Finding Out the Hard Way

Because Critical Link does so much with vision systems, I’m always interested in camera applications. Or I was until one nabbed me for speeding in Germany.

Cape Vincent Lighthhouse

The other day, I happened across an article in Vision Systems Design on how CMOS imagers are trying to increase the dynamic range they support so that they can capture images under both day and night light conditions. The article highlights some of the techniques sensor manufacturers are using to increase dynamic range, and references […]

Schrödinger’s cat (sort of)

We don’t quite get involved in the “no information” scenarios like the Schrödinger's cat experiment, but two of our newest MityCAMs incorporate sCMOS sensors from Fairchild Imaging that offer superior performance in low light applications.
