Lumenera Corporation

What Lumenera Corporation does

Lumenera Corporation, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, develops and manufactures high-performance digital cameras and custom imaging solutions for industrial and scientific markets. Following its acquisition by Teledyne Corporation, the business operates as Teledyne Lumenera within the Teledyne Vision Solutions unit. Its product portfolio centers on CMOS image sensor-based cameras spanning USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI interfaces, including the LT Series USB3 and board-level cameras (1.7 MP to 31 MP) for OEM and industrial applications, and the INFINITY Series high-performance microscope cameras (up to 20 MP) for scientific imaging. Software products include the INFINITY ANALYZE application package, the Spinnaker SDK with GigE architecture, and the LT Series SDK for camera control and image acquisition.

The company generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of standard digital cameras, custom and OEM imaging solutions for embedded integration (including custom CMOS image sensors and integrated vision systems), and software/SDK licensing. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales via a Request Info inquiry flow with direct OEM engagement for embedded vision applications, supported by content marketing, trade events, and dedicated Industrial and Scientific LinkedIn and X channels. Target customer segments include scientific and research institutions, industrial manufacturers (machine vision inspection, metrology, flaw detection, flat panel and battery inspection), medical and life sciences companies, aerospace and defense organizations, and OEM manufacturers requiring custom imaging modules. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with the custom-engineering nature of the business. The company employs 101-250 people and reports deployment worldwide across its industrial and scientific application footprint.
