CMV12000 image sensor added to the QUARTZ CMOS-based high-speed camera series

Adimec adds the CMV12000 image sensor to the QUARTZ CMOS-based high-speed camera series, the new 12 Megapixel, 66 fps Q-12A65 machine vision camera.

Camera Dynamic Range Requirements for Machine Vision versus Visual Applications

In photographic terms, dynamic range indicates the ability of a camera to reproduce the brightest and darkest portions of an image.   It is one of the key parameters for determining the right machine vision or industrial camera for your system [for more background information on using dynamic range to compare cameras, click here].  But there…

Photonics leading many technical developments, including medical innovations

Photonics has a leading role in many technical developments, including healthcare innovations. Adimec (Netherlands) and LL Tech (France), together with several partners, as part of the CAReIOCA project are developing & validating a high-resolution high-speed imaging-based medical device to perform non-invasive optical biopsy for cancer assessment.

Exciting interface developments including CoaXPress discussed at the International Standards Meeting

As part of the International Standards Meeting, a technical meeting of the committees GenICam, USB3 Vision, GigE Vision, Camera Link HS and CoaXPress. AIA, EMVA and JIIA together, in October 2013 in Schongau, Germany, there was a CoaXPress plugfest.  For more overall details on the meeting, there is a nice article from Vision Systems Design:…

Adimec demonstrates color processing, Active Sensor Control and other imaging innovations at ITE 2013

Join us at the International Technical Exhibition (ITE) in Yokohama, Japan 4-6 December.  We will introduce and demonstrate additions to its latest CMOS-based QUARTZ and SAPPHIRE camera series and CCD-based OPAL and TMX series including:

Several Versions of CoaXPress to Meet Different Machine Vision Requirements

CoaXPress was designed in the beginning of 2007 to prepare for connecting the latest generation CMOS imaging technology and at the same time overcome all
of the limitations of Camera Link.  The interface has 
many advantages in terms of bandwidth, infrastructure cost, ease of implementation, and scalability.  With CoaXPress, digital video, control, triggering and power can…

8 Reasons Why CoaXPress is Ideal for Multi-Camera Systems

A multiple camera (multi-camera) based vision system can provide a bigger field of view, faster throughput, greater detailed inspection or more measurement information, and possibly all combined for metrology and inspection equipment. 

2013 Brought many new innovations and applications with machine vision

Each year there are exciting advances in what is possible with a machine vision camera.  These cameras are going way beyond industrial manufacturing into defense surveillance systems, robotic surgery, intelligent traffic systems, border security, health monitoring, and more.  In 2013, we discussed many of these new applications in detail on our blog.  Here are a…

20+ Tips to help you select the best industrial camera

There are many considerations as you decide on the best machine camera whether it is for an upgrade to an existing system or for a new project.   Here are some recent blog posts to help you with the process:

Blooming suppression and Smear rejection with CCD machine vision cameras

The new Truesense Imaging (TSI) CCD sensors: the 1080p KAI-02170 Interline CCD image sensor, and the 4 megapixel KAI-04070 Interline CCD image sensor, were designed to provide superior image quality for the most demanding imaging applications.   The Adimec OPAL-2070 and OPAL-4070 CCD machine vision cameras are the latest members of the OPAL series designed around these…
