Point Grey's BlackFly USB3 camera

541 Point Grey has launched its largest selection yet of USB3 Vision and GigE Vision cameras, displayed at the recent Vision 2014 exhibition. The live demonstrations focused on three flagship camera families addressing a wide range of applications in machine vision and industrial imaging.

Drawing on today’s leading digital interface technologies, USB3 Vision and GigE Vision, they include the brand new ultra-compact, entry-level Chameleon3 featuring flexible form factors such as board-level options; the compact low-cost Blackfly ranging from VGA to 5.0 MP as well as the large-format, high performance Grasshopper3 cameras ranging from 1.4 MP to 12 MP CCD and CMOS, offering powerful, easy-to-use, and cost-effective alternatives for existing FireWire, USB 2.0, and analog solutions.

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi

In the transport sector roadside, trackside and platform cameras were devices for viewing and assessing a situation while individual sensors did all the clever stuff like traffic counting, speed calculation, queue lengths, signal status and so on. Well, not any more.

    It would be easy to fall into the trap of seeing machine vision as the vision-based solution for ITS and traffic, however Patrik Anderson, Director Business Development Transportation of Axis Communications, notes that many of the applications which are coming to be associated with machine vision – and, indeed, many of the characteristics, such as at-the-edge analytics and image processing – are also possible with open-standard networked video. Networked video brings a whole host of advantages, such as the
