Industrial camera division and common categories

Industrial cameras, as key components of machine vision systems, have the most essential function of converting optical signals into ordered electrical signals. Choosing the right camera is also an important part of the design of the machine vision system. The choice of the camera not only directly determines the image resolution, image quality, etc., but also directly relates to the operating mode of the whole system. Industrial cameras have many classifications according to different indicators. The following is a list of common types of industrial cameras:

1, according to the image color division, can be divided into color camera and black and white camera; color camera has RGB format (3CCD color camera) and Bayer format (single CCD color camera);

2. According to the sensitivity , it is divided into the following forms:

3. According to the resolution , the number of pixels below 380,000 is a common type, and the number of pixels is higher than 380,000;

4, according to the size of the photosensitive surface , can be divided into 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1 inch camera. The specific dimensions are shown in the following table:

5, according to the scanning method , can be divided into line scanning camera (line array camera) and surface scanning camera (area array camera) two ways; (surface scanning camera can be divided into interlaced scanning camera and progressive scanning camera)

6, according to the synchronous way , can be divided into ordinary cameras (internal synchronization) and cameras with external synchronization.
