Integrating a single liquid lens into an imaging assembly can produce extremely flexible machine vision systems capable of rapidly changing their focus in milliseconds. Find out more about the different types of liquid lenses available and understand the benefits of liquid lens integration.
Greg Blackman reports on the latest lens technology presented during Vision Stuttgart, including optics designed to withstand shock
Greg Blackman spoke to the EMVA’s Arnaud Darmont about plans to establish a standard for embedded vision products
Machine vision industry bodies have begun the first steps to define a standard interface for lenses. Imaging and Machine Vision Europe speaks to EMVA's Arnaud Darmont about plans for the standard
Technology that advances 3D imaging, makes lenses more resistant to vibration, turns a CMOS camera virtually into a CCD, and makes SWIR imaging less expensive, are all innovations shortlisted for this year’s Vision Award, to be presented at the Vision show in Stuttgart
The Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) curve is an information-dense metric that reflects how a lens reproduces contrast as spatial frequency (resolution) varies. MTF curves can be used to compare the performance of multiple lenses and can help determine if an application is actually feasible with the respective lens.
The European Machine Vision Association has appointed Arnaud Darmont as its new standards manager, who will be responsible for identifying new standardisation needs
Stemmer Imaging’s series of technology days included talks from various lens manufacturers. Here, we round up some of what was discussed at the event
Professor Dr Bernd Jähne at HCI, Heidelberg University, and an EMVA board member, argues that an open lens-camera communication standard would greatly benefit the machine vision community
Camera systems measuring millimetres and costing only one dollar are now possible thanks to electronic and optical developments in wafer-level technology, Ams's Antonio Gomes said at Embedded Vision Europe in Stuttgart. Matthew Dale reports
Greg Blackman reports on CEA Leti's new image sensor, shown at Photonics West, which contains onboard processing and is able to image at 5,500 frames per second
