Multi-Camera Vision System With CoaXPress

A multiple camera (multi-camera) based vision system can provide a bigger field of view, faster throughput, greater detailed inspection or more measurement information, and possibly all combined for metrology and inspection equipment.

Faster throughput requirements can be satisfied with a single high-speed camera or the larger field of view (FOV) needs are met with a single ultra-high-resolution (i.e. 25 Megapixels) camera depending on the system implementation.  In certain circumstances, the necessary performance enhancements can be more efficiently achieved through a multiple camera vision system.

In this paper, we will explore some of the possibilities and compare the use of multiple CoaXPress cameras to those based on other interface standards, such as GigE Vision and USB3 Vision.
