The IMX298 is a 16.45-megapixel CMOS image sensor manufactured by Sony. It delivers a 4672 × 3520 pixel array with a 1.12 µm pixel pitch, providing efficient photon collection at each photosite. The optical format spans a 6.552 mm diagonal with a 3.079861111 aspect ratio, characteristic of 1/3-inch sensors widely used in embedded and surveillance systems. With 1.12 µm pixels, the sensor features very fine pixel pitch targeting maximum spatial resolution in microscopy and metrology systems.
