Embedded Vision and Machine Learning Combined

Existing GenICam-based applications configured with a USB camera can be migrated to CSI-2 cameras. All SFNC (Standard Features Naming Convention) features available with Alvium USB3 cameras can now also be used with CSI-2 cameras. A USB camera can thus be employed for prototyping and can easily be replaced by a CSI-2 camera after the application has been developed. The cameras can be controlled with Allied Vision's Vimba 6.0 software development kit or any other third-party GenICam-compatible software. The convolution filter with a 5x5 matrix includes an adaptive noise reduction mode that reduces noise in the image while preserving the corners and edges. The choice of ADC (analogue-to-digital converter) allows the Alvium cameras to operate at high frame rates. By selecting the bit depth of the sensor data (between 8 and 12 bits), the cameras can be accelerated up to twice their speed, depending on the sensor. In addition, the user can save up to 4 individual user settings in the camera. Depending on the application or environment, predefined user sets can then be selected.
