VISION 2021: The long-anticipated return of machine vision’s influential trade fair
Alkeria - Hall 8, Stand C36
Alkeria is launching a USB3 line scan camera featuring a SWIR InGaAs sensor, NECTA S, capable of high-resolution acquisition in short-wave infrared bandwidth ranging from 950 to 1700 nm. This SWIR camera can reach up to a 40 kHz line rate with 14 bit A/D converter. It offers a high-speed USB3 interface, advanced I/O, and a compact and rugged aluminum case, making NECTA S suitable for many machine vision applications. The NECTA S comes in two versions: the NS05K, with 512 × 1 pixel resolution, and the NS1K, with 1024 × 1 pixel resolution. Both can be equipped with C-mount lens adapter.
Alkeria has developed a laser triangulation extension to provide its customers with a fast and reliable solution for their measurement and quality inspection issues. Alkeria cameras can define and extract the line position in every column of the acquired frame with sub-pixel precision. The Profilometer extension enables on-camera acceleration of the line position detection algorithm. Alkeria's cameras can extract and calculate profile coordinates by themselves, reducing the amount of data sent through the USB3 interface. Users can easily reach maximum sensor frame rate and collect only the data useful for the measurement. The system relies on the CELERA, CELERA One, and ARIA camera series.
Basler AG – Hall 8, Stand D50
Basler’s ace 2 Basic and ace 2 Pro are equipped with state-of-the-art CMOS sensor technology.

The Open eVision Deep Learning Bundle from Euresys is a set of three libraries (EasyClassify, EasySegment, and EasyLocate), tailored, parametrized, and optimized for analyzing images, particularly for machine vision applications. Based on large Convolutional Neural Networks, deep learning solves complex problems difficult or impossible to solve with so-called conventional computer vision algorithms. Learning by example, deep learning does not require the user to figure out how to classify or inspect parts, as it just learns, in an initial training phase, by being shown many images of the parts to be inspected. After successful training, it can be used to detect, segment, classify and count parts or defects.
The Open eVision 3D Bundle from Euresys is a set of four libraries providing 3D measurement, inspection, and localization functions for machine vision applications. Easy3DObject can automatically extract and measure 3D objects. Easy3DMatch features alignment functions to find the exact pose (position and orientation) of acquired 3D objects using a reference model. Easy3DLaserline provides the necessary functions to implement a high-precision calibrated laser line triangulation setup. The Easy3D Library manages 3D Depth Maps, Point Clouds, and ZMap objects and is compatible with a number of third-party sensors for a seamless integration. Finally, the 3D Viewer application completes the offering allowing it to interactively display Point Clouds and 3D objects.
