Flir: new thermal imaging cameras

Flir Systems' new SC8400 / SC6500 Series thermal imaging cameras are designed to provide the best thermal measurement performance together with the most advanced connectivity. Equipped with a cooled Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector that produces crisp 1280 x 1024 pixel thermal images - High Definition (HD) imaging on a FLIR SC8400 / SC6500 Series camera enables you to see the smallest of details and offers 4 times more thermal data than a standard 640 x 512 pixels image. more08.12.2011

Point Grey: New HD 720p 120fps Models to Flea3 USB 3.0 Camera Family

Point Grey announced the launch of its latest Flea3 USB 3.0 camera models. The new FL3-U3-13S2 models are based on monochrome and color versions of the Sony IMX035, a high-quality CMOS sensor capable of generating 1.3 megapixel (1328 x 1024) images at 120 FPS. The IMX035 uses Sony's Exmor technology, which combines the speed of CMOS with advanced-quality image sensor technologies accumulated through the development of CCDs. Unique set of features more08.12.2011

IDS: Multi-Camera System with Eight USB 3.0 Industrial Cameras

IDS presents a multi-camera system with eight USB 3.0 cameras. Each of the eight newly developed USB 3 uEye CP cameras equipped with a highly sensitive 1.3 Megapixel e2v sensor delivers 25 frames per second. This results in a total data rate of 250 MByte, which are transferred via one single USB 3.0 cable to the host PC. Despite this enormous data rate the CPU load is a mere 20%. Hence, it is rather easy to implement multi-camera systems with the new IDS USB 3.0 camera. more22.11.2011

What is Photogrammetry? more17.11.2011

Camera Allows Automatic, Camera-based Quality Inspection

The various types of solar cells can differ significantly in terms of size, shape, color or imprint. Automated quality inspection of dif-ferent types of solar cell therefore put high demands on the flex-ibility of the inspection system. Each characteristic of the object to be inspected is taught-in by the default software so that it can be identified with certainty in quality control. Most types of solar cells are taught-in to cell inspection systems which carry out inspec-tions on the cells in module production. more19.10.2011

Lumenera Launches 5.0 Megapixel 14-bit Camera for High Sensitivity Imaging

Lumenera introduced its new 5.0 megapixel USB 2.0 camera series for industrial and scientific imaging applications. Formulated with the Sony Super HAD ICX655 CCD sensor, the Lw560 and Lw565 feature a 2448 x 2048 resolution and selectable 8 or 14-bit output, providing exceptional color images in the visible and Near Infrared (NIR) light spectrum. more13.09.2011

CMOS Cameras from IDS Support Global Shutter

IDS announced today that its uEye camera family now has 18 models with a cutting-edge 1.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor featuring global shutter readout mode, which is typically only available in more expensive CCD models. The sensor also boasts high frame rates, achieving a readout speed of up to 60 fps at full format depending on the interface. Using the optional binning and digital image scaling functions, the 1/1.8" sensor from e2v can deliver frame rates of over 100 fps. The highest resolution is 1280 x 1024. more
