A durable, stand-alone,
smart solution that has its own on-board, non-volatile memory
The Icon camera series is an embedded vision system platform offering
control of the hardware and image data to vision system developers through
Sapera Embedded Vision SDK and providing them with the power and flexibility
to develop their own embedded imaging applications. Combining Teledyne
DALSA's expertise in image sensors, cameras and image processing with
off-the-shelf development tools and libraries, Icon brings a powerful,
familiar application development environment and an extensive set of imaging
libraries allowing developers and OEMs to create and deliver cost-effective,
customized embedded vision system applications. To process and analyze
images, Icon cameras feature powerful processing capabilities with extremely
low power consumption and a real-time operating system. The cameras' ruggedized,
small form factor body is ideal for embedded processing applications.
Featuring high-quality, high-sensitivity, low noise image output and supporting
resolutions from VGA to 1600 in colour and monochrome formats, image capture
can be synchronized with external events and controls for a deterministic
response.
Controlling the Icon's development environment and making it easier to configure,
develop, debug and deploy vision applications, is Embedded Sapera Vision
SDK – a comprehensive suite of image acquisition, processing, analysis
and control libraries, including Sapera Processing which is a set of highly
optimized image processing primitives and advanced image analysis tools
such as 1D and 2D barcode, OCR, blob analysis, area and geometric search
and calibration. Note: While Icon comes pre-licensed and is ready to
deploy using Sapera Processing tools, it is engineered as an open platform
to allow OEMs to develop applications using third party image-processing
tools.
In addition, the cameras' Configuration Utility is a powerful user
interface that provides an interactive environment to create or modify camera
configurations files. The cameras' parameters can be fine-tuned while capturing
live images on the host computer.
