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 …

Single sensor machine vision cameras use a mosaic filter placed on the sensor to create color images. This is also called a ‘Bayer’ filter, named after the person who invented it. However, color images from this filter lose resolution and color fidelity compared to ‘true’ color images. Spatial resolution is lost due to interpolation, while …
The sleepability factor, or how saving $50 on a machine vision camera could cost you thousands! As an independent machine vision camera distributor, we are asked about the manufacturers we represent. Out of all them, we have chosen to only carry products from a few machine vision camera and lens companies of which we have …
