In recent years, machine vision has been widely applied in smart manufacturing, automation, and other equipment to ensure product quality, control production processes, perceive environments, and more. For different application scenarios, inspection systems need to meet various technical specifications. Among these, image sensor resolution and frame rate are two extremely important metrics. High resolution facilitates more precise inspection, while high frame rates can improve overall system efficiency and reduce operating costs. The GMAX series offers low-noise, high-frame-rate global shutter area scan image sensors with various resolutions and aspect ratios, while the GL series consists of line scan image sensors. Some line scan image sensors also support TDI (Time Delay Integration) functionality, which improves sensitivity, enhances imaging quality, and reduces power consumption while maintaining a high line frequency.

Logistics and Positioning Related Applications

Camera systems for logistics and positioning include fixed camera systems and handheld devices. Fixed camera systems need to read from a distance, thus requiring high accuracy and high frame rates for precise and rapid reading, thereby achieving high cargo throughput. They typically require a global shutter to eliminate motion blur. Smaller, lighter handheld devices are typically used at shorter distances, so slightly lower resolution image sensors can be used. However, a global shutter and high frame rates are still needed to work together to accomplish the task.

CMOS image sensors are applied in various branches of industrial measurement. When selecting image sensors for industrial measurement, it is crucial to strike a balance between resolution and frame rate. When measurement accuracy is the primary requirement, frame rates are often slower, and high-resolution image sensors are chosen. In 3D laser scanning applications, however, the focus should be on frame rate to maximize throughput.
