Jai camera for advanced ITS systems

Jai has introduced two new 2MP industrial-grade CCD cameras featuring full HDTV resolution (1,920x1,080P) at 64fps, making them ideal for advanced traffic imaging and vehicle recognition applications in traffic management and traffic enforcement. The new AM-201CL (monochrome) and AB-201CL (colour) cameras are the second set of cameras from Jai to feature highperformance quad-tap CCD sensors from Kodak. Like the previously introduced 8MP cameras, the new HD cameras utilise the high speed of the quad-tap arch

78 JAI has introduced two new 2MP industrial-grade CCD cameras featuring full HDTV resolution (1,920x1,080P) at 64fps, making them ideal for advanced traffic imaging and vehicle recognition applications in traffic management and traffic enforcement.

The new AM-201CL (monochrome) and AB-201CL (colour) cameras are the second set of cameras from Jai to feature highperformance quad-tap CCD sensors from Kodak. Like the previously introduced 8MP cameras, the new HD cameras utilise the high speed of the quad-tap architecture without compromising image quality thanks to an advanced automatic channel balancing algorithm that continuously adjusts gain and offset of the individual channels to provide seamless results that are claimed to surpass the typical one-time balancing methods of other multi-tap cameras.

Like Jai's other high-resolution cameras, which now number well over 20 models between 2- and 16MP, the new AM-201CL and AB- 201CL cameras, which support Cmount lenses, incorporate a list of industrial-grade features to maximise performance in traffic and machine vision environments. These include precise sensor alignment, advanced thermal management, a built-in temperature sensor, and rugged construction with extensive shock and vibration testing performed.

The US auto industry is going through the worst crisis it has faced since the Great Depression. But it has embraced technologies that will produce the best-possible driving experience for the public. Ford was the first OEM to announce in-car internet radio and SYNC, its signature-branded User Interface (UI), is held up as the shining example of change embracement.

    October 26, 2022
    Today’s high-resolution cameras have many advantages if they have the right lens for the job. When that includes covering large areas or reducing cost by installing fewer cameras, you need a wide-angle lens. Fisheye style lenses with barrel distortion are routinely used to cover an ultra-wide field of view; however, they create a curved and distorted image which causes significant loss of resolution at the image edges. This presents a variety of issues for ITS applications such as difficulty in identification or recognition of objects and details.
