The cameras are aimed at users who are more interested in budget-friendly, compact, lightweight industrial cameras, than high-level machine vision systems. They can be used, for example, to provide visual support for robots, to guide autonomous vehicles, or for analysis tasks in laboratories.
Initially, the cameras will be available with 2.3 megapixel shutter sensors or 5MP rolling shutter sensors. Other types of will follow. Support for USB3 and Vision Standard compatibility (U3V/GenICam), means that the cameras can be integrated easily into image processing systems. They can be used with any suitable software, but they are particularly well-matched to IDS’ peak software development kit.
