A camera can have several built in functions that you can use to optimize your image quality. In the blogs in this catagory we demonstrate how to make use of these functions to get the largest image quality improvements.
Bright or Dark Field Lighting in applications One of the key components of machine vision imaging is determining what kind of lighting is optimal for your set-up to achieve the best light-dark contrast; bright field lighting or dark field lighting. Bright field is the more commonly used lighting technique whereas dark field is advantageous when…
Achieving Uniformity Inspection of OLED Displays OLED (organic light-emitting diode) and Micro LED displays are modern display technologies we see in our mobile phones, televisions, and other portable computing systems. OLEDs offer a greater contrast ratio and deeper black level because OLEDs emit their own light. The absence of a backlight allows blacks to be…
Changing from CCD to High-Resolution CMOS for Display Module Inspection The trends in the electronic display industry are changing at a staggering pace. We see resolution increases from 720p to UHD 4k and eventually UHD 8K. There is also a vast range of display types including OLED, curved, flexible, and microdisplays. As these technologies become…
At the 2019 SPIE Defense and Commercial Sensing (DCS) Convention, Adimec demonstrated the rugged, extended day, 4K, TMX-55/CXP camera featuring our unique in-camera functionality called Video Enhancement Module (VEM). Rugged Camera with High Image Quality Under Extreme Environmental Conditions The TMX-55 CoaXPress camera is part of the TMX CMOS series designed with features optimized for…
SAPPHIRE S-50A30 and CoaXPress Bring Faster Speeds and Higher Resolution to Machine Vision The Sapphire S-50A30 camera, with the CMV50000 sensor, has moved into full production after initial success in several display inspection systems. After in-depth research and development, field testing, and product refinement the S-50A30 has evolved into a product design equipped to deliver…
What to consider when interpreting an EMVA1288 report The EMVA1288 standard is a great standard – it assures that everybody speaks the same language. So you avoid having to ask questions like: how do you define your dynamic range, temporal dark noise, or saturation capacity. Or if you forget to ask that question and you…
Adimec is introducing a new 50-megapixel camera the S-50A30 based on the CMOSIS CMV50000. The new camera provides more than just higher resolution. This CMOS camera, provides inspection accuracy increases, the highest inspection throughput at 50 Mpx, and the next step in image quality. This is a three-part series that illustrates why to choose a…

It is a challenge to obtain an accurate color representation on your video screen when imaging a scene from sunrise to sunset, e.g. imaging under changing lighting conditions. White balance is a function inside cameras to overcome this challenge. When a colorful scene is recorded without adjusting the white balance of the camera, the color…
Image editing vs image processing Image editing is often thought of as image manipulation, a word with nasty connotations. Image editing is about changing the image in some way, you could say manipulating it. However, “I photoshopped a picture from my fishing trip,” conjures up images of making the minnow you caught into a prize…
