Embedded special
found in machine vision to embedded vision developers through its new product line. Gerk said that the new camera platform is ‘totally different to what we have done before’, (there is more on Allied Vision’s 1 product line on page 40). Allied Vision is not the only machine vision
supplier to try and tap into this market; other notable names exhibiting at the event in Santa Clara included Ximea, MVTec, Euresys, and Vision Components. Basler’s head of new business development, Mark Hebbel, gave a tutorial at the summit on choosing time of flight sensors for embedded applications, and the company is upgrading it Dart cameras with a MIPI interface that makes them more compatible with embedded vision. Stemmer Imaging’s Common Vision Blox and MVTec’s Halcon soſtware can now both run on embedded platforms from ARM. Some of the feedback Allied Vision
received from its market analysis during the early stages in developing the 1 product line
The machine vision industry is waking up to the fact that there is this whole mass market development going on that’s not running on a PC
was that there was a lack of camera options available for embedded systems. Paul Maria Zalewski, product line manager at Allied Vision, remarked that the company has come under greater price pressure in recent years in the lower price segments for which it caters. ‘We ran into a situation where only the price matters to most of the customers in specific market segments,’ he remarked. Te idea of developing a system-on-chip means the company can ‘offer functionality in a price segment that was never reached before’. Zalewski commented: ‘We did some
calculations on the break-even point of an FPGA-based versus an ASIC-based camera. And yes, we are talking about huge and ambitious numbers for the future.’ He added: ‘In the end we wanted to create something new and revolutionary for the market and the customers. I am optimistic and, [from] the feedback we got from the Embedded Vision Summit in Santa Clara, the Allied Vision 1 product line will give engineers new options for designing embedded vision applications.’
