Their excellent image quality combined with a robust design means machine vision cameras find homes in some unique and demanding applications beyond manufacturing and measurement instruments.<\/p>\n

Adimec<\/a> is proud to have worked with the Advanced Imaging and Visualization Laboratory, AIVL, at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI)<\/a> for many years. Researchers and engineers at AIVL have implemented Adimec HD color cameras<\/a> into a variety of their imaging systems, including an underwater, stereoscope system that collects images for scientific purposes and for 3D IMAX movies.<\/p>\n One example is video collected in the NASA Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL)<\/a> showing astronauts practicing repairs in a simulated weightless experience. <\/p>\n Here is information From Wikipedia on the NBL: <\/p>\n A Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory<\/b> (NBL) is an astronaut<\/a> training facility, such as the Sonny Carter Training Facility at the NASA Johnson Space Center<\/a> in Houston, Texas<\/a>.[18] The NBL is a large indoor pool of water, the largest in the world,[19] in which astronauts may perform simulated EVA<\/a> tasks in preparation for space missions. The NBL contains full-sized mock-ups of the Space Shuttle<\/a> cargo bay, flight payloads, and the International Space Station<\/a> (ISS).<\/em><\/p>\n Some stills from the collected video:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n While this may seem like a very unusual use for a machine vision camera rather than a professional camera, the excellent image quality, color reproduction, camera consistency, rugged design, camera size, and cost made the Adimec-2000<\/a> color camera the right fit for this challenging image capture application.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
