8526 Baumer’s new industrial camera series uses the latest generation of CMOS global shutter sensors for maximum sensitivity at short exposure time, on a high dynamic range and resolutions up to 25MP.

The cameras are available in monochrome and colour and with ultra-high sensitivity within the NIR range.

The CX series cameras, with Sony Pregius sensors and GigE or USB 3.0 interface are suitable for automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) applications. Offering low noise and featuring a dynamic range of more than 70dB, the cameras supply high-contrast and sharp images for maximum image evaluation stability even in extreme brightness. Horizontal resolutions from 1920 to 4096 pixels enable a single camera to monitor several lanes, depending on the application and on-site requirements. The cameras feature low power consumption and a wide temperature range.

The LX series cameras offer up to 25MP, Dual GigE interface and burst mode for applications where image acquisition requires maximum speed and high resolution in parallel. Baumer GAPI software development kit supporting ARM platforms ensures convenient and cost-efficient camera integration in embedded applications.

    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

    Intelligent traffic cameras open up a host of possibilities for traffic planners and controllers alike. If traffic management centres (TMCs) around the world are to cope with the increasing demands of growing traffic flows while maintaining or improving transport safety and efficiency, then video monitoring will have to be supplemented by automated warnings of incidents or deviations. According to Patrik Anderson, business development director at Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications, it is no

    Sony has launched a new 1/1.7-type stacked Cmos image sensor with a 7.42 (effective) megapixel RCCC filter for forward sensing cameras in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The IMX324 aims to provide high definition imaging of signs approximately 160m ahead of the camera. In pixel binning mode the low light sensitivity is increased to 2,666 mV, to capture images in conditions down to 0.1 lux. In mixed lighting scenes (such as headlights and streetlights) it alternately captures dark sections at

    What is said to be the first 30x zoom camera module with a global shutter sensor is being displayed on Tamron Europe’s stand. Global shutters remove (or minimise) the blur associated with rolling shutters capturing fast-moving objects such as vehicles (as also illustrated on Tamron’s stand). Designated the MP2030M-GS, the module uses a 32mm (1.125inch) 3.2 megapixel Sony global shutter sensor with a digital (LVDS) output or a composite output in the CVBS format. The remotely activated zoom lens ranges in
