As the total number of pixels increases, the detail in the image or the field of view or both can be
increased. For wide angle lenses, rectilinear lenses increase the image resolution at the edges
of the image improving the possibility of detection and identification.

Improving Image Resolution with Wide Angle Lenses

Theia’s family of ultra wide angle lenses use patented Linear Optical Technology® to create ultra-wide fields of view and corrects barrel distortion, keeping straight lines straight in the image. The award-winning technology increases the resolution of the image at the edges and improves the probability of recognizing an object compared to traditional wide angle lenses, all without the need for de-warping software.

Theia Lens Catalog

heia Technologies’ MCR IQ™ Motor Control Board series and new MCR IQ™ application facilitate operation of Theia's motorized lenses, allowing users to control zoom, focus, P-iris, and optional IR filters. Theia’s motorized lenses are designed for use in high detail imaging tasks such as ANPR or OCR in intelligent traffic systems. The motor control boards include the MCR IQ™ application with graphical user interface (GUI) and Python module to easily send and receive commands from the board for rap

Theia Motor Control Board specifications

Theia’s motorized lenses are designed for integration into cameras for automation, robotics, and video surveillance applications and require motor drivers and controllers. The lenses are suitable for remote set up and occasional zooming and re-focus, but are not intended for continuous use of the motors as in PTZ applications.

Theia Motorized Lenses Spec sheet

Theia Technologies applies American innovation and ingenuity to deliver high performance precision optics to meet the exacting requirements of machine vision, automation, robotics, intelligent transportation, security and other industrial imaging applications. Theia’s compact, multi-megapixel telephoto lenses are routinely selected by companies worldwide for ANPR, LPR, tolling and other ITS applications to provide high image detail in both visible and NIR light.

Theia Technologies Company Profile

Theia’s compact, 5mpx & 4K telephoto lenses are used by companies worldwide for ANPR, LPR and other ITS applications to provide high image detail in both visible and NIR light. Our portfolio includes 4k lenses with manual & motorized options for a variety of formats and mounts and rectilinear lenses using patented Linear Optical Technology® to provide an ultra-wide FOV without barrel distortion, correcting distortion optically, without software and improving image resolution at the edge.

Theia Technologies

Theia's telephoto varifocal lenses allow the user to optimize the field of view to zoom in on an area of interest far away (during camera setup). The multi megapixel resolution lenses support 4K resolution cameras with 4K compatible lenses and true 4K resolution (12 megapixels) lenses for 1/2.3" and 1/1.7" sensors. These telephotos allow the user to optimize the field of view with 4X zoom capability and then digitally zoom in up to 16X while still maintaining better than SD image resolution. The lenses are IR corrected for use with true Day/Night cameras giving a bright image in both visible and artificial IR illumination. This IR correction will keep the image sharp in daylight, at night, and in between when there is a mix of visible and IR illumination without the need for a camera with automatic back focus adjustment (the lens will work great on cameras that support auto back focus adjustment and those true Day/Night cameras that do not). 9-36mm, 9-40mm and 12-50mm focal ranges 4K & 4K compatible resolutions – 12 megapixel, 300 lp/mm Near IR corrected for multi-spectral and Day/Night applications Manual, P-iris and DC auto-iris versions For 1/1.7”, 1/2.3” and smaller image sensor formats In CS, and D25 board mounts, depending on models Fully motorized versions available

In the field of automotive crash testing, high-speed cameras are crucial for capturing and analyzing the dynamics of impact. Imaging systems require a variety of features to not only withstand violent environments, but also capture crisp, clear images often in tight spaces, with the precision needed for accurate crash observation. That’s where Theia Technologies’ lenses with patented Linear Optical Technology comes in. Theia’s lenses with patented distortion technology have consistently been chosen for their unparalleled wide fields of view and very low barrel distortion. Theia’s ML183M lens with a 1.8 – 3mm focal range offering up to 120° horizontal field of view with less than 1% barrel distortion and 5+ megapixel resolution has found a home in vehicle crash testing since 2018. And their newest MY23F lens improves upon these features by adding ruggedization that allows it to survive impact at 50 miles per hour, while capturing high resolution, wide angle, and undistorted images of vehicle impact.
