High Speed Cameras Aid In Spacecraft And Astronaut Safety For NASA
At a lab in New Mexico, A team is assessing this dangerous “space trash” with the use of ultra-high-speed imaging cameras. They fire fake “space trash” no bigger than a pea at things like oxygen tanks and steel cables. Let’s just say it never ends well (everything gets ripped in half), and the scientists can’t even see the projectiles to track them. That’s where Vision Research Phantom cameras, such as...  Continue Reading..
Advances In CMOS Image Sensors And Associated Processing: Part 1
New Canon technology has exploited a large 35 mm Full Frame CMOS image sensor with spatial sampling of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V) to acquire a distinctively large photosite of 19 um x 19 um, which enabled development of an HD camera with unprecedented sensitivity.   Continue Reading..
Non-Destructive Testing Of Mid-IR Optical Fiber Using Infrared Imaging
Some materials used in the manufacture of optical fiber lasers cannot have any defects if the laser system is to be efficient. This app note shows how infrared imaging can be used to carry out NDT of optical fiber integrity. The methodology allows the screening of tens of meters in just a few seconds.  Continue Reading..

The Blackfly S leverages the industry’s most advanced sensors in an ice-cube form factor. Features include IEEE1588 clock synchronization and full compatibility with popular third-party software supporting GigE Vision.

The BEAMAGE-4M is a beam profiling camera designed for accurate profile measurements of very small beams. The camera utilizes a USB 3.0 for the transfer rates up to 10X faster than regular USB 2.0 connections.

The Owl 320 HS from Raptor Photonics offers the fastest frame rates available in the Owl camera line-up (up to 349 Hz in full frame resolution), perfect for high speed VIS-SWIR applications within the 0.4 µm – 1.7 µm range. With Region of Interest (ROI) control, faster frame rates in the kHz region are achievable by setting smaller ROIs.

The Owl 640 Series from Raptor Photonics comprises a number of VIS-SWIR cameras with high resolutions and low noise readouts. They are ideal for a variety of applications, including surveillance, astronomy, beam profiling, hyperspectral imaging, solar cell inspection, and other scientific applications.

Available in four different models, the FASTCAM NOVA camera system offers 12-bit image recording rates up to 16,000 frames per second (fps) at megapixel image resolution, and shutter speeds to 0.2µs. Recording rates to 1,100,000 fps are available at reduced image resolution.

Sierra-Olympic introduces the Vayu HD – the world’s first full high definition, uncooled, 1080p output thermal camera designed to deliver unmatched 1920 x 1200 image resolution, sensitivity, and detector quality for the most stunning thermal images from a stand-alone commercially designed camera.   

This single chip high definition CMOS  camera features 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, the highest frame rate for real-time live viewing (60 fps), perfect color reproduction, full screen video (16:9) with smooth motion, and much more. This camera has been programmed for simple, one-push operation and has been designed to view highly detailed images in a real-time live mode.

Toshiba Imaging Systems has partnered with Dage-MTI to develop two new high definition cameras ideal for microscopy applications. Dage-MTI's RealView HD Microscope Cameras combine Toshiba Imaging's proprietary imaging technology with specially-formatted, preset values for use in critical microscopy applications.

  • Introducing the Canon 120 MXS CMOS Sensor for ultra-high resolution imaging applications!

  • On the last day of SPIE’s 2016 DCS exhibition in Baltimore, Kevin Fogarty with Canon showed us a 19 micron pixel pitch sensor that can achieve a full color and high definition image in extremely low light environments.

  • At SPIE’s DCS 2016 exhibition, Sensors Unlimited – A part of Collins Aerospace, Brendan Murphy, spent some time with Photonics Online to school us up on the three primary things one should consider before purchasing a SWIR imager — resolution, global availability, and cost.

  • The pco.dimax cs camera with its true 12-bit performance is ideal for providing crisp, brilliant color images for all car safety testing applications involving onboard, offboard, and sled testing. This high speed video presents car safety testing situations recorded with the pco.dimax cs camera.

  • In this video, the T640 infrared camera and SC8300 HD IR camera are used to capture infrared images of dolphins in action at the Hilton Waikoloa. In addition to some interesting images in general, this video highlights how infrared imaging can be used in animal medicine applications to detect hot spots on the dolphins.
