Manta series expanded

Allied Vision Technologies has expanded its best-selling Manta camera series. Alongside two new models - the G-145/30fps and G-201/30fps - each member of the family is getting new firmware with additional functions as well as a wide selection of modular concept variations, including a GigE Vision interface with Power over Ethernet support.

518 Allied Vision Technologies has expanded its best-selling Manta camera series. Alongside two new models - the G-145/30fps and G-201/30fps - each member of the family is getting new firmware with additional functions as well as a wide selection of modular concept variations, including a GigE Vision interface with Power over Ethernet support.

The Manta G-145/30fps is based on the already wellknown Manta G-145 with 576 Sony ICX285, but it delivers 30 images per second at full resolution, 1.4 megapixels which is twice as many as its sister model. Meanwhile, the new Manta G-201/30fps is similar; like the Manta G-201 it is equipped with the two-megapixel Sony ICX 274 CCD sensor but instead of 14fps it achieves 30 fps at full resolution.

Additional optional hardware variants for all Mantra family models include four different turned-head housings to ease fitting the camera into systems where depth clearance is tight. Also new is the Power over Ethernet (PoE) interface. This Gigabit Ethernet interface enables the implementation of so-called 'single cable solutions' within the Manta family, since power is delivered via the data cable. Meanwhile, all Manta cameras now have new firmware with many additional functions for even better camera control, camera adjustment, and image processing.

    Glare from the sun is a factor in a large number of road accidents – many of them fatal. But there is a solution at hand: using polarisation can mitigate the effect of glare and improve ITS camera enforcement, explains Stephane Clauss The effect of glare on driver safety has been well documented. A 2013 UK study by the country’s largest driver organisation, the AA, calculated sun glare was a contributing cause in almost 3,000 road accidents in 2012 alone. This represented one in 33 accidents on Britain’s

    Machine vision techniques hold the potential to solve a multitude of challenges facing the transportation sector Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the base technology for number plate recognition, has been in industrial use for more than three decades. It is a prime example of how, instead of having to start from scratch, the transportation sector can leverage and adapt the machine vision expertise already used in industry in order to provide robust solutions with new capabilities. “The real val

    Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solutions (ISS) says its XCL-SG1240 series of Camera Link V2.0 modules utilise a 1.1-type global shutter CMOS sensor to deliver 12 MP images at 20 fps. These cameras are suited to sectors which require exceptional detail including low (0.5 lx) or changing lighting conditions, the company adds. The module was developed by Sony ISS engineers who worked with the Sony 1.1-type Pregius GS CMOS sensor with the intention of developing a solution which extracts better image qualit
