An industrial camera is a key component in a machine vision system, and its essential function is to transform optical signals into orderly electrical signals. Choosing the right camera is also an important link in the design of a machine vision system. The camera not only directly determines the resolution and image quality of the collected images, but is also directly related to the operating mode of the entire system.

1. The shutter time of an industrial camera is very short, which can capture fast moving objects.

2. The image sensor of an industrial camera is progressive scan, while the image sensor of a general camera is interlaced, or even every three lines.

3. The shooting speed of industrial cameras is much higher than that of ordinary cameras

4. The output of industrial cameras is raw data, and its spectral range is often relatively wide, which is more suitable for high-quality image processing algorithms. For example, machine vision (Machine Vision) applications. However, the spectral range of pictures taken by a general camera (DSC) is only suitable for human vision, and after mjpeg compression, the image quality is poor.

How to select the drone aerial camera and what are the video interface types!

Common commercial photography drones, police drones, military drones and other mid-to-high-end projects generally choose to use high-definition zoom cameras. The selection of high-definition zoom cameras is referred to from the following aspects:

1. Camera zoom capability, generally 3 times, 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 30 times, 35 times, 36 times. The starlight level ranges from the focal length of 10MM to the focal length of 250, and the distance can be viewed from 2 to 3000 meters. Objects

2. The pixels of the camera are currently on the market with 1.3 million and 2 million video streams and 4K pixels. The camera function pixel will reach 16 million and 20 million!

3. Video output mode: choose different camera output modes according to different image transmissions, the common ones are SDI, HDMI, IP network

4. The weight and volume of the camera-the smaller and slower the better under the same conditions!
