This week we completed extensive qualification and the latest member of the CMOS-based QUARTZ series, the Q-12A65, is now in volume production. The Q-12A65 has been designed into several instruments and is now commercially available to allow equipment manufacturers to take the next required performance leap in accuracy and throughput.
With the technology advances in CCD and CMOS image sensor market and the lower production costs driven by the consumer market, there is a steady increase in high-resolution (4 Megapixels and higher) and ultra high-resolution (12 Megapixels and higher) OEM camera options from machine vision suppliers. The higher resolution cameras enable advances in demanding inspection…
One of the big advances in image sensor development (both CMOS and CCD) is a reduction in read noise. Read noise is basically the noise added to the pixel when reading out the image sensor. The noise signal is added by the electronic circuits involved in the conversion of charge to the digital signal. With…
Machine vision has gone beyond factory automation and process control to nanoscale measurements and even global security systems. Despite this, the considerations for machine vision camera options are often still just resolution, frame speed, and price.
Adimec has expanded TMX-DHD series of rugged COTS cameras for the global security market. TMX-DHD cameras have been integrated in multiple new and upgrade programs in the US, Europe, and Israel for airborne payloads, situational awareness systems, and ground vehicle-based long-range observations systems, among others. These cameras increase the detection, recognition, and identification performance while…
At the 2014 edition of the SPIE Defense, Security and Sensing event in Baltimore, MD., held May 6th through May 8th Adimec will display and discuss the latest enhancements to its TMX-DHD series of rugged full HD COTS cameras to provide color full motion video in daylight on airborne payloads, long range observations systems, and…
In defense and global security electro-optical systems whether for surveillance, situational awareness, or targeting, daylight cameras are combined with cameras optimized for other portions of the light spectrum such as a Long Wave Infrared LWIR (thermal) camera, a NIR camera (low light) and a SWIR camera to obtain full motion video throughout the day and…
The accuracy and quality of the imaging data achieved in industrial OEM cameras partly depends on the accuracy of the sensor mounting and alignment processes. Despite this, it may not be a consideration in the machine vision camera selection process.
The TMX-DHD series of rugged COTS full motion video cameras has been designed into many global security systems around the world for increased detection, recognition, and identification performance. This series has been expanded with additional interfaces and sensor options to ease the integration into more new and upgrade programs in airborne payloads, situational awareness systems, and…
