Increasing Vision Performance by Preprocessing on the Frame Grabber
Today’s cutting edge machine vision and video monitoring applications are taking on much more difficult requirements than ever before, such as identifying a small number of cancer cells in a patient’s blood and tracking which items customers leave a store with so their accounts can be charged without having to check out. Camera manufacturers are addressing these applications with sensors that offer dramatic increases in image quality and frames per second. Vision interface standards have kept pace by offering higher connection bit rates such the new CoaXPress 2.0 standard which offers data rates up to 12.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps). Read more ›

Neuronal Networks (CNN) on FPGAs in Industrial Applications
If tasks can be solved exclusively, more easily or with better results with deep learning, this displaces classical image processing – especially with complicated variables such as reflective surfaces, poorly illuminated environments, varying lighting or moving objects.
With machine vision’s special conditions surrounding rapid execution (inference) of CNNs with very low latencies, are the various processor technologies equally well suited for it? High bandwidth, low heat output, and long-term availability are in demand, along with speed and real-time demands. How can you save resources without reducing the quality of classification.

Teledyne E2V
New CMOS Sensor Family, targeted at 3D Laser Triangulation Applications
Teledyne e2v announced its Flash CMOS image sensor family, specifically tailored for 3D laser profiling/displacement applications and high speed, high resolution inspection.
The new Flash sensors feature a 6μm CMOS global shutter pixel which effectively combines high resolution and fast frame rate. They are available in a 4k or 2k horizontal resolution, with respective frame rates of 1800fps and 1500fps (8 bits), and respective readout speeds of 61.4Gbps and 25.6Gbps (the best Gbps/price ratio in the market). The sensors come in a µPGA ceramic package fitting in standard optical formats, APS-like optics in the 4k and C-Mount in the 2k.. Read more ›
