Matrox Imaging simplifies machine vision system development
Matrox Imaging is announcing that developers of high-resolution 3D surface inspection systems based on Chromasens' 3DPIXA stereo line scan camera, Corona II illuminator and CS-3D software can source all additional system components from Matrox Imaging.
The Matrox Radient eV-CL Camera Link frame grabber and Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) vision software are suitable for capturing image data from the Chromasens camera. The raw data is then passed on to the CS-3D software, which generates the corresponding height map and colour image using the parallel processing capability of a GPU. The MIL software processes and analyses the height map and colour image for detailed 2D and 3D surface inspection. Matrox Supersight Solo a suitable HPC industrial imaging platform to host the third-party GPUs needed to run the CS-3D software.
Dr-Ing. Peter Kempf, key account manager, Chromasens GmbH, says: "Our 3DPIXA camera and CS-3D software embody the innovative merger of line scan technology and ultra-fast 3D stereo algorithms that has opened up the potential for new machine vision applications demanding precise and fast 2D and 3D measurements. Matrox Imaging is the only company that offers all the remaining components required to put together a complete 3D surface inspection system based on our technology."
Sam Lopez, director of sales and marketing, Matrox Imaging, says: "Machine vision system developers will appreciate that Matrox Imaging offers all the additional hardware and software they need to harness the unique capabilities of the Chromasens 3DPIXA in their 3D surface inspection projects. With Matrox Imaging as a one-stop shop for components and support, integrators will save time and money."
Matrox Imaging support for the Chromasens 3DPIXA camera is illustrated in a MIL programming example included in MIL 10 Processing Pack 1, which is available to all registered MIL 10 users with valid maintenance subscriptions. MIL 10 and this update are also available for evaluation.
