Point Grey increases CCD sensitivity

Point Grey’s new addition to its Grasshopper3 camera family, the Grasshopper3 GS3-U3-28S5, features high quality, high resolution CCD sensors with a USB 3.0 interface. The new camera models are based on colour and monochrome versions of the fast and highly sensitive Sony ICX674, a 2/3” CCD featuring 4.54 micron square pixels and capable of sending 1932 x 1452 images at 26 FPS. The ICX674 sensor supports high definition (HD) 1080p30 imaging and uses Sony’s EXview HAD CCD II technology to improve quantum effi

541 Point Grey’s new addition to its Grasshopper3 camera family, the Grasshopper3 GS3-U3-28S5, features high quality, high resolution CCD sensors with a USB 3.0 interface.

The new camera models are based on colour and monochrome versions of the fast and highly sensitive 576 Sony ICX674, a 2/3” CCD featuring 4.54 micron square pixels and capable of sending 1932 x 1452 images at 26 FPS. The ICX674 sensor supports high definition (HD) 1080p30 imaging and uses Sony’s EXview HAD CCD II technology to improve quantum efficiency, reduce smear, and increase sensitivity, including into the near infrared.

Like all Point Grey USB 3.0 cameras, the Grasshopper3 is built on an FPGA and frame buffer-based architecture to provide optimal reliability, a rich set of features, and a full image processing pipeline including color interpolation, look up table, gamma correction and pixel binning.

    Videology has added another extended SDI camera board to its latest range of cameras designed for traffic monitoring, surveillance and other non-traffic functions. Designated the 24RS2.0.XWEXSDI, it can transmit 1080P HD images up to 300m (1,000ft). The camera board is designed to obtain images beyond the human eye without near-IR LED illumination, which can also be used if required. Colour noise is reduced and colour brightness is enhanced. Sony Starvis’ sensor captures the available photon beyond near-IR

    Baumer’s LX cameras are expected to offer high resolutions and frame rates up to 337fps and 3D algorithms for inspections in railway networks and catenary infrastructure. The company says the global shutter CMOS cameras provide resolutions up to 48 megapixel for inspecting tracks, rails and catenary wires. Also, the LX models come with exposure times of less than 10 µs for precise image acquisition even at high speed. For inspections of pantographs, wheels or brakes, the LX 3D cameras use laser triangula
