Photonics Spectra Article -Trilinear Cameras Offer High-Speed Color Imaging Solutions

May 2013

With high color quality and speed – and low cost – trilinear color cameras provide an attractive performance-to-cost ratio in line-scan color imaging for automatic optical inspection.

High-speed color imaging plays an important role in machine vision. Some objects are nearly indistinguishable in gray-scale monochrome imaging. Industrial line-scan color cameras, using either charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors, have been widely used in print inspection, check scanning, electronics manufacturing, food sorting, transportation safety and many other applications. When selecting an imaging technology, always consider the performance and cost requirements.
