Inspection using line-scan sensors is somewhat a niche market within machine vision. Line-scan sensors are used when a very high-resolution image is required to inspect the surface of large, moving, flat objects such as paper, laminates, plastic films, textile, foils, glass, steel or even PCBs. Building inspection systems that use line-scan sensors require unique expertise because, unlike area-scan acquisition, they require a tight coupling of the sensor’s acquisition rate (i.e., the line rate) and the movement of the object.

The Alvium G5X series from Allied Vision is a variant of the Alvium G5 area scan camera. It streams the well-known GigE Vision Stream Protocol (GVSP) over the TCP protocol, which improves the reliability and efficiency of image transmission. Unlike the commonly used UDP protocol, the TCP protocol guarantees full-frame delivery and significantly reduces the processing effort for data packets. All the popular features of the Alvium G5 are also implemented in the G5X series, making it the perfect choice, especially for multi-camera and embedded applications. Read more
The production of battery cells is a demanding process that requires the highest levels of quality and safety. In order to ensure the performance and reliability of the batteries, the cells need to be inspected for possible faults or defects during production. SWIR (Short Wave Infrared) cameras play an important role in this process because of their ability to capture images beyond the visible spectrum. Read more
Machine vision and machine learning have revolutionized defect detection in agriculture, offering an unparalleled combination of accuracy, speed, and scalability. By automating the inspection process, farmers and producers can enhance the quality of their products, reduce waste, and streamline operations. As these technologies continue to advance, they hold the promise of creating a more resilient and efficient agricultural industry, ultimately benefiting consumers and the global food supply.
