High Speed Vision Systems
BitFlow, Inc. announces new system level solutions for high performance, high speed image capture and processing. Based on the BitFlow Karbon-CL x8 PCI Express frame grabber, it is now possible to capture images at up to 840 Megabytes per second per camera – up to thousands of images per second - for high speed digital imaging needs.
Applications for these systems include high speed inspection, target tracking, 3-D target tracking, failure analysis, biometrics, stress testing, PIV (Particle Imaging Velocimetry), combustion analysis, flow analysis, and more.
Real-time video can be acquired into many Gigabytes of RAM – to date up to 128 Gigabytes of RAM has been tested. Alternately, high speed data can also be stored on RAID drives for longer real-time recording times.
System solutions are semi-customized for each application requirement. The BitFlow Karbon-CL frame grabber supports all monochrome and color Camera Link or Camera Link-like digital cameras. For those wishing to use analog cameras, a High Speed Vision System based on the BitFlow Alta-AN frame grabber, which supports all RS170/CCIR, RGB, and monochrome progressive scan cameras can be created.
Application software can be based on one of the many 3rd party off-the-self video streaming solutions supported by BitFlow, and either a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Microsoft Windows. BitFlow also has a complete high speed image capture Software Development Kit for those wishing to create their own OEM products.
