FastVision Explains When "Inelegance" is Necessary for Image Processing

Increased Power Speed and Miniaturization Leaves Customers with Many Questions

Nashua, NH (prHWY.com) February 28, 2011 - With today's rapidly evolving technology, increased miniaturization along with increased processing power, there is some confusion about when and where "intelligence" needs to be added to an image processing system. With a reputation as an industry pioneer in the field of fast vision and fast imaging processing, FastVision offers clients the best in industry expertise to determine when fast imaging is necessary and what kind of processing is needed for a particular job in addition to offering leading edge tools, services and products. With so many fast image options available on the market many companies require the expert guidance of FastVision to determine and fulfill their fast vision needs.

"Customers often ask machine vision equipment manufacturers and integrators to evaluate and recommend solutions to many different imaging applications," says Dr. Joseph Sgro, founder and CEO of FastVision. "The best way to make a sale and build customer loyalty is to recommend the "best" solution, whether the company's own products are included or not. This leads to an understanding of the most important cost and performance differentiators that contribute to the optimum solution for each application."

To determine when fast vision applications are needed and the type of "intelligent" vision technology that is best for the job, FastVision experts look at several factors. The camera data rate and the number of operations per pixel determine the optimum solution for a given application. Although not illustrated, there may be some additional, non-recurring engineering costs (NRE) for using a smart frame grabber or camera because a more costly engineering resource is used. However,he engineering cost can be made insignificant if multiple systems are being built.

"Usually, cost is king," Sgro says. "It is the most important determinant if the system is adequate for the required task.

For companies that require intelligent machine vision cameras, FastVision products are the natural choice. The imaging, and machine vision community is continually seeking high-performance stand-alone cameras and camera subsystems to meet their demanding real-world applications. To meet these demands, FastVision is continually developing and evolving products that enable customers to work more efficiently and cost effectively. The opportunity that the current market offers is the general availability of high-speed and cost effective CMOS sensors, high-speed, low-power microprocessors, and FPGAs. Using these technologies enables FastVision to develop market leading products for the high-speed accelerated or "smart" camera markets.
