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

    Camera technology a flexible and cost-effective option
    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
