Daily Product Highlights 2007 p18 of 28:

• Generators project uniform laser lines
  Lasiris laser line generators can project from 3 to 99 parallel lines with a high degree of uniformity across the lines. Multiline patterns are compatible with all Lasiris lasers that emit from 375 to 1550 nm. The line lasers are focusable and offer a wide range of fan angles and interbeam angles. Micro multiline patterns are also available. Applications include machine vision, high-speed inspection, 3-D contour mapping, and biomedical.
• Frame grabber is multichannel
  USB frame grabber, Model 2255, is a multichannel, low-latency, USB video-capture device. With a total capture rate of 60 frames/s, the 2255 allows simultaneous video capture of up to four composite NTSC or PAL video sources at 15 frames/s or two channels at a full 30 frames/s. Output formats supported by the 2255 include RGB packed (24 bits/pixel, bitmap compatible), YCrCb packed (16 bits/pixel, YUY2 compatible), and Y8 (8 bits/pixel, monochrome).
• Laser sensor measures pavement
  RoLine laser line sensor measures or profiles pavement topography in 3-D, regardless of geometry. The sensor is not affected by road-surface characteristics, measurement speed, sunlight, temperature, or vibration. A 100-mm line of data across a road surface (similar to a tire width) allows seeing more of the road. Performance on pavement types including transverse, longitudinally tined, grooved, and diamond ground concrete has been field tested at the good-to-excellent range.
• Filters are flexible
  Custom, variable, metallic neutral-density filters and geometric beamsplitters with variable beamsplitting ratio have transmission and reflection defined by a computer-generated geometrical beamsplitter. Software and photolithographic fabrication allow flexibility in achieving linear and nonlinear patterns in different sizes for prototype and serial quantities.
• Dragonfly camera family expands
  The Dragonfly2 DR2-13S2 board-level IEEE-1394a camera incorporates the Sony ICX445 1/3-in. progressive-scan CCD and can generate full-resolution 1280 ? 960-pixel images at 20 frames/s, has improved sensitivity and near-IR performance, and minimizes smear. It also incorporates a smaller, streamlined CS-mount lens holder to minimize weight and cost and an Analog Devices 12-bit A/D converter for faster digitizing and better timing.
• Camera platform is flexible
  Remote-Eye custom camera platform can be coupled with any CCD or CMOS area or linescan image sensor. The platform has a Linux CPU along with 10/100 Ethernet, on-board JPEG compression, NTSC composite, and S-Video. In addition, there is an on-board FPGA (up to 4M gates) and the company's image pipeline. Applications include security & surveillance, traffic enforcement, machine vision, automated assembly, metrology, and industrial barcodes.
• IR camera has InGaAs sensor
  NIR-300 camera expands the company's family of IR cameras to the NIR region of 0.9--1.7 μm. The NIR-300 is based on an InGaAs sensor with 320 ? 256 pixels, read out with 14 bit at 50 images/s. Output is available as Camera Link or Gigabit Ethernet. The camera is available both as cooled and temperature-stabilized or as noncooled.
• Camera produces high-definition images
  Compact 3CCD camera is both 1080i and 720P selectable, with 3 1/3-in.-type 16 ? 9 high-sensitivity, progressive high-definition sensors running at full 60 frames/s. A newly developed DSP offers accuracy with 14-bit A/D conversion and 19-bit inner processing. A 12-axis matrix control provides lifelike color accuracy, with independent color control.
• Camera system uses two imaging systems
  Simultaneous framing and streak system incorporates two high-performance imaging systems, the SIM-8 ultrafast framing camera and the SC Optoscope streak camera. Incorporating a supplementary optical port that uses a beamsplitter to deliver 50% of the primary image to an image plane, the SIM-8 framing camera allows secondary instruments such as streak cameras or time-resolved spectrometers to share the same optical axis as the framing channels.
• Vision system is compact
  VISTA-P4 machine-vision system can be supplied with half-length, PCI, or PCI Express frame grabber. Alternatively, onboard USB, IEEE 1394, or GigE Vision interfaces deploy cameras without additional hardware. Features include operation with popular frame grabbers and on single 12-Vdc supply voltage. It comes in a 7.48 ? 7.68 ? 3.27-in. industrial enclosure.
