Square pixels via FPGA now also for color images
Industrial image processing frequently makes it necessary to calculate the distance of objects in a camera image. If a frame grabber delivers square pixels directly, the algorithm is simpler and executable in less time.
Due to television standards, especially color frame grabbers only allow the realization of square pixels with the assistance of additional algorithm processes.
As the latest development in the series of professional frame grabber cards available from ELTEC Elektronik AG, the p3i_SEC, among others, also offers square pixels directly. At the hardware end, the camera data proportions are already
calculated for the analysis in real time on the card. To accomplish this, ELTEC utilizes a discretionarily programming block (FPGA), which can also be utilized for the implementation of similar tasks. In choosing the FPGA-technology, the manufacturer is betting on flexibility at the hardware end (to be more specific, on discretionarily programmable hardware), which also makes it possible to provide
customer-specific solutions for OEMs even in small series production.
In addition, the p3i_SEC frame grabber offers the following performance features:
