  • Teledyne FLIR Return Material Authorization

    This article describes how to obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number in order to return a product to Teledyne FLIR.

  • Teledyne Laser Triangulation

    Compared with other 3D techniques, laser triangulation is the most suitable for applications that need very high accuracy (down to a micrometer) and very high speed. The camera can be in movement (e.g. when the camera is held by a robot or by a person), or fixed and the object be in movement (e.g. when inspecting pieces that are on a conveyor belt).

  • Vision Automates Jar Inspection

    AarhusKarlshamn turned to Adbro Controls to develop an automated vision-based system specifically for the purpose of inspecting its jars of foodstuffs

  • Camera Field Of View

    The area across which your camera can image is known as the field of view or FOV, the larger the FOV the more of your sample you can see. Having a large FOV allows you to take more efficient images containing more data, and take fewer images in order to capture the entire sample.

  • Can New Advances in CMOS Replace sCMOS Sensors in Biomedical Applications?

    Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology now offers the advanced imaging capabilities required for many biomedical applications, but can it replace the more expensive sCMOS (scientific CMOS) sensors? CMOS and sCMOS sensors have set the benchmark for both performance and value in machine vision in several industries, and this article will explain the benefits and costs of each technology for highly demanding imaging applications in biomedical and life sciences.

  • Seven Ways to Ensure Success When Choosing Cameras for Intelligent Transportation Systems

    Finding the right camera for an ITS can be daunting, but integrators and OEMs can find success by following these guidelines.

  • AWM Frictionless™ - Autonomous Store Checkout Made Possible with Machine Vision Cameras

    Using Teledyne FLIR Blackfly S GigE Machine Vision Cameras, AWM Frictionless™ allows customers to pick up items and be automatically charged as soon as they leave the store, without needing to queue up, scan, or physically pay for their items.

  • What Is the Best Machine Vision Camera for My Biomedical Application?

    Research and diagnostic biomedical applications typically require imagers with high spatial resolution, accurate color reproduction, greater sensitivity in low light conditions, and in many cases some combination of all three factors to improve reliability of data. Having the appropriate camera is critical to providing a proper diagnosis in a clinical application or reliable data for research purposes. So how do you know what machine vision camera is best for your application? In the following sections, we cover several aspects to consider when choosing a machine vision camera for your biomedical and life science applications.

  • Deep Learning Solutions Enable Facemask and PPE Detection

    Using a Firefly DL camera, Teledyne FLIR engineers developed a system for detecting compliance and flagging users who may be flouting mandated PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) guidelines. The facemask detection dataset used 2 publicly available libraries: one with 853 images of people wearing facemasks, and an additional 269 images to provide examples of people with, without, and incorrectly wearing facemasks in different environments.

  • Enhanced Dust Control Service for Machine Vision Cameras

    Teledyne FLIR cleans and assembles all machine vision camera optical assemblies at our Canadian manufacturing plant in an ISO certified clean environment (ISO7 - Class 10000). This standard level of dust control is usually sufficient for microscopy applications— “dust” in this case defined as any foreign particulate matter. However, some applications require an even higher standard. In such cases, Teledyne FLIR offers Enhanced Dust Control Service on all its machine vision cameras except Blackfly S Board Level (USB3/GigE) and all Firefly models.

  • Teledyne FLIR Machine Vision Cameras Capture High-Definition Footage of NASA’s Perseverance Rover Landing on Mars

    On February 18th, NASA successfully landed the Perseverance Rover on Mars. This isn’t the first Mars mission, but it was the first time that the entry, descent, and landing of a spacecraft was filmed and broadcasted live for the public to watch and virtually participate in. 6 FLIR cameras captured the event from multiple angles, documenting all stages of the thrilling touchdown. While only a few minutes long, the footage has already helped engineers evaluate how well their work performed in space, and inspired millions of viewers around the world.
