Flir debuts new deep learning Firefly camera

At this year’s Vision show, Flir debuts the world’s first industrial camera supporting on-camera inference. The new Flir Firefly camera combines the best of machine vision with the power of deep learning. At just 27mm x 27mm x 14mm, 20 grammes weight, and 1.5W power consumption, it is ideal for portable devices. Excellent imaging is provided with the latest global shutter CMOS sensors, the company says. And, Flir adds, with its integrated Intel Movidius Myriad 2 vision processing unit (VPU), users deploy th

    Machine vision offers new solutions to old problems
    The transportation sector is set to benefit from a far wider range of machine vision technology. 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

    Camera technology a flexible and cost-effective option
    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
