What is the aspect ratio of the sensor of an industrial camera?

The aspect ratio of the photosensitive sensor of an industrial camera varies according to application requirements. Common ratios are as follows:

–1. 4:3

Application: General industrial inspection, monitoring.

Example size:

2/3 inch: 8.8mm × 6.6mm

1/2 inch: 6.4mm × 4.8mm

–2. 1:1 (square)

Application: Scenarios that require a symmetrical field of view, such as certain machine vision tasks.

Example size:

1 inch: 12.8mm × 12.8mm

—3. 16:9

Application: Video surveillance, wide field of view inspection.

Example size:

1/2.5 inch: 5.76mm × 3.24mm

–4. 3:2

Application: High-resolution imaging, precision measurement.

Example size:

APS-C: 23.6mm × 15.6mm

–5. 5:4

Application: Special industrial inspection, such as printed circuit board (PCB) inspection.

Example size:

1/1.8 inch: 7.2mm × 5.76mm

–6. Other ratios

17:9: high-end industrial cameras and movie cameras.

2:1: some special applications, such as wide-format scanning.

–Summary：

4:3: general industrial inspection, monitoring.

1:1: symmetrical field of view tasks.

16:9: video monitoring, wide field of view inspection.

3:2: high-resolution imaging, precision measurement.

5:4: special industrial inspection.

Others: 17:9, 2:1, etc., for special needs.

The choice should be based on the specific application scenario.
