VisionCam PS 3D - preliminary
Intelligent Camera for 3D
Laser triangulation - 3D - Intelligent camera.
What is new? Our camera head with LinLog® technology Photonfocus provides full 3D resolution 150 lines/second (By ROI up to several thousand). A newly developed algorithm ensures that - in real time - the best spot of the laser line is found. This creates realistic 3D information of the object.
(1) That means the 3D data of the camera are very good - a post processing in the image processing is usually unnecessary.
Many 3D applications must - that can be expected in world coordinates [mm] - to be calibrated. This can't be a camera on its own and it is always application dependent. In this case you need an external computer. The VisionCam PS 3D can convert values in its processing unit.
(2) The camera itself is able to perform the calibration (application dependent).
In the industrial image processing, it is usually a good-/bad decision - and not the recording of 3D image data. 3D is just a tool, as we see other other properties of the object in the 3rd dimension.This evaluation will take place in the camera. And it is well prepared for this: With a 1.0 or 1.2 GHz DSP, 256 MB or 512 MB of RAM it has enough processing power to perform the 3D analysis.
Example calculation: 150 3D-lines per second, each with 1024 height information = data rate 154 KByte/s = 6510 processor cycles per height information.
(3) The camera itself takes on the integrated processor, the entire application and decides pass or fail.
The new definition of the Intelligent Camera!
-
The camera sensor is optimized for machine vision using mega-pixel resolution.
-
Fast machines need fast images: 150 3D lines/s
-
3D evaluation (sub-pixels) in real time in the integrated FPGA
-
Many images (laser, welding, electronic engineering groups, foil, ...) have high dynamics - which can be handled by the camera: 120dB.
-
Optimal image acquisition due to LinLog characteristic and multiple area of interest.
-
Good images make tasks easy for the software: 8000 MIPS computer performance are available for complex algorithms.
-
Images, scenes, intermediate images, data - 256 MB RAM open up possibilities.
-
Error images, intermediate results, testing documentation - no problem for the 2 GB SD-Card.
-
Switching and administration: 3/3 opto-decoupled IOs.
-
Fasten on flash and rotary encoder: 3/3 RS 422.
-
No danger of extinction: 1x RS232.
-
Communication is easy and quick: 1 GBit/s Ethernet.
-
Whether C++ algorithm, free source or library HALCON - programming is made easy.
-
Practical integration: 60mm x 60mm x 135mm with 8 watt power consumption.
-
Delivery includes start-up program with many features!
