686 Pelco's new Spectra IV IP high-speed P/T/Z camera dome system, featuring H.264 compression, gives users the flexibility to select MJPEG, MPEG4 or industry-leading H.264 compression. Compared to MPEG4 compression, H.264 dramatically reduces bandwidth consumption and storage requirements while providing superior image quality.

"By adding our new Spectra IP TXB-N cartridge into an existing Spectra IV analogue dome system, customers can utilise IP video with H.264 compression without losing analogue viewing and control," says Pelco senior product manager, Brian Lane. "Along with H.264 compression quality, Spectra IV's improved x27 and x35 cameras feature better focus capabilities, a new lens for sharper image quality, and frame noise reduction for a cleaner image, all resulting in a better picture than ever for the customer."

    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

By 2025 almost 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas and in those cities there will be an estimated 6.2 billion private motorised trips every day. In order to manage this level of traffic growth, traffic management centres (TMCs) will need to both increase their monitoring capabilities and be able to detect traffic problems quickly, efficiently and r

While machine vision techniques have been applied to traffic management applications for some years, in some areas there can still be a shortage of knowledge about what the technology can offer transportation professionals. The image processing and interpretation functions of machine vision enables control room staff to be immediately alerted to occurrences requiring attention which, in turn, enables each person
