AVT launches Stingray and Prosilica cameras, and demonstrates eye-tracking system
Germany's Allied Vision Technologies GmbH is exhibiting a range of FireWire and Gigabit-Ethernet cameras on its stand (D33, hall 4) at VISION 2008. Alongside products, visitors also will be able to see a demonstration of how machine vision is being used in the marketing world.
For the first time since its acquisition of Canadian camera manufacturer Prosilica Inc, both brands - Stingray and Prosilica - will be displayed on one stand, says the company.
Two new AVT Stingray camera family models will make their debut - the Stingray F-125 and F-504. The first camera is equipped with the new high-sensitivity Sony ICX445 charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor, with a 1.3-megapixel resolution, while the latter, with a 5- megapixel resolution and excellent image quality, supplements the upper end of the camera family. Both cameras are equipped with a fast IEEE 1394b interface.
Prosilica will introduce two new versions of its well-known GE Series - the GE1050 and the GE1910. The GE1050 is a fast 1-megapixel Gigabit Ethernet camera capable of running at up to 60 fps, while the GE1910 features the Kodak KAI-02150, a new generation progressive scan CCD sensor that brings high definition to the industrial imaging market. The new GB series - ultra-compact GigE cameras no larger than a credit card - will also be on display at the exhibition.
New application areas - beyond traditional industrial inspection - such as traffic monitoring, medicine and science, and sports and entertainment, are driving growth in the digital machine-vision market place. AVT highlighted this trend during the 2007 VISION show by hosting an impressive interactive demonstration from the entertainment world. This year, the firm will present applications from one of these new growth segments - sales and marketing.
To aid market research, SensoMotoric Instruments GmbH (SMI) of Berlin, Germany, has developed a eye-tracking system that can precisely track and analyse the path of a test subject's gaze upon a particular object, such as an advertisement layout, a display window, a Web-site or a supermarket shelf. Visitors to AVT's booth can test the iView X RED System by SMI. With the aid of a digital camera from AVT, the system determines where on an advertisement the viewer's gaze falls and what is overlooked.
In addition, the 'Virtual Stage' will also delight visitors to the show. Developed by Mobidium, a French company that designs and markets interactive multimedia animation, 'Virtual Stage' is initiated and driven by the viewer's movement. An an image that is projected onto the floor changes dynamically as people move over it.
