(QuantumVision: Roswell, GA) -- The Hammerhead 3-D machine vision system from QuantumVision Corp., which designs, manufactures, and implements custom machine vision solutions, provides stereo vision without multiple cameras. The Hammerhead measures 6 in. × 2.37 in. × 1.4 in. and includes two image sensors, integrated environmental control for cold-temperature applications, Ethernet, power over Ethernet (PoE), RS-232, RS-422/485, USB, and industrial digital I/O. Synchronization of the left and right image sensors is automatically handled by the hardware. It can address security and surveillance, robotic pick and place, vehicle guidance, quality assurance, sorting, material handling, and optical gauging applications. The system can improve 2-D image processing with a library of algorithms that include 1-D and 2-D barcodes, linear measurement tools, and pattern matching.
