 Trends in Industrial Image Processing The change from analog to digital technologies in the industrial image-processing (IIP) sector is in full swing. Therefore, the reliable frame grabber appears to be increasingly headed out to pasture. This is because digital communications interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, USB and FireWire allow for adequate camera-based solutions without image-capture cards. "Nevertheless the frame grabber will continue to find its niche," says Mathias Leumann, CEO of Leutron Vision AG. Leumann explains the latest trends in the world of IIP HERE. |

Image Capturing on the Cheap
by Chuck Petersen
Frame grabbers are plug-in boards for a computer's expansion slots that take camera image data and convert the data to a computer's bus format. They have connectors for cables that attach to machine vision cameras. Frame grabbers optionally process the camera's image data as it passes through to the computer's expansion bus. After the image data is in the computer's memory system, machine vision software controls the system's processors to inspect for defects in a manufacturing system. LEARN MORE
