Grasshopper2 camera series

Point Grey has launched the Grasshopper2 GigE Vision digital camera series. The first available models incorporate a Gigabit Ethernet digital interface and are based on mono and colour versions of the Sony ICX274, a 2 megapixel CCD that runs at 30fps; and the ICX625, a 5 megapixel CCD that runs at 15fps. The compact Grasshopper2 measures just 44x29x58mm in size and offers new features such as opto-isolated GPIO for industrial triggering and strobe output, new multi-exposure trigger modes, and improved on-ca

    Transportation applications move to machine vision’s mainstream
    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
