3D scanhead for solar inspection
EVT has developed the EyeScan 3D scanhead with the integrated evaluation software EyeVision 3D. This combination offers the user three-dimensional control of solar cell soldering.
Additionally, complete evaluation of the 3D data is integrated in the EyeVision 3D software, reducing implementation time. The EyeScan 3D scanhead carries out image processing autonomously, with the 3D evaluation taking place onboard the camera. With the EyeVision software, EVT has developed a cost-effective and compact 3D system, which can be programmed and configured by the user by drag-and-drop.
EyeScan 3D (140 x 70 x 50mm) contains a pre-calibrated laser triangulation sensor with 5mW of power. It has a maximum scan rate of 400Hz and a resolution of up to 1,280 pixels. Data transfer is via Gigabit Ethernet interface or optional RS232.

GigE miniature cameras The Imaging Source has introduced a series of GigE cameras with miniature casings. The industrial cameras are supplied in compact and robust aluminium casing with a C/CS mount. Optionally, they are available with a trigger and digital I/Os.
All camera parameters and settings can be set via the shipped software. Furthermore, a number of automatic modes are available, which guarantee optimal image quality in varying light conditions.
The cameras are supplied with drivers for Windows XP, Vista and 7, the SDK IC Imaging Control (.NET, ActiveX and C++ class library) and IC Capture. The latter is a powerful end-user application, which allows all camera parameters to be set, live video to be displayed, and singular images and image sequences to be captured.

Vision sensor platform Tordivel has released a new product range: Scorpion Mono Stinger. Scorpion Mono Stinger is all the hardware and software needed to build a vision sensor. Tordivel provides the best, low cost and high performance platform for OEM, machine builders and automation partners to build their own 2D or 3D vision sensor solution into their equipment.
The colour and monochrome models are available with VGA, SXGA and 2 Megapixel resolutions and are suited to machine vision applications in automation, traffic management, quality control, medicine, logistics, and security.
Getting started with the cameras takes only a matter of minutes and integrating them into existing applications takes only a few lines of code. Drivers for LabView, Halcon, DirectX, Twain and WDM are included.
Scorpion Mono Stinger solves tasks within object location, shape verification, barcode reading, label inspection, assembly verification, counting, alignment, robot vision, colour identification, and gauging. The product range is powered by a selection of the best 2D and 3D machine vision algorithms from Scorpion Vision Software 9.0. They run on a PC and have the accumulated industrial strength and the extensive results from a series of large 3D machine vision R&D projects. Sub-pixel measurement with MonoPose3D, a fast object location and robust filtering tool, is available with Mono Stinger to build into any solution, product or machine.
Frame grabbers
Imaging development kits BitFlow has released a line of development products specifically designed to assist engineers in the layout and modelling of imaging systems employing the company’s Karbon, Neon-CLB and Neon-CLQ frame grabbers.
Based on a customer request, BitFlow was able to design and build these development kits to benefit the R&D department of a major corporation.
The most cost-effective approach to system development, the new blocks are available in external 16-pin, 40-pin and 60-pin D-sub configurations and feature standard industrial mounting capabilities. Each screw connector is labelled with a simple-to-read pin number to match a corresponding one
Mono Stinger can be extended with the new Scorpion Tool Components based on Scorpion Vision Software or the best open-source image processing: OpenCV 1.1 or 2.3, NumPy or SciPy or the user’s own algorithm developed in C or C++. The Scorpion Vision App is also compatible with Scorpion Mono Stinger and will reduce the development time of an OEM solution. The user screen is minimal, compact and very easy to understand.

Miniature camera head Toshiba Imaging has released a small three-chip HD camera head (only 1.6 inches, weighing 2.3oz) for 3D applications. The 3CCD IK- HD1’s ultra-compact camera head is ideal for capturing unique shots in broadcast applications and other imaging tasks where space is limited. The flexible IK-HD1 HDTV system features 1,920 (h) x 1,080 (v), 30fps output and generation lock (genlock), making this system ideal for 3D imaging and other speciality high definition video imaging broadcast applications. The small camera head
referenced in the product manual, simplifying installation to multiple signals.
Each block configuration comes with a frame grabber-specific cable that carries signals from the grabber’s connector to the terminal block.
The 16-position block (IOB-DEV- C16-CLB) comes with a Neon- CLB cable; the 40-position block (IOB-DEV-C40) ships with a ribbon cable for Neon-CLD, as does the 60-position block (IOB-DEV-C60) for the Karbon and the Neon-CLQ. While these kits are aimed at R&D, it has been observed that, due to the DIN rail mounting capabilities of the blocks, some of these will end up in production models as well.

features Toshiba’s 3CCD prism block technology delivering vibrant yet realistic colours, wide dynamic range and excellent detail.
The CCD camera avoids the rolling- shutter artefacts that are present on many CMOS-based cameras. A comprehensive menu allows the user to customise scene painting and adjust to optimise output for virtually any environment. The C-mount lens fixture, RS232C serial interface, and multiple outputs for HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), analogue RGB, or Y/Pb/Pr are standard.
Accessories for the remote head system include interface cables in 3m, 6m, 10m, or 30m lengths and optional 50Hz/60Hz switchable control unit that provides either 1,080i 25 or 1,080i 30 output. Toshiba’s IK-HD1 HDTV cameras have been implemented in a diverse range of 2D and 3D camera systems for a variety of broadcast applications.
