Omron Automation launched a line of reasonably priced and compact board-level cameras designed particularly for embedded imaginative and prescient functions. The Omron B Sequence GigE Imaginative and prescient cameras are full-featured cameras that don’t want an enclosure.

That includes Sony’s Pregius and Starvis CMOS sensors with resolutions as much as 20 megapixels and body charges as much as 282.8 FPS, the cameras intention to handle the issue, Omron mentioned, of conventional imaginative and prescient programs which can be usually too cumbersome, advanced or costly for some tasks.

Measuring 1.25 inches (38 mm) per facet, the cameras are small and light-weight sufficient to combine into embedded programs with out having to revamp, Omron mentioned. The digicam programs assist Microsoft Home windows, Apple iOS, Linux, and single-board laptop working programs.

Omron mentioned the small type issue and versatile imaging capabilities give designers new choices so as to add imaginative and prescient to a broader vary of merchandise and processes. As much as 100 cameras could be put in on a single community, and could be powered utilizing Energy over Ethernet or with an exterior energy provide. The entire cameras meet the IEEE 1588 normal, which permits for the usage of Precision Time Protocol, P2P, and extra, the corporate mentioned.

The B-Sequence is designed to be used in extremely industrialized and excessive pace functions, particularly within the machine imaginative and prescient, life science, automotive, semiconductor and automation industries. A number of the functions that are perfect for the B-Sequence are: embedded imaginative and prescient, vision-guided robotics, defect evaluation, medical diagnostics, inspection and rather more.

Omron mentioned its Sentch software program growth package is free, and consists of simply modifiable samples of widespread features. A full datasheet could be downloaded right here.
