Sony Europe 8784 Imaging Sensing Solutions has launched its industrial vision global shutter complementary metal oxide semiconductor (GS CMOS) module to use the USB3.0 transmission standard. Called XCU-CG160, the solution has a 1.6MP resolution and is said to transmit data at 100 frames per second.


XCU-CG160 intends to create a migration path from charge-coupled device to GS CMOS without system upgrades or a changed architecture.

The device also includes key image-processing features such as gain and defect pixel correction as well as shading correction.

    Basler claims a single Ace U camera can monitor multi-lane highways. The Ace U Models feature 20 MP resolution and are expected to be suitable for the inspection of structures such as printed circuit board or display production. According to Basler, the U Models allow customers to use fewer cameras to achieve the same amount of pixels than before with cameras with lower resolution. This can also help reduce issues of image registration and mechanical alignment. The GigE models feature the in-camera
