About XIMEA
The xiMU range packages USB3 cameras into bodies as small as roughly 15 × 15 millimetres and below five grams, fitting drones, robot heads and compact embedded-vision systems. xiQ cameras provide high-speed global-shutter capture, with selected models reaching very high frame rates through reduced regions of interest.
For larger data volumes, xiB cameras transfer images directly over PCIe from high-resolution sensors. XIMEA supplies synchronisation, trigger, SDK and multi-camera support across its ranges, allowing integrators to build measurement, inspection and robotic-perception systems around a common software environment.

Timeline
Events
- 2025-03-18 - Product Launch - XIMEA introduces 245-megapixel MX2457 camera
The MX2457 uses Sony's backside-illuminated IMX811 medium-format sensor. Its 19,200 by 12,800 effective resolution supports detailed surface inspection, mapping and videogrammetry. A PCIe interface transfers high-resolution image data for demanding industrial and scientific workloads.
Source - 2023-11-23 - Product Launch - XIMEA expands xiMU miniature camera family
The MU050 and MU051 use Sony IMX675 and IMX568 sensors, while the MU196 uses the onsemi AR2020. The models span roughly 5 to 19.6 megapixels in the same miniature camera format. XIMEA targeted embedded industrial and scientific applications requiring low size and weight.
Source - 2022-10-04 - Partnership - XIMEA and Agrowing integrate hyperspectral imaging stack
The companies paired XIMEA cameras with Agrowing software for high-performance hyperspectral imaging. Their integrated system was prepared for demonstration at the VISION 2022 trade show. The collaboration links compact imaging hardware with analysis software for industrial and scientific users.
Source - 2020-11-23 - Product Launch - XIMEA and imec present upgraded xiSpec2 hyperspectral camera family
The xiSpec2 line kept the 26.4 x 26.4 x 32 mm camera format while improving camera housing and bandpass filters. The series included visible, Red-NIR, NIR, and line-scan model variants. XIMEA said the cameras support applications where traditional push-broom hyperspectral systems are too difficult to integrate.

The MU181 used an OnSemi AR1820HS sensor with 4896 x 3680 resolution. XIMEA described 15 x 15 mm front-side housing and roughly 5 gram weight for compact mobile systems. The launch called out UAV and drone applications alongside NVIDIA Jetson support.
Source - 2017-10-10 - Product Launch - XIMEA releases 48-megapixel CB500 camera
The CB500 uses a 48-megapixel global-shutter CMV50000 sensor. Its PCI Express interface provides 20 gigabits per second of bandwidth and direct image streaming. XIMEA positioned the compact camera for inspection, surveillance, mapping, motion capture and aerial imaging.
