Product Summary
The Vision MINI Smart Camera is designed for reliable vision performance
in embedded identification and inspection applications. As the world’s
smallest fully-integrated vision system, the Vision MINI’s compact size
and wide angle optics provide the best performance available for
machine vision tasks at close range.
The Vision MINI allows OEM design engineers to implement inspection,
color matching, symbol decoding, OCR, and more, in a single compact
solution. The camera’s small form factor allows flexible positioning in tight
spaces. The lightweight and durable magnesium alloy case weighs less
than 2 ounces.
Pressing the AutoVISION button at the back of the Vision MINI enables
real time dynamic autofocus. When an object is centered in the field of
view and the AutoVISION button is pressed, the camera automatically
adjusts focal distance and sets internal parameters to optimize image
captures.
AutoVISION software, designed for use with the Vision MINI, provides an
intuitive interface, step-by-step configuration, and a library of presets that
allow easy setup and deployment. For more complex vision applications,
the system can be upgraded from AutoVISION to Visionscape.
