So you need a camera. You’re designing a vision system and know your application, your performance expectations, and you have a general idea of how that might translate into camera specifications and cost. But there are a lot of variables! There are so many ways to solve your vision requirement.
Teledyne Dalsa announced its next generation BOA2 Smart Camera featuring higher resolution imaging, dual-core processing and embedded iNspect Express application software
Greg Blackman looks at flat panel display inspection, where the higher resolution of displays and high-speed production make the inspection task particularly demanding

The best and the brightest graduate and undergraduate university students across engineering disciplines confront a NASA engineering challenge—in this case to build a planetary rover prototype that can navigate simulated lunar and Martian terrains as it performs a series of tasks.
Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and global leader in digital X-ray image sensors, announced its Rad-icon 3030 CMOS X-Ray detector
Before smart cameras made their debut in the market, PC-based systems with multiple cameras were used on the factory floors. In the early days, vision systems would have been used for inspection of the final product or verification of a sub-assembly, but today’s vision technology allows companies to include vision at every step of the manufacturing process
