High Speed Camera提供實機展示

The FastCamera13 is a high-speed megapixel digital camera system, based on a CMOS imager with an global electronic shutter. This camera has a high-speed, scaleable, integrated FPGA and memory subsystem which enable stand-alone high speed in-camera image processing. When integrated with a camera link framegrabber/coprocessor board, the resulting system capabilities can be expanded by adding processors and memory on the board according to the needs of the user. Another option is the USB2.0 version which allows the full rate capture of events in the camera for eventual downloading.

FPGA AND MEMORY OPTIONS:

FPGA size options from 280K to three million gates
40 bit memory up to 160MB at 266 Mhz
80 bit memory up to 320 MB at 266 Mhz.

CAMERA CONTROL INTERFACE:

USB2.0 control with USB2.0 option
FastCamera13 uses RS-644 serial communication as specified in the Camera LinkTM standard
The RS-644 serial connection in the Camera LinkTM interface is used to issue commands to the camera for changing modes and parameters
The serial link can also be used to query the camera about its current setup

MODES OF OPERATION:

The system supports a wide range of custom user selected ROI's and operating modes. For example, full resolution 1280x1024 frames at 500 fps with smaller ROI speeds of up to 100x100 pixels at 5000 fps , 1X1280 pixels at 500,000 fps. There is a wide range of availble real-time algorithms such as:

Image storage up to 800 full size frames at full speed without compression
Image averaging
By pixel gain and offset calibration
Programmable ROI (via serial port)
Image sub-sampling
Convolution filtering
Binarization with dynamic threshold
Lossless and lossy real-time compression at full speed using VHDL and Verilog compatible IP
VHDL customizable processing

The system can be provided with dedicated software to perform gauging, tooling and pattern matching in the camera. Thus providing a stand-alone system for real-time, flexible measurement and pattern analysis applications.
