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

    Teledyne e2v says its Emerald 2M sensor helps to lower the cost of a full HD camera system as it is compatible with low-cost 1/3” optics. The CMOS image sensor is optimised for machine vision applications and includes 5° chief ray angle compensation, the company adds. According to Teledyne, Emerald 2M’s global shutter and MIPI CSI-2 interface allow it to utilise image signal processors available for mobile applications. The sensor comes with digital functionalities such as multi region of interest, subs

    An indication of just how far beyond spot speed and red light the enforcement sector has progressed was evident in the range of new and improved equipment on display at the recent Traffex event in Birmingham. One of the key trends, particularly in the UK but also evident elsewhere, is the increase in average speed enforcement, according to RedSpeed’s managing director Robert Ryan, who predicts a big increase in installations this year. “The price point has reached a level authorities can afford,” he says, a

    Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solutions (ISS) division 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
