Our White Paper explains what you need to know when selecting the right lens for your camera. To achieve optimal image quality, several key criteria must be considered. Although many lenses look similar, their performance and price can vary significantly. Without the right lens, even the best camera cannot reach its full potential. Key factors include mount type, image circle, sensor size, focal length, resolution, and aperture—and how they relate to each other.
Our White Paper explains the fundamentals of image processing systems. Image processing systems are used for a variety of areas, including industry, medicine and traffic technology. Yet each system has its own peculiarities. For this reason it's important to select individually all components to be used — from the camera and its optics to the lighting and PC hardware and software.
When selecting a camera for an image processing system, sensor technology is not the only key factor—the shutter method is equally important. Our White Paper explains how global and rolling shutters work and compares their functionalities. The shutter controls how light reaches the sensor through defined exposure times. Global and rolling shutters use different exposure methods, which directly affect image capture.
Our White Paper presents an overview of the possibilities currently offered by deep learning-based artificial intelligence in industrial image processing and shows the benefits and drawbacks compared to conventional methods. You’ll also find out which role these different approaches might play in the near future.
How can multi-camera systems capture images simultaneously without an extra cable? Our White Paper explains how multi-camera applications achieve real-time, synchronous image acquisition using functions built into the GigE Vision 2.0 standard. This approach is essential for use cases such as multi-angle sports capture, conveyor belt inspection, robotics, and 3D triangulation—without the need for an additional trigger cable.
2D or 3D Camera? Which 3D Camera Technology Fits Your Application?
The third dimension is playing an increasingly important role in image processing applications. Our White Paper describes various 3D technologies, such as stereovision and structured light, laser triangulation and time-of-flight, with their strengths and weaknesses. You also get practical information on whether the third dimension is actually worthwhile for your application.
CoaXPress 2.0 (CXP 2.0) is the upcoming standard in industrial image processing for demanding applications. The CXP interface is particularly relevant whenever high data rates and short latency periods are called for.
The "Computer Vision Portfolio" brochure provides an overview of Basler’s full product range. It includes highlights and technical data for all available models—from area scan cameras (ace, ace 2, dart, boost) and line scan cameras (racer) to 3D cameras (blaze) and MED ace cameras for Medical & Life Sciences. The brochure also covers Embedded Vision Kits, vision components (lenses, cables, lighting, frame grabbers, VisualApplets), and the pylon Camera Software Suite.
