Choosing the correct industrial camera for your machine vision system from the beginning can eliminate costly redesigns or upgrades in the future. The question is, how do you determine the best camera? Best is always subject to your needs. For Step 1, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Create a list of possible cameras with the desired functionality<\/b><\/p>\n In our previous blog<\/a> we talked about the first steps to identify the most important camera parameters for your system and start your research of available products. Suppose you have determined you need a lot of contrast in your image which means you need a high dynamic range, and your other system conditions have led you to conclude you need 4 Megapixels with a frame rate of at least 150 frames per second. The system is already based on the Camera Link Detailed comparison of cameras by using datasheets and product specification documents (PSD<\/a>s)<\/b><\/p>\n For example, the Point Grey Gazelle GZL-CL-41C6, the Adimec QUARTZ Q-4A180<\/a>, and the Vieworks VC-4MC-M160 all utilize the CMOSIS CMV4000 image sensor. From readily available and downloadable documentation from the manufacturers, you can find the following:<\/p>\n<\/a>interface and because several images are used for one measurement, you want global shutter technology to minimize the image-to-image effects. This can help you narrow down your search to cameras based on a specific sensor, in this case say the CMOSIS CMV4000<\/a>. As you begin your search, you may find it difficult to compare camera specifications as each supplier may have determine the values in a different way or under different conditions even though they all use the same image sensor. Another thing that is confusing is that cameras utilizing the same sensor can show different values for several parameters, such as dynamic range.<\/p>\n
