  • 3D Imaging, Lasers, and Fish Lice

    Mestec’s software identifies the location of lice on fish exterior, then fires a laser from the unit which removes the lice from the fish.

  • Capturing Consistent Color

    Whether you're sorting fruits and vegetables or inspecting sneakers, capturing accurate color and rich details at high speed with guaranteed reliability calls for certain characteristics in a camera.

  • Teledyne FLIR Neuro Technology: Automate Complex Decisions Faster with Deep Learning

    Normally, deep learning systems require separate cameras and computer systems. Often the images captured for analysis must be sent to a host or cloud system where the neural network provides an inference driven decision. This is often not ideal, relying on remote or cloud-based processing increases latency and introduces reliability and security risks. Teledyne FLIR Neuro Technology eliminates these risks and simplifies system infrastructure by allowing you to deploy your trained neural network directly to the camera.

  • High-Resolution Imaging

    As PCBs and flat panel displays increase in density, the right camera is needed to design precise, cost-effective and high-throughput inspection systems.

  • Keeping an Eye on Traffic

    The Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is highly versatile system that can be rapidly tailored to identify license plates in any country.

  • Sony Pregius® Global Shutter CMOS

    Sony's Pregius global shutter CMOS technology truly fulfills its promise: crisp, clear, distortion-free images at high speeds.

  • Image Corrections in SWIR

    The ability of InGaAs sensors to detect light in the Short Wave InfraRed (SWIR) wavelength range of 900-1700 nm offers some incredible opportunities for scientific imaging that silicon sensors cannot reach. However, compared to silicon sensors, InGaAs sensors are by nature more prone to high levels of sensor patterning and pixel defects. These defects occur on every single InGaAs sensor.

  • Introduction to Scientific InGaAs FPA Cameras

    Working in the near infrared (NIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) regions of the spectrum offers researchers several advantages, such as the abilities to circumvent unwanted fluorescence backgrounds and to probe more deeply into sample surfaces.

  • VISION Focus article – Standard CMOS sensors applied to 3D vision, detection, and measurement

    3D imaging technology has been around for several decades, but the first products were only commercialized in the 2000s when major film studios released movies in 3D using the latest HD video cameras.

  • Tech Briefs article – Time-of-Flight: Highly Reliable 3D Imaging for Challenging Applications

    Time-of-flight (ToF) technology enables new applications in multiple markets, resulting in a market boom for time-of-flight CMOS sensors over the last few years. This is mainly driven by the consumer and automotive markets, but also by prosumers — amateurs who purchase equipment with quality or features suitable for professional use.

  • Night-sight: Competing technologies for the vision systems in autonomous vehicles

    At night, the average vehicle high beams can illuminate about 400 feet, far less in inclement weather. And, if you’re traveling at a conservative 55 mph—80 feet per second—that means it will take you about 170 feet to stop once you apply your brakes. But, the average driver will travel 120 feet before the brakes are applied.

  • Behind bars – a technological overview of the most pervasive of coding systems

    Even with the holidays behind us (the seasonal peak in consumer retail/on-line spending, logistics and transport, manufacturing, and distribution), there are still more than 5 billion barcodes are scanned every day. Considering that the first barcode was scanned in the 70s on a packet of chewing gum, it’s clearly a formidable method of providing machine-readable UPC (Universal Product Code) that has evolved relatively little since.
