Unique High Speed CMOS and CCD Cameras

The current factory machine vision, high-speed research, and military applications market often requires mobility and massive storage. This means that high speed cameras that can be integrated with laptops or small computers are increasingly desirable. This feature enables capturing data from assembly lines on the factory floor or in the field. Thus cameras that can do in-camera processing or real-time compression are becoming more popular and are being increasingly adopted.

The main impediment to deployment of these portable vision systems has been the lack of real-time processing or massive data storage which is light- weight, flexible, and self-contained. FastVision has developed their FastCamera Series to achieve these goals. The 1.3 megapixel, 500 frames per second FastCamera13 can be purchased with up to one gigabyte of memory and a camera link or USB interface. A higher resolution camera is the FastCamera40 which has a four megapixel sensor, and can also record at 195 frames per second. Our newest camera, the FastCamera34 is a 200 frame per second VGA resolution smart camera at a price comparable to similar non-smart cameras. All these cameras can achieve real-time compression or use the new FastVault- FL, an 800 MBytes/sec flash recorder that stores up to 320 Gbytes of data. Also data reduction can be achieved by real-time, in-camera processing of images.

The FastCamera13, FastCamera40, and FastCamera34 also can be fitted with image intensifiers, providing up to a 70,000 to 1 gain. The spectrum coverage is quite wide, from UV into NIR. All of these cameras are priced competitively.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE FASTCAMERA SERIES

• Unparalleled in-camera memory for processing or storage

• Large Programmable FPGA for custom, in-camera applications.

• Lossless real-time, in-camera image compression of 1.5 – 2:1 for reduced download overhead and storage

• Lossy JPEG real-time in-camera compression which enables 20-30 seconds of storage, real-time USB 2.0 or basic camera link download using PCMCIA cards.
