  • Introduction To Splitters

    Early microscopes were essentially a tube through which light travels (Figure 1A), from a sample to the eye (or a camera), through some lenses. Modern microscopes have a variety of objectives, mirrors, and pinholes in order to obtain the best image (Figure 1B)

  • USB 3.1: Improvements over USB 2.0

    USB 3.1 has improved on the bulk data transfer mechanism of USB. Under ideal conditions, bulk transfer allows greater throughput compared to isochronous transfers. Real world measurement shows that the effective bandwidth available via the bulk transfer method is around 400 MByte/s; approximately 10 times that of USB 2.0. This important transfer mechanism has enabled machine vision camera vendor to build high throughput USB 3.1 cameras. This has created significant cost saving opportunities for integrators as well as improving the overall system speed and efficiency. Users can now use fewer cameras while still covering the same imaging area with large resolution USB 3.1 cameras. The higher bandwidth also allows for faster frame rate, increasing the performance of the system. For example, a system using four 0.3 MP, 30 fps USB 2.0 cameras can now be replaced by a single USB 3.1 camera running at 1080p and 30 fps for the same price while offering even more resolution.

  • How To Align A Splitter

    Once you have acquired a splitter, the next step is to set up the hardware and software for your microscope or imaging system. This technical note covers the hardware portion of set up, namely how to physically align the splitter with your imaging hardware.

  • TDI Primer - High Sensitivity Line Scanning

    Teledyne DALSA's high sensitivity line scan products use TDI (time delay and integration) technology. TDI is a method of line scanning which provides dramatically increased responsivity compared to other video scanning methods. It permits much greater scanning speeds in low light, or allows reduced lighting levels (and costs) at conventional speeds. From wafer, PCB, and LCD panel inspection to high-end document scanning, Teledyne DALSA's advanced, high sensitivity line scan delivers an unmatched mix of sensitivity and speed.

  • Accurate 360° Spherical Imaging With Multiple Pre-Calibrated Sensors

    Today, the quality and flexibility of spherical video data make the medium ideal for applications requiring synchronization of video streams. The most famous and typical being GIS applications such as online mapping and streetviews colorizing LIDAR generated 3D point clouds. The Entertainment industry is another early adopter of this technology for providing immersive experiences. The Teledyne Ladybug spherical imaging systems have become the de facto industry standard. The Ladybug systems do all the image acquisition, processing, stitching and correction necessary to integrate multiple camera images into full-resolution digital spherical and panoramic streaming video in real-time. This ability to stream in real-time is unique in the marketplace.

  • Enhancing USB 3.1 Cameras Reliability with Frame Buffer

    Image transmission reliability is often a key factor to consider when building a machine vision system. Corrupted or lost image data often hinders system performance and decreases efficiency. A frame buffer on board the camera can be used to address these reliability issues.

  • Machine Vision Interface Comparison and Evolution

    In today’s thriving machine vision industry, there is a number of competing interface standards. Each standard arose with the goal to out-perform the previous one and address more complex system requirements. In order to understand how each interface compares, it is important to know the evolution of their development. This paper analyzes the merits of four of the most popular imaging interfaces and describes how they accelerated the growth of the machine vision industry.
