Cameras are the base units for any Machine Vision based automation and Imaging applications. Setting up a machine vision system, the choice of camera will depend on the objects that are to be inspected, the necessary speed, lighting and temperature, and available space. Machine Vision cameras are manufactured as Monochrome and Color Area Scan and Monochrome and Color Line Scan with interfaces such as GigE Vision, Camera Link, USB 3.0, Camera Link HS, Coexpress, HD SDI, 5 GigE, 10 GigE, Dual GigE etc. Machine Vision Cameras are also made in different shapes and sizes. Color Machine Vision Cameras are available as Bayer cameras and True RGB Cameras both in Line Scan and Area scan models.

Frame grabbers are required for cameras that output analog video, camera Link, Coexpress, HS LINK, HD SDI etc. Frame grabbers and video capture cards on PCI and PCI Xpress slots are available for desktops and Capture cards with PCMCIA and EXPRESS slots are available for Laptops. Video processors and Vision processors are also available for different inputs and different applications that include creating embedded systems with processors and FPGA. Frame grabbers that support different operating systems like Windows, Linux, MAC etc are available.

A camera lens is an optical device with single or assembly of lenses used in conjunction with a camera to make images of objects on the sensor. There are variety of lenses available according to the need as CCTV, Machine Vision, Zoom, Macro, Micro, Standard, Telocentric etc. The ability to quickly perform repeatable, high accuracy measurements is critical to maximize the performance of many machine vision system and would solely depend on proper selection of Lenses and Lighting apart from the needed camera and software.

Imaging and Machine Vision projects and algorithm development requires consistency on Image capture in terms of gray scale or color values. This can be achieved only by proper controlled Lighting environment. List of Lighting systems suitable for different applications are available. The list includes LED based Spot Lights and Projectors, Ring Lights, Dome Lights, Bar Lights, Backlights, Line scan Illumination, IR & UV lights etc., Halogen Light sources, Fiber Optic Light Guides etc.As universal fact No Light No Vision - Machine Vision also cannot be implemented without proper machine vision lighting setup.

MidOpt filters are the premier solution for industrial imaging to ensure flawless control, dependable results and the very best image quality. Every filter is produced with the highest standards in durability, so they can withstand even the harshest environments. Unlike traditional filters, MidOpt filters are designed with a Gaussian transmission curve to allow maximum transmission, emulate the output of the most common LED wavelengths and are less angular dependent.

Teledyne DALSA offers powerful, innovative 3D sensors combining industry-leading performance with cutting-edge feature sets and value.

A smart camera or intelligent camera is a machine vision system which, in addition to image capture circuitry, is capable of extracting application-specific information from the captured images, along with generating event descriptions or making decisions that are used in an intelligent and automated system. A smart camera is a self-contained, standalone vision system with built-in image sensor in the housing of an industrial video camera. It contains all necessary communication interfaces, e.g. Ethernet, as well as industry-proof 24V I/OP lines for connection to a PCL, actuators, relays or pneumatic valves. It is not necessarily larger than an industrial or surveillance camera. A capability in machine vision generally means a degree of development such that these capabilities are ready for use on individual applications.

Software offering field proven image acquisition, control and processing and analysis functions to design, develop and deploy high-performance Image processing and Machine vision applications Software is available as easy to use GUI tool and/or as SDK for Programming compatible with different Operating Systems and Development platforms like Visual Studio etc. All hardware in the field of Imaging and Vision like Cameras, Frame grabbers, Optics, Lighting all would remain useless without Software. Software is the key component to accomplish the needed results in General imaging, biomedical, AI , Machine Vision etc. Software is the one that gives life to all hardware.

Our vision systems are built to thrive in harsh industrial environments and feature compatibility with a wide range of cameras plus your choice of easy-to-use embedded vision software (Sherlock or iNspect Express) that will let you get your inspection application running in no time.

HIGH SPEED FROM A COMPACT VIDEO RECORDER With image sensor resolutions and frame rates always advancing, digital video data rates continue to climb. The original DVR Express® Core was able to record video at data rates up to 680 MB/s, which was adequate for many but not all situations.

Teledyne DALSA offers powerful, innovative CCD and CMOS X-Ray detectors combining industry-leading performance with cutting-edge features for industrial and scientific applications such as NDT (non destructive testing) in evaluation, troubleshooting, research, and quality control.

To CAPTURE, MONITOR, STORE, ACT, REACT and AUDIT the entry of vehicles in any premises or highways etc.is the need of the hour. An automated IMAGE BASED system to do all. Machine Vision Cameras and technologies are used in the products. Technology helps to do so. Humans are categorized or called in different names in different places as a customer, consumer, traveler, the viewer, guest, student, worker etc. In every name and designation carried by him, demand for respect to him is expected even when it comes to handling safety measures. In different forms, he has to be treated as boss and see to that he is not insulted or disturbed a lot during these security checks and safety measures. Security has now has no boundaries of imagination and innovation in terms of products getting introduced.

Online Kits are designed specifically for Educational & Research Institutions to set up Labs on IMAGING, MACHINE VISION, and BIOMETRICS etc. for Teaching, Learning and Development. The kits include training material, tutorials, real world project development tools, related accessories, conceptual experiment setups etc. Education is an experience that enlightens. Education in any age of life from kinder garden to universities will require the study of theory and understand the concepts through practical sessions.

E-books are the modern way of learning and teaching concepts. E-books on Engineering Fracture Mechanics, Experimental Stress Analysis, Imaging and Machine Vision are available

With more than 20 years of experience in the field of Imaging and Vision, Online Solutions has introduced courses specifically towards "Make In India" campaign. Courses on Advanced Imaging and Machine Vision that would provide insight on Automation to Industry and scope of research in various areas like Steel, Biomedical, component manufacturing etc.
