When it comes to monitoring large commercial vehicles, like a bus, limousine, or a semi-truck, a commercial vehicle surveillance system allows the driver to keep tabs on even the hardest-to-see areas. Truck camera systems are designed to provide both the driver and vehicle owner a complete view of the large [...]
As of May 2018, federal law has required that all new passenger cars, trucks, vans and other vehicles weighing less than 10,000 pounds be equipped with rearview monitoring technology. And in most cases that means rear-mounted video cameras. […]
Whether you are in the business of assembly operation or a fulfillment house, automating the distribution of broad and varied mix of parts or SKU’s is no longer a challenge. 3D vision robotics is changing the face of bin-picking. It will improve both the accuracy and speed when it comes [...]
Studying the human mind is challenging. Currently, most human brain studies are limited to non-invasive approaches, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This limits the examination of the human brain at the cellular level, which may offer novel insights into the development and potential treatment of various neurological diseases. [...]
TEM, or Transmission electron microscopy (also sometimes conventional transmission electron microscopy or CTEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than 100 nm thick or a suspension on a grid. An image is formed from the interaction of [...]
Food and beverage safety depends on flawless quality control, yet modern production lines move too quickly and handle too much variety for human inspectors to keep up. A single mislabeled package, underfilled bottle, or compromised seal can trigger costly recalls, regulatory penalties, and serious risks to consumer health. Machine vision technology addresses these challenges by combining high-resolution cameras, advanced optics, and intelligent software.
A new kind of precise and non-invasive imaging called optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has assisted much of the recent research on the eye’s connection with Alzheimer’s. It enables physicians to see the smallest veins in the back of the eye, including the red blood cells moving through the retina. [...]
Barcode scanners are extremely simple devices that can read and output printed barcodes to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the bar code’s image data provided by the sensor [...]
M12 Lenses, also referred to as S-Mount Lenses or Micro-Video Lenses, are board lenses used to focus an image onto a camera sensor. They are used in a variety of applications including automotive, forensics, pharmaceutical, and food inspection. These S-Mount Lenses are compact imaging lenses designed for use with many [...]
Within the sphere of industrial automation, the word ‘sensor’ typically refers to presence sensing devices such as limit switch, photo eye (photoelectric) and laser sensors. […]
