Real time wing beat analysis of drosophila
( PDF, 1087 kb, Revision: 1.0)

This application report deals with the design and application of a novel high speed computer vision system for real-time analysis of the wing kinematics of tethered flying fruit flies. The system uses a camera with dynamic regions of interes (ROI) to increase temporal resolution from localized sampling, without loss of spatial resolution.

How much intelligence does a camera need?
( PDF, 317 kb, Revision: Rev. 1.0)

The demands placed on the intelligence of a camera are determined in large part by the role the camera plays in image processing systems, and are based on the applications used. Today cameras are not only used for recording images but also for pre-processing image data. With “intelligent” cameras, as they are called, this goes even further: they are implemented as DSP or PC cameras and represent complete image processing systems.

Leica Geosystems walk-around measurement system
( PDF, 1309 kb, Revision: 1.0)

Leica Geosystems developed an armless coordinate measuring machine (CMM), the T-Probe and T-Scan, for use with its laser trackers. The combination of the tracker technology with photogrammetry forms the base of Leica Geosystems’ new Local Positioning Technology (LPT) that enables real time measurements with freely in space moved hand held devices such as the T-Probe and T-Scan. The Photonfocus imager is an important component of this measurement system.

CMOS cameras control laser welding process
( PDF, 95 kb, Revision: Rev. 1.0)

Radiation from the working zone during laser welding is captured by a CMOS camera from Photonfocus and the images processed in a PC. The high speed and exceptional contrast of the camera ensure that the welding process is optimally controlled and adjusted. This results in a significant improvement in productivity and quality.

CMOS cameras of Photonfocus for 3D laser measuring technology
( PDF, 182 kb, Revision: 1.0)

Important parameters for trouble-free rail traffic are the rail profile, the position of the rail, the track gauge, wear of the rail bodies and the sinking of the track bed. The 3D laser measuring technology presented here is based on the principle of laser light section procedure and can be used in production in the rolling plant as well as the body of the rail car or in special and service vehicles.

Fast windowing
( PDF, 83 kb, Revision: 1.0)

The two companies Photonfocus AG and Silicon Software GmbH developed a joint solution to support the acquisitions of very fast image sequences with varying system configuration in subsequent frames. On the basis of a fast, high resolution CMOS camera and an intelligent FPGA-framegrabber, regions of interest (ROIs) can dynamically be defined with respect to size and position; exposure time as well as the sensitivity can be adjusted within each ROI independently.
