FEATURED WHITE PAPERDESIGNING A VISION SYSTEMA Comprehensive Guide to the Technical Requirements for Building a Vision System for Your Unique Imaging Application
There are a number of factors that need to be considered when designing a vision system, including: the hardware platform, the operating system, the software and API, and the very things that make the vision system "see"- the camera and its lens. Although each aspect plays an important role in achieving desired results, the camera and lens are the essence of the vision system. As such, it is recommended that both the camera and the lens be selected as a pair based on overall system requirements. Here we discuss various elements of vision systems with a focus on the camera and lens.

IN THE NEWSAerial Imaging - Selecting the Correct UAV and Industrial Camera CombinationLumenera featured on the AZO Network
"By combining a UAV (Unmanned Arial Vehicle) with a high-resolution industrial-grade camera the cost of aerial imaging is significantly reduced. For such an experiment to be effective the data gathered needs to be RAW, uncorrupted and easily processed. Lumenera, experts in imaging, recently worked with AggieAir, a research lab at Utah State University, to develop an aerial imaging system for agricultural research. We spoke to Corey Fellows, Sales Director at Lumenera, about the best drone/camera combination to use for aerial imaging, the benefits of using a scientific camera and the exciting new applications this technology is opening up." EVENTSWHERE WE'VE BEENLumenera at Vision China 2017
In March 2017, Lumenera exhibited at VISION China and featured our Lt29059 high performance camera in a special "Back to the Future" demo complete with a DeLorean model car. This live-action demo illustrated the Lt29059's excellent dynamic range, extremely low smear, and outstanding color reproduction.

Sony's latest Pregius global shutter CMOS sensors combine beneficial aspects of both CCD and CMOS in a pixel design resulting in impressive performance. The Pregius sensors have an analog pixel design similar to a CCD, but with the back end resembling a CMOS sensor. This architecture takes the advantages of a CCD sensor (excellent imaging performance - including good color reproduction, low noise, and high dynamic range) along with all the digital advantages of a CMOS sensor (built-in analog-to-digital conversion, image correction, digital output and high speed) to produce a low-power, low-cost alternative to traditional CCD sensors.
The bit depth of a camera defines the number of distinct shades that are available for each pixel. Many imaging applications don't require a bit depth of more than 8 bits, however when color accuracy is needed, high bit depth is key in detecting the slightest deviation from specific color tones. For instance, as outlined in this 
Lumenera has just released their National Instruments LabVIEW Plug-In v4.0.1 to support LabVIEW's 2016 software. This plug-in requires the installation of LabVIEW, the NI Vision Development Module, and the applicable Lumenera Software for your camera model. Lumenera's LabVIEW plug-in now supports LabVIEW 32-bit and 64-bit version from release 2010 to release 2016.
