Imaging & Vision Applications
Imaging and vision technology has been enabling key innovations in a variety of use cases. Starting from factory automation (FA), the field is expanding to security surveillance, automotive, medical diagnostics, agriculture automation, and more.
Factory Automation (FA)
High-speed inspection
High-speed cameras are used to sort defects and abnormalities in manufacturing lines in a very high-speed moving environment. Typically global shutter image sensors with high frame rate is required to accurately capture the images of products without distortion.
Vision guided robotics
Robots are taking over more complex manufacturing processes with the help of vision technologies. Multi-axis robots can move their arms and hands like humans and see the subject using cameras and analytics & control software to guide the movement necessary to accomplish the tasks in the manufacturing process more efficiently and accurately.
Wide-area inspection
For scanning complex products over wide areas, such as inspecting solder joints on printed circuit boards, high-resolution vision systems are the ideal technology. These systems leverage high-resolution image sensors to capture precise, detailed scans in a single shot, enabling efficient detection of defects or abnormalities in the manufacturing process.
Professional Surveillance
Outdoor surveillance camera
Security cameras operating outdoor often need to tolerate both extremely bright light that can cause the image to blowout in the daytime and extremely low light situations in the night time that require high sensitivity of the sensors. To cope with the very wide dynamic range of lighting, camera's image processing component needs to be equipped with mechanisms called high dynamic range (HDR).
Dashcam
Dashcams need to record scenes of driving in various conditions in light dynamics ti capture necessary information to prove causes of accidents and license plate numbers. Image sensors need to be highly sensitive while providing high dynamic range capabilities for the camera processing engine.
Video Cameras
Broadcast camera
Typically, broadcast camera's product life cycle is longer than consumer products and anyone designing for it need to consider longer product life of its components too. Macnica offers various components with industrial product life.
Medical Vision Systems
Digital pathology systems
Digital pathology platforms leverage advanced imaging, AI, and cloud-based technologies to digitize and analyze pathology slides. These systems convert glass slides into high-resolution digital images using specialized scanners, enabling pathologists to view, annotate, and share slides remotely.
Robotic surgery systems
Robotic surgery systems are advanced platforms that enhance surgical precision, flexibility, and control through robotic arms, cameras, and specialized tools. They are often controlled by surgeons via a console that translates hand movements into micro-precise actions. Imaging and vision technologies are indispensable in robotic surgery, providing the surgeon with augmented capabilities to perform complex procedures with unprecedented accuracy.
Agritech
UAVs
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are used in agriculture in various ways; to assess the growth and health of crops, to analyze soil moisture and topography, to manage irrigation, and so on. Imaging and vision systems play great roles in collecting visual and spectral data for accurate analysis.
Crop sorting and grading systems
Machine vision technologies are used to automate sorting crops and grading fruits, vegetables and grains based on size, color, and quality. For speed and accuracy, image sensors need to high-speed, high-frame rate, and wide-spectral range. In the grading application, polarized sensors are useful in capturing dents and scars more effectively.
