The Baumer Group has added 2-, 4-, and 25-MP cameras with integrated JPEG image compression and frame rates of up to 140 fps to its LX device series.
The models are well suited for applications that require long image sequences but do not have to transfer and save the complete original images — such as in process monitoring or motion analysis in sports. The JPEG compression rate is configurable so the image quality
can be adapted to meet the needs of the individual application. Data reduction in the range of 1:10 to 1:20 can be achieved.
The JPEG image compression takes place directly in the field-programmable gate array of the camera. A reduced bandwidth like that of Gigabit Ethernet is sufficient for the high-speed transmission of high-resolution images, allowing a cost-effective and flexible system design. At the same time, the PC-based image processing system is relieved of CPU-intensive algorithms for image compression, so that a PC is sufficient even for operation with multiple JPEG cameras. To bridge longer distances, it is also easily possible to use a GigE switch.
