Why can’t we use any camera for a machine vision solution and should choose a specific industrial camera
Introduction Given the significant dependence of machine vision systems on the quality of the captured images, choosing the right kind of camera for your vision application is of paramount importance. It is because cameras are the “eyes” of a vision system and are critical to its performance. The right kind of camera selection is a key aspect in determining the quality and realization of the vision solution. Some factors to be considered while choosing the camera include the performance of the sensor, the interface technology, image transfer, camera features, and compatibility with the desired vision application. While commercial cameras offer good resolution and lower prices, they cannot be used in vision systems because machine vision cameras serve entirely different purposes. Some key features of a machine vision camera are: High shutter speed and frame rates Robustness and reliability Can be operated in harsh environments Long operational durations What is an Industria...
