Here you will find new developments from the industrial sector Image Processing for the Quality Assurance in mechanical engineering and plant engineering as well as for special industries. We provide information about image processing systems such as embedded vision, Gig-E and 3D cameras, frame grabbers, CMOS sensors and much more. The components and methods for image processing are used, among other things, to avoid errors or to determine position and orientation in the Industry 4.0 Production.

Image processing systems are used in industrial applications such as for quality assurance in automated systems, for example when bottles to be filled in the beverage industry are monitored for their fill levels. Image processing systems can also be used in non-industrial areas like in traffic engineering or in sport.
Industries like that Automotive industry often relies on image processing due to its high level of automation. Other special applications can be found in the Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, food technology or Microsystems Technology. You will find excerpts below New developments.
From simple components such as an industrial camera to highly complex image processing systems, the quality in industrial production is guaranteed by image processing. The implementation is very versatile, for example on production lines or filling and packaging systems. We present you here the Industry 4.0 innovations image processing.
The record volume of over 3,35 billion parcels in 2017, additional growth of up to 5,5% for 2018 and the high demands in the course of Industry 4.0 - the sorting processes in the package logistics have to adapt. Vitronic Dr.-Ing. stone Image processing systems shows an intelligent one with "Vipac Smalls Sort" sorting system for the first time a complete solution for the sorting station for recording and sorting smaller parcels and shipments
Allied Vision extends the functionality of the ultra-compact Mako cameras, which are equipped with Sony Exmor Pregius CMOS sensors, by two attractive features. These models of the entry-level series now support Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which enables the precise synchronization of multi-camera systems, as well as Trigger over Ethernet (ToE).
Basler (Sales Rauscher) is expanding its embedded vision offering with two camera modules that are matched to NXP's i.MX 8 processors. With the combination of Basler's camera know-how and the powerful processors from NXP, ideal embedded vision solutions can be implemented for industrial applications.
A pair of High-speed camera can precisely detect the cause of errors in short-term complex events. High speed vision presents a new one for this Phantom T1340 high-speed camera. As the first camera in the new T series, it opens up completely new possibilities in process optimization.
In camera technology for industrial image processing, ever higher resolutions and speeds are required due to ever smaller structure sizes. The finest details have to be checked while the number of cycles increases. Line scan cameras must be able to keep up with this. With the "Eliixa +" line camera from e2v, not only speed problems can be solved.
With its extensive line scan camera range and based on its wealth of experience in line scan camera applications, Stemmer Imaging supports end users, OEMs and system integrators in finding the optimal solution for their individual image processing tasks. This technical article describes what needs to be considered when selecting the appropriate color line scan camera.
Rauscher now has the TDI line camera from the Korean manufacturer views in the sales program. This CMOS / CCD line scan cameras have hybrid Sensorsthat combine the best from the CCD and CMOS sensor world. The fast Camera Link and Coaxpress line scan cameras have up to 256 TDI stages, which guarantee maximum sensitivity.
The "NIT Widy Sens SWIR" cameras with dual-mode "InGaAs" sensors from Rauscher offer a compromise between high sensitivity due to linear response and high dynamics at 120 dB with logarithmic response. 230 frames / s and synchronous image acquisition in the ns range are further features of the camera.
The Scarlet 3D stereo camera (Sales Rauscher) by Nerian is currently the fastest stereo vision and 3D depth camera with the highest image resolution on the market. Predestined applications can be found in the Agricultural engineering, Robotic, Bin picking, pick-and-place as well as for autonomous driving or in self-driving cars. Details on this and another stereo camera can be found here:
The Basler "Dart Boardlevel" cameras (distributed by Rauscher) are among the few board-level cameras that currently conform to the USB3 Vision standard and offer correspondingly secure data transmission and easy integration into image processing systems. With the USB 3.0 interface, you use the convenient plug-and-play functionality, receive data and power via a cable and a high bandwidth of up to 350 MB / s for maximum utilization of the sensor performance.
In order to further improve the image quality of industrial cameras, Basler (Distribution Rauscher) offers the PGI feature set with all new ACE, Dart and Pulse cameras and thus a powerful, patent-pending in-camera image optimization. The unique selling point of PGI is the combination of image sharpness optimization, noise reduction, color anti-aliasing and 5 x 5 debayering.
The "PXV" 2D absolute positioning system from Pepperl + Fuchs has reached a new level of performance in terms of reliability and handling. With its large reading window, it keeps a sufficient number of codes in view even at points and when the code tape jumps. Precise positioning is guaranteed at all times.
