opto-coupled input I/Os are also available for tasks such as trigger signals. As an FPGA is purely hardware logic, as opposed to a microprocessor, processing is virtually in real time. The Sentech Power Plus series cameras are therefore not to be confused with smart cameras in which a processor is used for image processing.
The Power Plus series is comprised of
ten different camera models, fi ve different resolutions in colour or monochrome.

Optical Coherence Tomography and NDT with Xenics’ Lynx-GigE camera Patrick Merken Xenics
Xenics’ SWIR cameras for medical Optical Coherence Tomography (OTC) offer a multitude
of applications such as detail-rich imaging from the deeper layers of living tissue; the measurement of the thickness and uniformity of functional layers in pharmaceutical
products; or the examination of blood vessels, or three-dimensional imaging of the kidneys. The Lynx SWIR line scan camera with 2,048 pixels enables a user to enhance the axial resolution by a factor of two compared to other available camera types offering only 1,024 pixels. The Lynx offers line-rates of more than 10kHz enabling imaging of fast moving samples. For reduced dark current and enhanced dynamic range, Xenics’ sensors are supplied as standard with one-stage thermoelectric cooling or optional three- stage.
Furthermore, the user can choose from various confi gurations between high sensitivity mode (HS) and high dynamic range (HDR) mode in order to optimise the performance.

90Gfl ops smart camera Max Larin Ximea
Smart cameras are compact, cost-effective machine vision solutions that combine
OEM Scientific CMOS Board-Level Camera
sensor and processor into a single unit. However, smart cameras typically offer less processing power than a PC-based system, which means the systems cannot run a full- feature operating system (OS) and/or image processing library, much less multiple image processing libraries.
The latest class of PC camera uses ultra-low TDP microprocessors to deliver the same performance as a Pentium-M class, PC-based system. The Ximea Currera-G extends the capabilities of the PC camera to the fullest extent. The Currera-G is the fi rst PC camera class to use advanced CPU/GPGPU dual-core microprocessors to deliver up to 90 Gfl ops of computational power running under full versions of Windows 7 or Linux OS, and shipping with APIs for more than 25 image processing libraries and sensor resolutions of up to 5 Megapixels.
