Image Quality and EMVA Data

Leveraging the camera's C-mount is essential for many vision applications. Our Basler camera delivers outstanding image quality with its high-resolution, square E2525A sensor, all at a competitive price.

Image comparison between camera with established sensor on the left and Basler camera on the right: field of view and image quality are comparable. — Left: Comparison camera with established sensor | Right: Basler camera with E2525A sensor

The image comparison demonstrates that our camera, featuring a 25 MP resolution and square 1.1" sensor format, performs just as well as a comparable camera with a well-established 25 MP sensor. The field of view and image quality, even in detailed views, are comparable.

Due to the significantly higher QE (quantum efficiency) of the E2525A sensor, the exposure time can be reduced compared to the reference sensor. This is especially important for low-light applications. For example, the E2525A sensor reaches an SNR1 (Signal-to-Noise Ratio = 1) at an illuminance of 1 lux with just a quarter of the exposure time.

	Comparison sensor	E2525A Sensor	Improvement
Quantum efficiency	51 %	66 %	30 %
Dark noise	3.7 e^-	2.5 e^-	32 %
Dynamic range	957 = 60 dB	2589 = 68 dB	170 %
Signal-to-noise ratio	65 = 36.30 dB	90 = 39.07 dB	38 %
Dark signal non-uniformity (DSNU) / Photon response non-uniformity (PRNU)	22 e^- / 2 %	0.3 e^- / 0.7 %	95 % / 65 %

The QE curves of the established comparison sensor (dark blue) and the E2525A sensor (light blue) demonstrate that the E2525A sensor in the Basler camera consistently offers a higher QE.

The EMVA data and the QE curve underline the outstanding performance of the E2525A sensor. All values show a significant improvement compared to the established comparison sensor.

Our camera excels with its high resolution, square sensor format, and compact design, all at a competitive price.
