Matrox® Imaging has released Matrox AltiZ Firmware Version 1.0.

Published: January 19, 2022

 

Firmware Version 1.0 includes a new feature for object detection. It allows users to define a region within the field of view to automatically detect objects based on their depth or height and start scanning without the need of an external trigger device (for example, a proximity sensor). Version 1.0 also adds a feature to include supplementary frame, 3D scan, and encoder information to the data transmission using the GigE Vision® Chunk Data mechanism.

Matrox® AltiZ¹ is a series of high-fidelity 3D profile sensors. Each sensor features a dual-camera single-laser design that greatly lessens the scanning gaps often encountered at critical surface junctures because of optical occlusions. Unique algorithms running inside the sensor automatically generate various types of reliable 3D data—individual profiles, depth maps, or point clouds—obtained by smartly combining or selecting the pixel data from the two integrated image sensors, which is automatically sampled for a constant horizontal resolution.
