High performance digital camera manufacturer 541 Point Grey has introduced plug-and-play interoperability between its Flea3 USB3 Vision cameras and NI Vision acquisition software, vision builder for automated inspection (AI) and the LabView vision development module.

The USB3 Vision machine vision interface standard is designed to enable seamless integration between USB 3.0 cameras, cables and image processing libraries from different vendors.

The standard defines a stream and control protocol, which leverages the success of GigE Vision and GenICam by relying on a standard format naming convention (SFNC) to maintain consistency in functionality and attribute naming. Existing GigE Vision users will be able to seamlessly transition to USB3 Vision and vice versa.

    There is a lot more that appears from this sector that is ITS on an international scale, once the surface is scratched. Over the past two months we’ve uncovered a surprising amount of technological progression hitherto unannounced to the transportation industry worldwide. For example, at the beginning of November we were at the Vision exhibition in Stuttgart. This magazine has followed developments from the machine vision sector for some time as advanced digital cameras and automated processing systems bega

    Teledyne Dalsa is to launch three Genie Nano cameras equipped with Sony CMOS sensors which it says can be used for ITS and traffic applications. The Genie Nano 2.4M, M1950 and C1950 models offer a cost-efficient solution for organisations looking to upgrade vision inspection systems from Sony charge-coupled device (CCD) to CMOS imaging, the company adds. According to Teledyne, the M1950 and C1950 enable high-speed image capture without smear or distortion while the 2.4M is built around the Sony Pregi

Increasingly, traffic management is becoming the natural partner of the civil engineer, improving flows over existing infrastructure to deliver an alternative to laying more blacktop. As in any emerging market, the first steps towards mature traffic management have not necessarily r
