Brand new image processing

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.

Image processing for special industries

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.

  • It provides security, creates opportunities and, last but not least, is sexy: the video intercom system in the smart home. You can see your visitors from anywhere in the world. Talking to the postman or opening the door for a friend – everything is possible. The notification on the smartphone, tablet or PC monitor when the bell button is pressed is a matter of course. Find out below about the latest features of the popular technology from Ring, Telegärtner and...
  • With an area of ​​1 mm², the world's smallest camera module Naneyem from AMS Osram has a fully digital output. AT&S developed the printed circuit board required for the image sensor using embedded component packaging technology. The mini digital cameras are suitable for wearables such as VR glasses or smartphones and for medical devices. They follow the trend towards single-use endoscopes, which are particularly needed in bronchoscopy during the Covid-10 pandemic.  
  • Modern driver assistance systems use radar technology. There are many systems for adaptive speed control, support for changing lanes, avoiding collisions and recognizing pedestrians and cyclists. All of them pave the way to the self-driving car. Fraunhofer FEP has now developed a radar sensor that can be integrated into the car headlight.  
  • With that of Dr. Katrin Philipp, it is possible to examine deep-seated tissue layers in particular, such as those found in B. can be found in patients in the thyroid gland. For her outstanding dissertation, Dr. Philipp honored with the Bertha Benz Prize 2020.  
  • Rauscher presents 18 new Basler "MED ace" USB 3.0 cameras with 9 and 12 megapixel resolution and the best CMOS sensor technology available on the market. They offer frame rates of up to 42 frames / s and are produced, distributed and supported over their entire product life cycle in accordance with ISO 13485: 2016. They are also equipped with the MED Feature Sets especially for applications in the medical and life sciences sector.

Image processing for machines and systems

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.

 

Baumer0519Five new models with 10 GigE vision compliant interface for using optical cables expand the industrial cameras of the LX series from Baumer. The cameras are suitable for applications that require a high bandwidth of 1,1 GB/s over large distances. Depending on the SFP+ module used, long-distance solutions of up to 10 km can be implemented - completely without Media converter.

Rauscher10115Basler (Distribution Rauscher) is expanding its camera portfolio for intelligent traffic systems twice: The "Dart" series is an inexpensive camera that is reduced to the essentials and is suitable for simple traffic applications. For more demanding systems, Basler integrates the powerful Sony "IMX174" and the "Python 5000" sensor from ON Semiconductor in selected Ace cameras.
vc04151Vision Components can now also come up with user-friendly standard software for all industrial image processing tasks for the ARM-based smart cameras of the Z series: Halcon Embedded with its integrated development environment and comprehensive library for blob analysis, morphology, matching, measurement, identification and much more was successful ported the new camera models.

stemmer0415Teledyne Dalsa (Distributed by Stemmer Imaging), the GigE Vision camera for industrial image processing, "Genie Nano", offers a range of functions that increase performance while reducing complexity and costs. The set of camera modes combines unparalleled image processing with data transfer rates beyond the GigE limit. An extended operating temperature range is available to the user in a small and lightweight housing.

rauscher10116Basler (Distribution Rauscher) has expanded the "Dart" camera series: the daA1600-60um and daA1600-60uc with the e2v sensor EV76C570 offer outstanding image quality. This e2v sensor with a pixel size of 4,5 x 4,5 µm offers a maximum image circle of 1 / 1.8 inch and is the largest sensor in dart cameras.
rauscher0317Basler is expanding its ACE industrial camera series (Rauscher distributor) with 20 new, high-resolution cameras. This increases the series to over 120 cameras, making it the largest camera series in the industrial image processing market. For better differentiation, the ACE series is classified into the three product lines Classic, U and L.
rauscher10317The Adimec Norite camera (distributed by Rauscher) is a 5 megapixel CMOS camera with global shutter technology in an optical 1 ”format. For developers of multi-camera systems such as side-view cameras for 3D measurement technology, Norite cameras offer reduced system complexity with increased throughput.

cretec0819High flexibility and the finest detection capability of features in industrial image processing are directly linked to intelligently controlled lighting quality. Modular variable LED systems from Cretec's individual formats economically and technologically optimize precise image processing.

A year ago Basler (Distribution Rauscher) is changing its portfolio with the Boost series Cameras with Coaxpress 2.0 interface expanded. These are with modern CMOS Sensors fitted.
