What is a smart industrial camera
An intelligent industrial camera is not a simple camera, but a highly integrated miniature machine vision system. It integrates image acquisition, processing and communication functions into a single camera, thus providing a multi-functional, modular, high-reliability, and easy-to-implement machine vision solution. An intelligent industrial camera is generally composed of an image acquisition unit, an image processing unit, an image processing software, and a network communication device. Due to the application of the latest DSP, FPGA and large-capacity storage technologies, its intelligence has been continuously improved, which can meet the application requirements of various machine vision.
The industrial camera is a key component in the machine vision system, and its most essential function is to convert optical signals into ordered electrical signals. Choosing the right camera is also an important part in the design of the machine vision system. The choice of the camera not only directly determines the resolution and image quality of the collected images, but also is directly related to the operation mode of the entire system.
