Premier Evolvics, a leading Indian manufacturer of quality testing and online monitoring equipment for the textile industry, recently upgraded their ART fiber testing machines with digital cameras from Allied Vision Technologies. Previously, the camera used was an analog CCD camera with interlaced scan combined with a frame grabber and a licensed image processing system. An alternative solution was offered to Premier Evolvics by Lucid Imaging, a leading supplier of machine vision solutions in the Indian market and Allied Vision Technologies’ distribution partner in India. The package included the migration from an analog to a digital interface and the replacement of the licensed image processing software with an open-source based application. This was made possible by the unique Guppy digital cameras with interlaced sensors from Allied Vision Technologies.
