EVT-AN01-SYNC:

This application note describes the mechanism by which multiple Emergent cameras can be synchronized. Figure 1 : System Hardwarebelow illustrates the hardware involved: Emergent cameras connected to Myricom Sync NICs via SFP+ cabling(fiber, direct attach). Myricom Dual Port Sync NICswith SMB IRIGB00X input in one or more PCs. IRIGB00X Timecode Generator using either GPS or internal based timecode.

EVT-AN02-MVA:

This application note describes in detail the advantages of using Myricom NICs and MVA with Emergent Vision cameras. It describes the way in which MVA gains its significant advantages and provides a comparison to scaled up versions of the Intel Pro 1000 GigEVision NIC and driver which is the current choice for 1 Gigabit machine vision applications and software.

Deep Learning: Its Proper Role and Use in Machine Vision

This white paper details how and where machine vision benefits from deep learning technology, and how to get the best out of deep learning for machine vision.

Automated License Plate Recognition:

Automated license or number plate recognition (ALPR/ANPR) is one of the most challenging applications for optical character recognition (OCR) because of the variable conditions encountered and the expected effectiveness. A successful implementation depends not only on the strength of the underlying OCR tool but also on complementary image processing techniques and tools.

Understanding Color Machine Vision:

Digital cameras with color image sensors are now commonplace. The same is true for the computing power and device interfaces necessary to handle the additional data from color images. What’s more, as users become familiar and comfortable with machine vision technology, they seek to tackle more difficult or previously unsolvable applications. These circumstances combine to make color machine vision an area of mounting interest. Color machine vision poses unique challenges but it also brings some unique capabilities for manufacturing control and inspection.

GPU‐Accelerated Image Processing

Today’s Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), with their massive parallel architectures and tremendous memory bandwidth, are particularly well suited for accelerating image processing. A careful understanding of a GPU’s capabilities and available programming methods is needed to take full advantage of its computational power while achieving quick time‐to market and maintaining maximum flexibility.

Vision library or vision‐specific IDE: Which is right for you?

Commercial machine vision software is currently classified along two lines: the conventional vision library and the vision‐specific integrated development environment (IDE). Determining which software is right for your vision project depends upon a variety of factors: ease‐of‐use, productivity, flexibility, performance, completeness, and maintenance. This white paper uses these factors to contrast the two software development approaches and clearly establish the merits and drawbacks of each. The discussion assumes that the vision tools available in both types of software are similar—if not identical—and does not explore possible discrepancies with these tools. Also, the discussion ignores the hardware platform that the vision applications run on as to not bias one over the other

Lens Cleaning: Keeping your lens clean is one of the most important steps you can take to maintain your lens’ highest level of performance. Dirt, dust, or grease on the front or rear surface of a lens can reduce the brightness and contrast of the image it reproduces. Regular lens cleaning is a cheap and effective way to maximize screen presentation quality.

A Few Considerations When Selecting And Using Graduated Filters: Graduated color or neutral filters are among the most useful and versatile filters in the Director of Photography’s repertoire. They allow visual looks to be achieved that are limited only by the cinematographer’s imagination and skill. Since they affect only part of the picture, and not all of it, they can be used alone, and in combinations, to make filmed images that don’t exist in nature.
