The first Genie Nano camera model with a quad-polarizer filter using the Sony Pregius IMX250-MZR 5.1MP monochrome image sensor is now available. The Teledyne Dalsa Nano M2450 camera incorporates the nanowire polarizer filter allowing detection of both the angle and amount of polarized light. What problems can the Nano M2450 polarized camera solve? Polarized filtering …
Pulsing (aka strobing) a machine vision LED light is powerful technique that can beneficial to machine vision systems in various ways. This blog post outlines 5 benefits you will receive from pulsing a LED light head. Gardasoft is an industry leader in strobe controllers capable of driving 3rd party LED light heads or custom …

In any industrial camera application, one key setting is the exposure time of the camera. In cases where this is set arbitrarily, the resulting image maybe blurry due to movement of the scene we are imaging. To maximize our settings, we can calculate the minimum exposure time to eliminate blur and maximize our …

CMOS Image sensors used in machine vision industrial cameras are now the image sensor of choice! But why is this? Allied Vision conducted a nice comparison between CCD and CMOS cameras showing the advantages in the latest Manta cameras. Until recently, CCD was generally recommended for better image quality with the following properties: High pixel …
