The choice of camera data interface is a vital consideration both in traditional PC-based machine vision systems and in the increasingly important area of embedded vision.

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH is expanding its USB3 Vision camera range by more than 100 models in the coming weeks. The company integrates the entire range of Sony sensors in several camera families, which it currently already offers with a GigE Vision interface.

A machine vision interface connects a camera to a computer, transferring image data for processing and analysis. What you choose will impact your application, your system component options, and your results for a long time to come.

With the continually increasing demand on framerates, bit depths, and resolution, interface standards must adapt to these changes with new ways to transfer data with increased speed and robustness.

Point Grey announced the addition of a new 1.4 megapixel global shutter CCD model to its Grasshopper3 family of USB3 Vision cameras.

Technology development moves at a dizzying pace. Check the newswire, and you’ll find a list of new products that leapfrog what was heralded as the “latest and greatest” just months ago.

Matrox Imaging announced immediate availability of complete native support for the USB3 Vision camera interface standard in Matrox Imaging Library (MIL).

The component choices available in the architecture and configuration of machine vision inspection solutions are more numerous than ever.
