Daily Product Highlights 2006 p17 of 22:

• Lens cleaning made easy
  CK100 lens-cleaning kit contains all of the essentials necessary for cleaning all lenses and filters used in industrial machine-vision applications. This special-purpose kit contains a can of residue-free dusting gas, spray bottle with advanced lens cleaner for all lenses, filters and coatings, soft lint-free cloth, lens tissue, and 6-in. cotton-tip swabs for hard-to-reach lens and filter surfaces.
• Decoding software is economical
  PIATI_PGP offers an automatic identification component for Data Matrix decoding software applications. While designed to decipher ECC200 Data Matrix codes under good imaging conditions, PIATI_PGP also delivers results under less than ideal circumstances. Currently available as a Microsoft Windows DLL and a Linux library.
• Common Vision Blox is extended
  New version of Common Vision Blox, CVB 9.0, has been supplemented by optimized algorithms for edge detection, detection of blobs, static evaluation of image data, image filtering, and arithmetic operations on images. In addition, the package includes a new algorithm for 2-D calibration of image data that offers use of a dynamic threshold in the event of fluctuating gray-scale distribution, as well as routines for converting image formats.
• Modules ease communication
  PKM process coupling modules extend the communication possibilities between machine-vision systems and the process. Results from a system can be sent to all industrial bus systems with the module, allowing use of standard components that are independent of the particular bus system used.
• High-resolution cameras are small
  High-resolution, progressive-scan "ice-cube-size" CCD cameras, the IK-52V (1/2 in.) and IK-53V (1/3 in.) are 29 mm? and weigh 45 grams each and feature VGA resolution. They offer a selection of shutter speeds (from1/60 to 1/100,000 s), noninterlaced shuttering, and 60-dB signal-to-noise ratio. Other features include an internal/external (HD/VD) synchronizing system with an HD/VD input/output that can be selected via the rear panel switch.
• Vision system calculates depth
  nDepth PCI vision system handles all aspects of depth calculation, including real-time lens undistortion, camera rectification, correspondence searching, and advanced postfiltering for error removal at 30 frames/s for 752 x 480-pixel images. The system includes a 6-cm stereo vision camera with >60-dB dynamic range, progressive scan, global shutter, and near-IR enhanced performance for use with nonvisible near-IR illumination.
• Camera has 4.2-Mpixel resolution
  TM-4100GE, with resolution of 4.2 million pixels, has dual-tap architecture allowing it to fully exploit its Kodak KAI-4021 imager capabilities, producing a full-resolution 2048 x 2048 image at 15 frames/s. The imager has a high charge conversion of 32 μV/photon, yielding good light sensitivity. Partial scanning gives frame rates up to 80 frames/s at reduced vertical resolution.
• Camera system works in low light
  VIGISCAN 11 infrared vision system incorporates a sensor head rotating continuously at 1 round/s for 360° azimuth coverage. The ultrawide panoramic field of view (360° x 20°) and continuous monitoring ensure that no event is missed in total darkness, fog, or smoke. Operating in the Windows environment, button and icon tool selection with point-and-click operation gives clear display of the panoramic image as well as zoom on area of interest.
• Frame grabber has on-board preprocessing
  X64-CL Express is a Camera Link frame grabber compatible with a PCI Express x1 interface. It supports up to two independent Base or one Medium Camera Link color and/or monochrome cameras. It can reconfigure input taps from a multiple-tap area and linescan cameras simultaneously. Features include Windows 64-bit ready, acquisition pixel clock rates up to 85 MHz, and FPGA-based on-board processing engine including Bayer decoding and shading correction.
• SBC supports range of sensors
  mvBlueLYNX-M module features a 400-MHz processor, 128-Mbyte DDR-RAM memory, 4 Mbytes NOR, and 32-Mbytes NAND Flash memory. Beside eight digital I/Os, the 100 x 160-mm board has a 100-Mbit LAN interface and a VGA port. In addition, there are interfaces via IDE for standard ATA 2.5-in. hard disks and memory cards such as CompactFlash.
