Basler’s four Ace U cameras

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

7094 Basler claims a single 8794 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 feature PTP (Precision-Time-Protocol) and a Power over Ethernet Option to allow vision engineers to realise a single cable solution without additional hardware.

    Ford recently conducted tests at its Arizona proving ground to determine how autonomous cars could navigate at night without headlights. According to Ford, it’s an important development, in that it shows that even without cameras, which rely on light, Ford’s LiDAR, working with the car’s virtual driver software, is robust enough to steer around winding roads. While it’s ideal to have all three modes of sensors, radar, cameras and LiDAR, the latter can function independently on roads without stoplights.
