AllPixa Evo line scan family Chromasens has added three models compatible with Coaxpress 2.0 to its AllPixa Evo line scan camera family. By merging CXP 2.0 with trilinear CMOS sensors yielding resolutions up to 3 x 15,360 pixels, new AllPixa Evo 8k, 10k and 15k cameras acquire true RGB colour, mono or TDI images at a maximum line frequency of 100kHz. Te camera has four CXP 2.0 channels, each
with a transfer output of 12.5Gb/s (CXP-12) or a total of 50Gb/s of bandwidth if all four channels of the camera are connected to a GenICam- compliant frame grabber. CXP 2.0 runs over a single coax cable that carries video, camera control and triggering functions with 13W of DC power at 24 VDC. Te AllPixa Evo CXP cameras have frame
Software
Halcon 21.11 MVTec Software will launch the latest version (21.11) of its Halcon machine vision software on 17 November. One highlight of Halcon 21.11 is the addition of instance segmentation to the range of deep learning functions. Tis technology combines the benefits of semantic segmentation with those of object detection, and enables the pixel-precise assignment of objects to different classes. It is particularly useful in applications where objects are very close together, touch each other or overlap, such as in random bin picking. MVTec has also improved the barcode
reader for the 128/GS1-128 code, so that codes that are blurred can be read. Another
Interface card
Analogue video interface board Aivion has released the TL9801, a small form factor CVBS analogue video output interface board for zoom block cameras. TL9801 can be mounted on the rear side of the camera. With a 44mm to 38mm size, the board fits the Aivion zoom block cameras AZM-FS10L, AZM-FS36-LVH and the Sony cameras FCB-EV7520A, FCB-EV7520 or FCB-EV7100. Tis solution is suitable for cameras where analogue CVBS PAL or NTSC output signals are required. Depending on the camera model, the
CVBS video signals from the zoom module camera are passed through a 30-pin micro coax connector, or through a 24-pin FFC connector via the TL9801. Te video output standard PAL or NTSC has to be set within the camera. Te TL9801 also has a USB2 UART camera control interface and the power input is regulated from 9V to 12V. Te operating
conditions for this board are -5°C to +60°C. Depending on the camera model, the CVBS
output signal is available on a MCX coaxial connector or a board-to-wire connector.

improved feature is that dictionaries can now be used with fewer operator calls, thus speeding up and simplifying the development process. Te same holds for improvements to Generic Shape Matching. Finally, with the Halcon 21.11 release,
users of the previous version also benefit from the advantages of Intel’s OpenVino toolkit. Te corresponding plug-in, which can also be used for other MVTec software products in the future, makes it possible to access AI accelerator hardware that is compatible with the OpenVino toolkit from Intel. Tis allows deep learning inference to run much faster on Intel processors, including CPUs, GPUs and VPUs.

and line trigger options, such as an adjustable encoder input. Tey also offer multi-flash functionality capable of triggering up to four different flash controller channels synchronised to line acquisition. By doing so, multi-flash acquires several images
with different illumination geometries or colours simultaneously in only one scan by line-multiplexing. All three cameras incorporate keystone correction and colour conversion matrices.

Image sensors
Topaz CMOS sensors Teledyne e2v has introduced its Topaz series of industrial CMOS sensors with 2-megapixel and 1.5-megapixel resolution devices. Tese 1,920 x 1,080-pixel and 1,920 x 800-pixel format sensors use low noise, global shutter pixel technology to enable compact mobile designs for many applications. Housed in a 4.45mm-wide chip scale
package, the Topaz sensors have an optical array centre that matches the mechanical centre of the package, allowing for a slim camera design. Tis makes them particularly suitable for miniature OEM barcode engine designs, mobile terminals and sleds, IoT, contactless authentication systems, wearable devices, drones and robotics. Te sensors’ 1/3-inch optical format is
made possible thanks to the 2.5µm global shutter pixel that employs in-pixel correlated double sampling and dual light-guides to achieve good signal-to-noise ratio at low light, with low crosstalk for crisp images. Te sensors have a readout noise of 3.3
electrons; frame rates of 100 frames per second in 8-bit output mode; two-lane Mipi outputs; and fast wake-up mode, which decodes within 10 milliseconds after power up.
