Press Release
Baumer LX VisualApplets industrial cameras honored
with a Platinum-level award by the „Vision Systems
Design 2016 Innovators Awards Program“
The Baumer LX VisualApplets cameras with integrated image preprocessing were
honored with the highest award at this year‘s „Vision Systems Design Innovators
Awards Program“: the Platinum-level award. Thanks to their innovative technology
approach and the added user value provided by enhanced productivity, the
esteemed expert jury of system integrators and end-users considered the cameras
as one of the top innovations 2016 in the image processing industry.
With LX VisualApplets cameras, even non-expert users without profound FPGA
knowledge are able to realize individual tasks in image processing quickly and
flexibly in the camera’s FPGA using the graphical programming environment
VisualApplets by Silicon Software – without need for expensive and complex VHDL
programming. In favor of this, customers benefit from expedited processes in
development and maximum know-how protection. At the same time, the volume of
data for transmission is reduced so that the PC-based image processing system
does not have to perform algorithms requiring considerable processor power. This
will increase throughput, simplify system design and lower system cost.
The new LX VisualApplets cameras integrate global shutter CMOS sensors by
CMOSIS and a GigE Vision compliant interface. This ensures high sensitivity and
excellent image quality coupled with quick and easy system integration. The cameras
are available with 4, 12 and 20 megapixel resolutions and allow image acquisition
and processing with VisualApplets with up to 74 fps.
