Greg Blackman reports from Embedded World, in Nuremberg, where he finds rapid progress in technology for imaging at the edge
In its seminar, Allied Vision will give an overview of the machine vision and embedded vision worlds, and what differentiates them. With the rise of powerful single board computers and system on modules, machine vision and embedded vision are moving closer together. Even though the pure processing power of embedded systems still falls behind traditional PC-based systems, they often employ dedicated hardware to accelerate certain tasks directly on the board.
Basler's embedded vision development kit, which won an Embedded World award, along with numerous other vision technology for embedded processing, was on display during the Embedded World trade fair at the end of February in Nuremberg, Germany
Allied Vision has launched the Goldeye G/CL-033 Tecless camera, a SWIR industrial camera designed using Sofradir's Snake SW Tecless infrared detector
Allied Vision will be exhibiting at SPIE Photonics West, where the first models of the new Alvium camera series will take centre stage
Greg Blackman reports on the buzz surrounding embedded vision at the Vision Stuttgart trade fair, which took place from 6 to 8 November
Allied Vision presented the first models of its new Alvium camera series at the Vision show in Stuttgart
Lakesight Technologies has been acquired by the TKH Group, the Netherland’s-based company that owns Allied Vision, NET, and LMI Technologies
Allied Vision (1D30) will present its new Alvium camera series. With extensive functions for image correction and optimisation, a large selection of current sensors, intelligent energy management, and cost-optimised design, the new camera series combines the advantages of classic machine vision cameras with the advantages of embedded sensor modules. It opens up new ways for users to switch from PC-based image processing applications to embedded systems. Several live demonstrations running on different embedded boards will show cameras of the Alvium series in action.
Embedded vision will be one of the big talking points at the upcoming Vision show in Stuttgart, with many exhibitors displaying embedded products or those for embedded systems
