Light sources withstand hazards
Range of manual and remote-controlled quartz-halogen light sources endure demanding environment of machine-vision applications. Using a proprietary operating cycle, they provide a steady, stable output (±1%) at a higher color temperature (>3000K) and over a longer life span (500--2000 h) than incandescent bulbs.

Noncontact device detects passenger flow
Compact and self-contained device based on noncontact detection technologies, the NC5400 measures the number of persons passing in front of it and stores the information or transfers it over a standard interface. The principle of operation minimizes the occurrence of false alarms in the presence of shadows or out-of-size objects. The unit is designed to be easily mounted over doors and turnstiles.

Pan-tilt-zoom camera is multifunctional
The 20Z704T-PZ pan-tilt-zoom camera can be mounted in either indoor or outdoor environments for day or day/night use. The color camera utilizes microstepping technology for pinpoint accuracy in daytime; a B/W low-light camera signal kicks in for nighttime operation. There is a combined 220X zoom (22x optical, 10X digital) with fast autofocus.

System automates proofreading
PSIFEYE system confirms that product-information documents conform to their designs with respect to both content and quality. It enables manufacturers to detect and correct errors early in the production process, thereby preventing costly rework and product recalls. The system compares images of documents and plates scanned by standard large or regular format scanners. The proprietary image-analysis software can detect paper stretch, ink bleed-through, and other printing distortions and effects.

USB-based module support HERON
HERON-BASE2 offers a low-cost but fully featured option for connecting to PCs via high-speed USB 2.0. This allows systems to be used alongside laptop computers as well as desktop computers that have previously used a PCI connection. All available HERON modules with Xilinx FPGA, TI DSP, and fast I/O can be plugged into the HERON-BASE2.
