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. more19.04.2011

Smartcam: TopCam 6500/6510

TopCam 6500/6510 is equipped with newest DSP technology. With topSenso's efficient software they are able to read up to 10m/sec. with up to four different types of code can be measured at very high speed and at the same time. They detect all 1D-/2D code symbologies, OCR/OCV plain writing and have also some functions of the industrial image processing. Detection of areas, attendance check, print control and much more could be solved by LabelControl.

USB 3.0: Promising in Market Penetration

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is the most common serial peripheral interface in the history of computing. Present in virtually 100% of all computers, it is the standard for most computing peripherals and sells billions of units every year. To understand how USB 3.0 will impact vision in the future, it's important to first understand the road that led to its development. more08.11.2009

Futuristic Interfaces based on Vision technology

The atracTable, recently presented by Sony and atracsys at the Vision show in Stuttgart, is the combination of a video-based movements tracking system, a computer, a beamer, and a screen.
When an object is placed on the screen, the tracking system recognizes it thanks to a visual tracking tag on the base of the product. At the same time, the tracking system detects the positions and movements of the users' fingers and the objects on the screen. All the information concerning the location of the product(s) and the different movements of the fingers are sent to the computer. more01.08.2009

From Analog to Digital

Analog cameras dominated the early years of machine vision systems, offering adequate performance, a simple interface, and a moderate price. Technology advances, however, are now tipping the scales in favor of digital cameras for most new and many legacy ­applications. Dropping prices, standardized interfaces, and opportunities for customized preprocessing are making the analog to digital transition painless and profitable. more01.03.2005

Mini-made USB 2.0 Industrial Cameras in Ultra-compact Design

Mini-made, easy to use thanks to USB 2.0 connection, fast with high-speed resolution – hardly any other industrial camera currently combines the high demands of modern industrial image processing with such an ultra-compact design as the uEye series from IDS Imaging Development Systems. The miniaturised cameras easily fit into a box with a side length of only 35 mm and provide rapid frame refresh rates of up to 75 frames per second and high resolution up to 3.1 megapixel. more
