SHOW PREVIEW: SPIE DSS


Photron will exhibit its FastCam Multi, a flexible, multi-head camera system that is tethered to a remote processor. Te small, sealed camera heads (69 x 70 x 145mm) and the configuration allow the user to capture images in confined spaces with megapixel resolution at up to 6,000fps. Full, high- resolution at 1,280 x 1,024 pixels is provided at 4,800fps and 720 HD (1,280 x 720 pixels) to 6,000fps. Other frame rates are available up to 750,000fps at reduced resolution. FastCam Multi’s camera processor is


surface glare during measurement to capture a sharp, clean image. Te laser sources also feature a tight


spectral bandwidth (typically ±5-10nm) which means tighter filters can be used to block out as much ambient light as possible. Laser Components’ modules feature an optional modulation cable that can operate at frequencies up to 1MHz (wavelength dependent). www.lasercomponents.co.uk


Pacer USA will feature Optotune’s tuneable lens technology, which enables vision systems that can focus within milliseconds at distances


from infinity to 50mm. With no translational mechanics involved, the entire optical setup can be made compact, robust and dust-free. Less movement and weight mean less power consumption and faster response times. A change in lens radius of several micrometres can have the same optical effect as moving the entire lens several centimetres. Also on display from Pacer will be NIT


imaging arrays, which provide very high-speed detection capabilities in uncooled operation, up to 10,000fps or 20,000 lines per second in scanning systems. Te high frame rate imagers are ideal for monitoring lasers or spot welding in the automotive industry, production inspection of hot objects in glass or steel factories, or fast moving object inspection to avoid blur and other unwanted effects. www.pacer-usa.com


separate from the camera heads. Tis ensures that the data is retained in the processor in the event the camera heads or cables are damaged or destroyed during the capture of a high-speed event. Te camera system is ideal for applications such as off-board automotive safety testing, detonation and explosives testing, and for any high-speed image capture in confined, yet demanding environments. It is also ideal for use in microscopy, life sciences, biomechanics, fluid dynamics, material sciences, and digital image correlation (DIC). Te lens interface is compatible with 1-inch


C-mount, Nikon G-type, and Micro Four Tirds (MFT) lenses. Each camera head offers 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB memory options for Gigabit Ethernet interface to PC. www.photron.com


Pleora Technologies will be demonstrating its Transcoder Gateway at the


show. Te device simplifies imaging systems by automatically converting video from up to four GigE Vision or USB3 Vision cameras into the H.264 compression format. While preserving high-quality video for processing and analysis, the compressed image feed is transmitted over a wired or wireless connection using RTSP to a playback device, including embedded PCs, tablets, and smartphones, and can be saved to USB-attached storage media. Te gateway also outputs HDMI video to high-definition displays. In a military vetronics application, for


example, the driver and occupants rely on uncompressed, low-latency GigE Vision video from on-vehicle cameras for navigation and surveillance. Te Transcoder Gateway converts these image feeds into a compressed video stream that is transmitted wirelessly to a command centre, other vehicles, or battlefield troops who can view the video on tablets. www.pleora.com


Point Grey will showcase a live demonstration of its 360° Ladybug5 spherical imaging camera system. Designed for situational awareness, the Ladybug5


streams 30 megapixel, 12-bit panoramic video 28 Imaging and Machine Vision Europe • April/May 2015 @imveurope www.imveurope.com


in real-time and captures 90 per cent of the sphere using six 5 megapixel Sony CCD sensors. Te Ladybug5 boasts a post-processing workflow that provides high dynamic range, superb image quality and maximum user flexibility. Additional highlights at the show will


include the compact, cost-effective Cricket IP security camera featuring high resolution Sony CMOS Exmor sensors for excellent low-light performance and true, multi-image wide dynamic range. Cricket supports multi- streaming, MJPEG and H.264, Power over Ethernet and is ideal for robotics and UAV applications. Point Grey will also be showing a variety


of imaging cameras ranging from VGA to 12-megapixel resolutions and frame rates up to 162fps. Tese will include the compact, low- cost Blackfly cameras as well as the board-level Chameleon3 camera line featuring the latest CCD and CMOS sensor technology. www.ptgrey.com


Pixelteq will feature new additions to its SpectroCam and PixelCam spectral camera families at the show. Live demonstrations will highlight the imaging of application- specific visible, NIR, and SWIR spectral bands. Pixelteq has added a SWIR option to


its family of SpectroCam multispectral cameras. Tese configurable platforms use interchangeable filters to image up to eight spectral bands at a time across UV, visible, NIR, and now SWIR wavelengths. Te PixelCam multispectral imagers


deliver real-time multispectral imaging in a compact footprint – enabled by the company’s pixelated filter arrays. Te company can also provide customised OEM solutions including spectral filters and sensors, micro-patterned filter arrays, and wafer-level semiconductor optics. www.pixelteq.com
