Abstract
In some situations, engineers focus on the sensor as the key element of a vision system but forget the importance of optics. It is very important to note that there is currently no optical system that reaches the performance of a sensor in terms of dynamic range. The necessity to race for dynamic ranges higher than 150 dB must be questioned if no lens is able to reliably transfer this high dynamic range from a scene to a sensor.
