Product focus Smarter than the average camera
A round-up of the latest releases of cameras with onboard image processing capabilities
Te RazerCam smart camera from EVT is now also available with four-megapixel
resolution. Te camera is equipped with a DualCore Arm Cortex A9 processor, offering a frame rate of up to 60fps, as well as 10 freely programmable inputs and outputs. Te camera has a Linux operating system, 1GB DDR 3, and industrial field busses such as CAN, RS485 and Ethernet. Te camera has a user-
programmable FPGA operated with the VisualApplets package by Silicon Soſtware, a graphical FPGA programming package. Applications for the RazerCam include not only industrial automation, but also control systems, machine vision, robot vision and automated guided vehicle systems. Te system is available with the
EVT soſtware library, as well as the EyeVision soſtware. EVT has also released its EyeCheck smart camera series with a liquid lens by Optotune and support for Profinet.

Multipix Imaging now provides the Datalogic P-Series, an ultra-compact
cost effective smart camera offering advanced machine vision functionalities in a fully embedded stand-alone device. Te P-Series is available in two
different resolutions: VGA (P10) and 1.3 megapixel (P15). Lenses and illuminators are fully interchangeable and can be mounted and replaced by
the user. Five focal lengths and seven lighting options result in 70 different combinations delivering installation flexibility while offering superior image acquisition capabilities. Te P-Series smart camera is
particularly suitable for industrial environments where protection against harsh external conditions is required. It is contained in an aluminium housing with an internal illuminator, lens, and protective cover. Te mechanical dimensions are 95 x 54 x 43mm with a weight of about 238g. Te P-Series is powered by the
Impact Lite soſtware package, which offers more than 25 inspection tools making the inspection configuration quick and intuitive.

New Electronic Technology (NET) has extended its smart vision system Corsight
with real 2K and 4K line scan sensors. Currently, no smart camera manufacturer offers a comparable solution with real line scan functionality combined with a choice of operating system and any common image processing soſtware, NET claims. Te all-in-one smart camera
features an embedded computer, lens and lighting inside a compact IP67 housing. It allows high-resolution and high-speed inspection of continuously moving surfaces and materials. Corsight is compliant with
GenICam and GenTL standards, and offers compatibility to Windows or Linux and to any common image

Te new Adlink Neon series of smart cameras, available from Stemmer Imaging, combines the latest
generation of quad core Intel processors running Windows embedded, a choice of Cmosis sensors and a GenICam transport layer. Te quad core Intel Atom
1.9GHz processor gives computing power up to six times that of other smart cameras, while an FPGA co-processor accelerates image pre-processing, releasing the CPU for inspection tasks. Rich soſtware
Vision Components has released its VC F series smart cameras, designed for use in intelligent transportation systems. Applications include free flowing automatic number plate recognition in combination with the Vision Components’ soſtware tool Carrida. Te cameras are also suitable for
many other tasks, such as quality inspection and production control. VC F units are based on a quad-
core processor from Freescale that provides four times 1GHz computing power. Equipped with a freely
support via a GenICam TL interface as well as its own API delivers compatibility with the users choice of machine vision soſtware developed on original x86 platforms, such as Stemmer Imaging’s Common Vision Blox and other third party soſtware, and allows integration with motion, I/O, and other devices. Te camera is available in with
either two- or four-megapixel Cmosis sensors, operating at 120fps and 60fps respectively. Te global shutter sensor provides improved raw image clarity compared to rolling shutter sensors for high- speed inspection. A built-in GigE port allows the connection of an additional slave camera, or multiple cameras via an external hub, reducing the total cost of ownership. Versatile I/O for external device
connection includes four digital inputs and four digital outputs.

programmable GPU, the systems use the VC Linux operating system. Te cameras feature either one
or two remote 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensors connected by a 30mm or 80mm cable – the two-sensor version is also suited for stereo camera applications.
