New High-speed 3D Camera with GigE Interface

AT extends the C4 camera series of high-speed 3d sensors. The new C4-2040-GigE comes with a resolution of 2048 x 1088 pixels and delivers more than 66 million 3D points with a profile frequency of up to 32 kHz. The camera is also available in another version which is called C4-2040-GigE. This model features a resolution of even 2048 x 2048 pixels. more20.06.2011

Camera Interface: GenICam 2.2 Standard Released

First established in 2006, the GenICam standard continues to release enhancements in response to an ever-growing user-base. "The release of GenICam 2.2 and its support for the Mac OS X," notes Dr. Fritz Dierks, chair of the GenICam committee, "is a prime example of how our technical committee is responding to user interest and demand." more06.05.2011

Industrial Camera with GigE Interface and Power over Ethernet

One cable is enough for the new GigE uEye CP industrial camera from IDS. At 29 x 29 x 41 mm, the camera is one of the smallest models to feature PoE technology. It offers a Gigabit Ethernet interface that allows cable lengths of up to 100 meters, a robust housing, screw-on connectors, and optically isolated in- and outputs. For users of analog cameras the new model range offers a powerful alternative. The aim was to combine the simplicity of USB with the performance of GigE. With the GigE uEye CP the company IDS has achieved this. It offers real ease of use. more19.04.2011

GigE Vision in Real-Time Industrial Imaging

The acceptance and use of Gigabit Ethernet technology for industrial digital imaging applications continues to grow. The increased variety and capability of cameras to leverage this powerful interface, combined with planned updates to the AIA (Automated Imaging Associations) GigE Vision interface standards makes GigE Vision based imaging more robust and more ideal than ever for real-time machine vision applications. more15.04.2011

GigE Vision Server SDK and Camera Simulator

Responding to the high demand for universal GigE Vision simulation software, A&B Software has released GigESim - a software package that consists of a GigE Vision camera emulator, camera type convertor, and GigE Vision Server SDK. more05.04.2011

GigE Vision Camera Features Laser Line Extraction for 3D Scanning

The Matrox GatorEye GigE Vision industrial camera offers now 3D capabilities. For triangulation-based 3D digitizing applications, the Matrox GatorEye extracts the laser line in an image to sub-pixel accuracy and produces the corresponding positional depth/height array. Only the resulting array is transmitted, which lightens the load on the Gigabit Ethernet link and PC. The PC can then focus on other tasks, including 3D measurement and analysis. more21.03.2011

Matrix Vision: Smart Eyes for Every Blind Spot

Everyone has seen them at some time in a television documentation about gold and diamond mines in Australia or South Africa: oversized off-highway dump trucks with a loading capacity of up to 150 tons. A disadvantage of these big vehicles is the limited view of the driver and the high risk of unseen workers around. To guarantee safety, the French manufacturer Arcure offers Blaxtair, a safety system which acquires the danger area of a construction machine in three dimensions and searches for human beings in real-time. more
