Photonfocus’ Pixel Professor CMOS Smart cameras available from Adept Electronic Solutions

The Pixel Professor CMOS Smart cameras

By performing pre-processing on the camera, the vision system computer CPU load is reduced. As a result, the vision system can run faster or use algorithms to produce better results. The technology is scalable and can be fitted to a customer's application.

The Pixel Professor cameras support common image pre-processing operations in pipelined processors such as convolution and non-linear filters, histograms, erosion and dilation, adaptive thresholding, image buffers, image arithmetic, colour space conversion, Look-Up Tables (LUT) and triangulation.

Setting up the pre-processing unit on the Pixel Professor camera is made easy with a simple graphical user interface (GUI). It allows for control loops and multiple passes.

The Pixel Professor cameras provide pre-processed images through USB 2.0 or GigE. No frame grabbers are required.

The benefits of the Pixel Professor cameras include:

• Reduction of pre-processing time increases frame rate
• Enhanced algorithms with same CPU-load compared to software image processing
• The Pixel Professor complements the superior features of CMOS cameras
• Real-time processing of up to 640 Mega pixel per second (Mps)
• "Zero" latency

The fourth Pixel Professor camera is the SM2-D1024-80, which is a Smart CMOS camera with 1 GHz DSP. This camera features 1024 x 1024 pixel resolution, global shutter with up to 75 fps at full resolution, superior signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), 256 MB SDRAM and 2 GB SD-Card.

The Pixel Professor cameras have a wide range of applications:

• Machine vision
• Standard vision applications
• PCB inspection
• Laser triangulation
• Quality control
• OCR
• Form and Attendance Verification
• Welding and soldering
• Laser triangulation
• Packaging inspection
• Keyhole analysis
• Motion analysis
• Slow-motion sequences
• Biomedical applications

DALSA’s dual linescan CCD from Adept Electronic Solutions (22-Dec-2008)
DALSA’s novel dual linescan CCD breaks this trend. By doubling sensitivity with only a √2 increase in shot noise, the design delivers a greater signal to noise ratio, especially in light-starved situations. Functionally similar to TDI arrays, the design consists of two parallel arrays of photodiode pixels. Each pixel is connected to a selectable delay gate that either allows charges through or delays the charges by one scan line. Signal electrons from the two arrays (one of which has been delayed) are then combined on-chip into a single output (with no increase in amplifier noise). Because the delay is selectable, the sensor allows bidirectional scanning. The design also preserves conventional linescan features such as exposure control and high blue response. This dual linescan CCD is available from Adept Electronic Solutions.

New GigE cameras available from Adept Electronic Solutions (28-Nov-2008)
The GigE uEye SE (Standard Edition) series is available from Adept Electronic Solutions. The GigE uEye SE models are not only driver compatible with all cameras of the uEye range and across all interfaces, but also use the same SDK.

MV-D1024E-3D01 camera for 3D profiling using laser triangulation available from Adept Electronic Solutions (18-Nov-2008)
The MV-D1024E-3D01 camera, distributed by Adept Electronic Solutions, contains an image pre-processing module that specifically detects laser lines and locates the central axis of the laser line in 3D using triangulation. The MV-D1024E-3D01 is ideal for 3D applications such as 3D profiling for quality control, PCB inspection, food inspection, packaging inspection, and much more.

AVT long distance Firewire 1394a cables available from Adept Electronic Solutions (16-Oct-2008)
The FireWire standard specifies the maximum cable length for 1394a as 4.5m. However, 10m cables are also available. AVT introduce two longer FireWire cables, which can give a combined maximum length of 35 meters (114 feet) enabling the use of FireWire for applications that were previously unsuitable. These cables are available from Adept Electronic Solutions.
