Adimec celebrates its 25th Anniversary this year. During the past 25 years we have gathered a large amount of knowledge about cameras. The tooling for building cameras has changed over time. In our Throwback Thursday blog series we will give you a look into the history of camera manufacturing at Adimec.
We have noticed there is some confusion about the various Sony Pregius image sensors and their resolution. The resolution doesn’t necessarily increase with a higher number in the sensor’s name. Therefore we will give in this blog a brief overview of the resolution of the Sony IMX250, IMX252, IMX253 and the IMX255 sensors. We also…
Very often high full well capacity and high dynamic range is mentioned in one sentence. However actually they are not per definition the same. For example at Adimec we do sell cameras with high full well capacity, however, if you are looking for a high dynamic range this might not be the camera of your…
Practical tips for using software to analyze image quality Next to writing blog’s I am also part of the support team within Adimec. To support customers the support team frequently has to analyze image quality. Image averages, standard deviations, or histograms are frequently used image properties that help us in our analysis but also cross…
In a lot of machine vision applications it is important to know the exact time at which a camera records its image. For example if a strobe light is used, the camera should record when the strobe is on and not when the strobe is off! This is done via accurate triggering of the camera.…
Flat Field Correction (FFC) in cameras for Machine Vision Part 3 As we have discussed in previous articles, elsewhere on our blog, various types of flat field correction (FFC) exist. Depending on the variant, a flat field correction corrects for dark signal non-uniformities (DSNU), photo response non-uniformities (PRNU) and/or artifacts caused by the illumination and illumination…
Flat Field Correction (FFC) in cameras for Machine Vision Part 2 Flat field correction is a widely used term as a lot of industrial and machine vision cameras have some form of correction algorithms to overcome image artifacts. However not all forms of flat field correction are the same and with the growing amount of…
