MUNSTER, GERMANY (PRWEB) February 29, 2012
XIMEA GmbH, manufacturer of machine vision cameras and hardware, has released the new technical white paper, “PC Cameras: PC-Host Vision Performance Without Sacrifice. The paper, which is free to the public, explains how new low-power/low-thermal dissipation microprocessors and GPU-accelerated multicore processors enable machine vision camera makers to put all the functionality of a PC and PLC inside a solid-state digital camera for automated quality inspection, measurement, and robot guidance applications.
These are just a few examples of how machine vision clients can benefit from a new class of industrial PC camera described in PC Cameras: PC-Host Vision Performance Without Sacrifice, a new white paper from XIMEA GmbH, manufacturer of industrial, smart camera, and scientific imaging equipment.
In the past, machine vision customers have had to choose between fully functional, space-hogging PC-host systems and compact, smart cameras that are not all that smart. Until now, cutting-edge microprocessors capable of 10s of Gigaflops per second generated too much heat for a smart camera form factor. This new white paper explains how products such as XIMEAs new CURRERA line of PC cameras use high-speed, low-power Intel Atom and AMD Fusion microprocessors with zero copy transfers to achieve upwards of 90 Gigaflops enough to match a PC-host system with enough spare horsepower to include an integrated PLC with microsecond latency.
By downloading XIMEAs newest PC Camera white paper you automatically get entered to win a CURRERA-R starter kit while learning more about the capabilities of PC cameras, including support for fully functional and embedded versions of Windows 7 and Linux OS; user-selectable, full image processing software libraries; and integrated PLC and PC peripheral device support.
