With increased security concerns in recent years, surveillance has been intensified at airports, seaports, in cities, at borders, etc. To improve the information gathered from these systems, the big trends are the move from still imagery to full motion video and then better video analytics to automatically evaluate the images for unusual events.

For OEMs building systems in series production, whether in machine vision equipment, medical devices, or global security products; repeatability and reproducibility of the cameras can be just as important as raw performance. Image uniformity can influence the accuracy of the system or the degree of closeness of measurements to the actual (true) value. But the…
Surveillance and situational awareness systems are relying on daylight full motion video more and more. The camera requirements for this use are unique and cannot be met by consumer cameras or machine vision cameras.
We will showcase our portfolio of vision products and technology aimed at the global security market at the 2013 edition of the DSEI event in London, held September 10th through the 13th. We will display and discuss enhancements to our latest TMX-DHD series of full HD electro-optical sensor modules to provide full motion daylight video. The cameras…
Metrology system manufacturers are moving to ultra large area scan cameras (such as 25 Megapixel CMOS cameras) to improve accuracy and throughput, but defects in the image can negate the performance enhancements.
In case you missed any of our posts earlier this year, here our some of our most popular articles in 2013 related to industrial imaging systems and applications.
The increased field of view and/or throughput provided by 25 Megapixel Cameras can only be a real benefit for inspection and metrology applications with uniform images and linear pixel response. Active Sensor Control (ASC) is an automated way in a camera to correct for various deviating pixel conditions in an image sensor, such as fixed…
In CMOS image sensors the pixel response on exposure varies – more excessively than in CCD – from pixel to pixel. The image quality is also affected by a lot of external factors such as lighting, optics, temperature, etc. This is especially so for ultra high-resolution (8 MP and greater) image sensors and cameras. These…
What do you do when a great solution is just not the perfect fit? Adimec developed one of the best CLAs in the world. It is a compact and cost effective solution for fluoroscopy, surgery, universal RF, and Cardio-vascular applications. It provides excellent image quality while reducing the radiation doses patients are exposed to. Unfortunately…
There is a lot of buzz about the improved camera that will be available in the iPhone 5S released this month. One of the surprising announcements from Apple was the increase in pixel size from 1.4um to 1.5um and the statement “bigger pixels = better picture.” This got us thinking about a topic we previously…
