responding. Auto-White Balance (AWB) is available in color cameras to correct for color
temperature. The cameras have a Camera Link™ interface that includes 8/10/12 bits data
transmission with two, four, eight or ten output taps as well as camera control all on one or

applications including machine vision, metrology high-definition imaging and surveillance,
medical and scientific imaging, intelligent transportation systems, aerial imaging, character
recognition, document processing and many more.
