Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies company, announces Topaz5D™, a full-HD CMOS image sensor designed to combine 2D vision with the generation of 3D depth maps.

Teledyne e2v announces OnyxMax™, the next generation of its Onyx 1.3M low light CMOS image sensor.

A smart camera in the machine vision market is defined by its system architecture, experts say. Specifically, a smart camera packages an imaging sensor, sensor interface, computer, and I/O interface into a single package.

JAI announced the availability of four new 3-CMOS prism color cameras designed for use in microscopy-based systems where maximum control of dust, lint, and other foreign object debris particles (FODs) in the optical path is critical.

The machine vision industry is primed for continued growth in the coming decade. Built on the rapid advancement of smarter, smaller, faster and cheaper sensors and processors, the industry was estimated at about $7.9 billion in 2017. By 2023, it could grow to about $12.29 billion, according to according to a study by Research and Markets, growing at an annual rate of almost 8%.

Teledyne DALSA introduced its newest Genie Nano cameras built around ON Semiconductor’s Python P3 1.3M CMOS image sensors. These new models feature a global shutter, with 1280 x 1024 resolution, and image capture of up to 83 frames-per-second with Teledyne’s TurboDrive technology. 

JAI announced the addition of a new high-speed trilinear color line scan camera to its Sweep Series camera family. The new SW-4000TL-PMCL features a custom CMOS trilinear imager with 4K (4096 pixels) resolution and a maximum full line rate of 66 kHz for 24-bit non-interpolated RGB output. 

Advances in camera, sensor, and video interface technologies have helped power the continuing development of machine vision solutions for manufacturing and quality inspection that far surpass the abilities of any human.

A charge-coupled device, or CCD, is by far the most common image capture mechanism used for industries that require high-quality image data.
