Built-in gamma correction and user-defined look-up table (LUT) capabilities optimize the
camera’s dynamic range features.
Defective pixel correction (DPC) and hot pixel
correction (HPC) correct for pixels that are over-responding or under-responding. Auto
White Balance (AWB) is available in color cameras to correct for color temperature. The
cameras have a USB3 compatible interface that includes 8- and 10-bit data transmission,
as well as camera control functionality in one cable. There is also support of active or
passive Canon EOS lenses.
The camera’s
ruggedized design and flexibility enable its use in a wide and diverse range
of 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.
