The C4-2350-GigE Camera Algorithms
The C4-2350-GigE camera can be operated both in a variety of 3D profile modes and in image
mode. The current operation mode can be chosen by setting the parameter Camera Controls

CameraMode.
The frame rate can be increased in all camera modes by reducing the AOI size. In the image mode
the frame rate is limited by the output rate of the camera interface (GigE). However, due to reduced
data size in profile mode the frame rate is limited only by the sensor output rate. As a matter of
principle the processing speed is independent of the chosen profile mode and is determined by the
AOI size.
In all profile modes only intensity values higher than the AOI intensity threshold
AOI_TRSH
are
processed in order to suppress weak signal noise. In case that no position value can be found, e.g. no
intensity value is higher than threshold, the position value 0 is returned.
The Image Mode (IMG)
In the image mode the C4-2350-GigE camera is operated similar to a standard CMOS camera. In
this mode grey scale data of 8 or 10 bit resolution are acquired over the camera interface.
Furthermore, the sensor can be divided into multiple regions, whose data can be summarised in one
output frame.
