 360° panoramic images.
5. Fisheye Field of View (FOV)
Range: usually greater than 180°.
Features:
Extremely wide viewing angle, covering almost the entire hemisphere. Image distortion is severe and usually requires software correction.
Application Scenario:
Panoramic Surveillance: for dead-angle-free surveillance, such as ceiling mounting.
Creative Photography: for artistic effect photography.
Virtual Reality (VR): to provide a full-view experience.
Car Surround View System: Used to achieve 360° dead-angle-free images.
Austar deeply understands these differences and uses them as a starting point to provide customers with a diverse selection of camera modules.
Austar's differentiators
Full range of field of view coverage
We offer a full range of camera modules from narrow field of view to fisheye field of view, covering narrow angles of view below 50°, standard angles of view from 50°-70°, wide angles of view from 70°-120°, ultra-wide angles of view above 120°, and fisheye angles of view above 180°. Whether it's long-distance surveillance or panoramic shots, Austar has you covered.
Customised Design
Austar understands that every customer's application scenario is unique. We not only provide standardised camera modules, but also support customised design according to customers' special needs.
High Performance Image Processing
Our camera modules integrate a high-performance Image Signal Processor (ISP), which is able to optimize the processing of raw image data, including de-mosaicing, noise reduction, automatic white balance, colour correction, etc., ensuring high-quality image output at different field of view angles.
Rich Industry Experience
Austar has many years of technology accumulation and industry experience in the field of camera modules. We work closely with the world's leading sensor suppliers, lens manufacturers and algorithm companies to ensure that each product has excellent performance and reliability.
At Austar, we are always customer-focused and dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality camera module solutions. Whether it is a standard product or a customised design, we will help our customers succeed in their respective fields with our professional technology, strict quality control and efficient delivery capabilities.
If you are looking for a camera module that can meet the needs of a specific application, welcome to contact Austar. We will customise the most suitable field of view solution according to your needs, and together we will open a new chapter of visual perception!
