Drones are evolving into intelligent aerial platforms, powered by advanced vision systems that enable real-time inspection, navigation, and data analysis. Equipped with cutting-edge CMOS sensors like Hyperlux LP, SG, LH, SWIR, and iToF AF013x, these systems deliver high-resolution imaging, fast frame rates, and exceptional low-light performance. Drones equipped with global shutter and high dynamic range capabilities can detect fine details, map 3D environments, and operate reliably in dynamic lighting.
From infrastructure monitoring to precision agriculture and autonomous flight, machine vision empowers drones to make accurate, data-driven decisions. The integration of SWIR and iToF technologies enhances depth perception, expanding operational versatility. With compact, power-efficient designs, onsemi’s sensor portfolio supports scalable drone vision solutions that meet the demands of modern aerial intelligence. With compact, power-efficient sensor designs from onsemi, drones can fly longer, see farther, and make smarter decisions - transforming operations in infrastructure, agriculture, logistics, and beyond.
The Hyperlux ID family revolutionizes iToF, extending distance measurements both indoors/outdoors, accurate depth on moving objects.
