About Spheron
Spheron GmbH develops digital spherical panoramic cameras and associated software for capturing and managing high-resolution 360° HDR image data. The current system SceneCam 3 delivers resolutions from 72 Mpix to 1.152 Gpix with a dynamic range of up to 40 f-stops; captures are taken in 5–15 seconds. From the image data, colored, measurable 3D models are generated via photogrammetry, optionally integrable with LiDAR data. The product family includes the SceneCam 3 and SceneCam 2.0 cameras with ScanLight attachment as well as the SceneCenter visual data management software for digital twins. Fields of application include CGI/VFX and games, film production, forensics and crime scene documentation, architecture, industry and plant engineering, insurance, and academic education. Based in Waldfischbach-Burgalben with an office in Münster, the company states it has around 25 years of experience in the development of digital panoramic cameras and is part of the XIMEA family.

Technologies & Processes
360° HDR spherical photography
Capture of full-spherical images with a dynamic range of up to 40 f-stops, from absolute darkness to bright ambient light.
Photogrammetry
Generation of detailed, colored 3D models with direct high-precision measurement as an alternative to laser scanners.
LiDAR data integration
Can be combined with LiDAR systems via collimation distance pieces for large-area projects.
Digital Twin (SceneCenter)
Visual data management with GIS/GPS integration, dollhouse view, and real-time collaboration.
On-camera AI / Spheron API
Execution of AI models directly on the camera platform for content-based selection and processing.
