OmniVision’s OH02A1S is the world’s first RGB-IR medical image
sensor, providing simultaneous white-light RGB captures and
infrared monochrome captures in a single CMOS sensor for
cancer diagnosis and treatment. While endoscopic precancer and
cancer detection procedures are performed using IR light,
surgeons also need RGB light to confirm any abnormalities
detected using infrared. Previously, this could only be
accomplished by integrating two independent imager sensors,
which resulted in endoscopes with a larger size, higher cost and
higher power consumption, thereby excessively heating the tip of
the endoscope.
With the OH02A1S, both IR and RGB images can now be captured
using a single chip, allowing the surgeon to switch between high
quality RGB and IR in real time, or to display both images
simultaneously on one (overlay) or two (side-by-side) monitors.
Additionally, the smaller size and reduced heat allow the
endoscope to reach much farther into the body than was
previously possible with larger-outer-diameter, two-imager
designs. Alternatively, designers can use the extra space to add
more or larger illumination (fiber or LED), or a larger working
channel for endoscopic tools.
The OH02A1S image sensor is available today in an RW package
and the chip-scale package will be available based on project
demand.
Built on OmniVision’s PureCel® pixel architecture, the OH02A1S
offers 4x4 binning for the highest image quality, high quantum
efficiency for excellent low-light performance, and a high
dynamic range for clarity in scenes with widely contrasting bright
and dark areas. The sensor can provide 1080p (1920x1080)
resolution at 60 frames per second (fps) or 720p (1280x720) at
90 fps, via a 2-lane MIPI serial output. The OH02A1S also
integrates 2 kilobits of one-time programmable memory on-chip.
It consumes just 90 milliwatts at full power, generating less heat
for greater patient comfort.
