What is the difference between industrial cameras and ordinary cameras?

最新の企業ニュース What is the difference between industrial cameras and ordinary cameras?
  1. The shutter time of industrial cameras is very short and can capture fast-moving objects.
  2. For example, if you attach a business card to the blades of an electric fan, rotate it at maximum speed, and then capture an image with an industrial camera, you can still clearly identify the fonts on the business card. It is impossible to achieve this effect when shooting with ordinary cameras. The technical issues here are quite difficult, so I won’t go into details here.

  3. The image sensor of an industrial camera is progressive scan, while the image sensor of a general camera is interlaced, or even scanned every three lines.
  4. Progressive scanning image sensors are more difficult to produce, with low yields and low shipments. Only a few companies in the world, such as Dalsa and Sony, can provide such products, and they are expensive. The price of a million-level progressive scan CCD ranges from RMB 4,000 to RMB 30,000. There are many technical parameters, which I will not go into details here. Only by using a progressive scan image sensor can it be possible to clearly capture fast-moving objects. For example, MV-VD high-speed industrial digital cameras and MV-VS series 1394 interface CCD industrial cameras are very good in terms of price and quality.

  5. The shooting speed of industrial cameras is much higher than that of ordinary cameras.
  6. Industrial cameras can take from ten to hundreds of pictures per second, while ordinary cameras can only take 2-3 images. There is a huge difference.

  7. Industrial cameras output raw data, and their spectral ranges are often relatively wide, making them more suitable for high-quality image processing algorithms, such as machine vision applications. The spectral range of pictures taken by general cameras (DSC) is only suitable for human vision, and they have been compressed by mjpeg, resulting in poor image quality.
