  • Synchronizing Ladybug Cameras

    This application note describes how to synchronize Ladybug cameras over USB3 by determining the relationship between the image timing and the camera’s current time. This is useful for Ladybug users who need to correlate their images with external information such as LIDAR or GPS.

  • Training a classification model for Firefly-DL using TensorFlow framework

    This application note describes how to setup your computer and train a custom classification model that is compatible with Firefly-DL cameras. We use TensorFlow (TF) framework to train a custom model.

  • Understanding Color Interpolation

    The two critical items to consider when choosing interpolation methods are false color artifacts and image sharpness. These two parameters are important because they are used in edge detection algorithms and to ensure accurate color reproduction.

  • Updating Ladybug Calibration Files

    Ladybug cameras have calibration files that provide settings used for stitching and rectifiying images. If an update to the calibration file is necessary, use the UpdatorGUI utility provided in the Ladybug SDK to upload the file.

  • Using Camera Events in Third-party Applications

    This application note lists some of the third-party software applications, commonly used with Point Grey’s GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras, which implement events. It also provides an image of the event configuration screen for the different software programs.

  • Using Counter and Timer Control

    This document provides an overview of the Counter and Timer Control feature in the Blackfly S and Oryx cameras.

  • Electrophysiology and Calcium Imaging

    The Department of Human Physiology was established in 1974 as the first department in the School of Medicine at Flinders University. The department has a research focus in neurosciencein three major areas; sensory and autonomic neurobiology, roles of neurotrophic factors and neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Live Cell Imaging, Membrane Dynamics

    The ability to perceive external stimuli and respond accordingly is a fundamental characteristic of biological systems. The stimuli are then converted to signals that can be read by cells via the process of signal transduction, of which there are many different kinds.

  • Optimizing Detection in Whole Animal In vivo Imaging

    Animal studies contribute significantly to our understanding of human disease, and function as an established and essential step in the development of treatments and other therapeutic agents. These studies are conducted in the preclinical phase, preceding drug screening in human clinical trials.

  • Achieving a True Global Shutter with Large Format, Back-Illuminated CMOS

    CMOS sensor technology has steadily improved over the last decade, and is now the standard for many applications such as security, machine vision, and handheld imaging systems.

  • Is There Really a Cool Gas in the Middle of the Sun?

    Yes, if you ask a team of researchers from University Hawaii, Institute for Astronomy who returned from an expedition to the blistering Sahara desert, where they found an unexpected source of cool gas-in the outer regions of the Sun.

  • Characterization of Soil-Grown Root Systems

    Recently, a team of scientists working in North America and Europe developed an innovative growth and imaging platform, known as GLO-Roots, that allows root architecture and gene expression to be studied in soil-grown plants.GLO-Roots (Growth and Luminescence Observatory for Roots; U.S. patent application: 13/970,960) is a collaborative effort between the labs of Dr. José Dinneny at the Carnegie Institution for Science (Stanford, California), Dr. Rubén Réllan-Álvarez (Langebio, Mexico), and Dr. Guillaume Lobet at the Université de Liège in Belgium.
