Pleora Technologies invented high-performance
frame grabbers and embedded hardware for the delivery of sensor data over Gigabit Ethernet, and leads the market in interfaces for USB 3.0.
Based on device, the surface inspection market is segmented into software, processors, optics,
frame grabbers, and camera.
Road Runner was a groundbreaking product when it came out, according to Waide, because it was the first PCI bus-mastering digital
frame grabber. Today the market has migrated to PCIe.
This has given rise to a renewed need for increased and improved machine vision technologies, said Donal Waide, director of sales and marketing for BitFlow Inc., a manufacturer of
frame grabbers used in machine-vision technology.
SHOPPING LIST The main items you'll need to buy to join the CAMS project are a Watec Wat-902H2 Ultimate low-light security camera (a standard weatherproof housing is also recommended), a 12-mm f/1.2 fixed-focus lens for it, and the EasyCap

The photo movie creator app is priced at GBP1.99, with a free trial available, while
Frame Grabber is available for GBP2.49.
Up to four detectors, each using its own
Frame Grabber, can be connected to one PC.
With test methodologies and data analysis techniques that apply to all imaging systems and detector array characterizations, including visible, near infrared, short-wavelength infrared (SWIR), mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long-wavelength infrared (LWIR), Holst has updated this edition to include current practice of capturing the data with a
frame grabber for computer analysis.
Each image is digitized (512 rows x 512 columns measured in pixels) by a
frame grabber at 8 bits gray levels and stored in the memory of the computer.
The system is comprised of 16 high resolution area scan CCD cameras arranged across the web, two high frequency fluorescent lamps for lighting, six
frame grabbers with three cameras per
frame grabber operating concurrently, a high speed Windows 2000 computer(s) for processing data and for HMI (operator interface control), and a 17" touchscreen HMI.
