The difference between industrial cameras and ordinary cameras

The difference between industrial cameras and ordinary cameras:

1. The performance of the industrial camera is stable, reliable and easy to install. The camera has a compact and sturdy structure and is not easy to damage. It can work in a long time and can be used in a poor environment. Normal digital cameras cannot do this. For example: letting a civilian digital camera work 24 hours a day or working for several days will definitely be unbearable.

2. The shutter time of industrial cameras is very short, which can capture high-speed moving objects. For example, if you stick a business card on an electric fan blade, rotate it at the maximum speed, set an appropriate shutter time, and capture an image with an industrial camera, you can still clearly distinguish the font on the film. It is impossible to achieve the same effect with ordinary cameras.

3. The image sensor of the industrial camera is progressive scan, while the image sensor of the ordinary camera is interlaced. The production process of the progressive scan image sensor is relatively complicated, the yield rate is low, and the shipment volume is small. Only a few companies in the world can Provide such products, such as Dalsa, Sony, and expensive.

4. The frame rate of industrial cameras is much higher than that of ordinary cameras. Industrial cameras can take ten to several hundred pictures per second, while ordinary cameras can only take 2-3 pictures, which is a big difference.

5. The output of industrial cameras is raw data, and its spectral range is often relatively wide, which is more suitable for high-quality image processing algorithms, such as machine vision (Machine Vision) applications. The spectral range of pictures taken by ordinary cameras is only suitable for human vision, and the image quality is poor after mjpeg compression, which is not conducive to analysis and processing.

6. Industrial cameras are more expensive than ordinary cameras (DSC).
