V. Typical Applications1. Industrial Inspection

  • Automated Visual Inspection: High-speed defect detection in manufacturing (e.g., PCB soldering, automotive components).

  • Robotic Guidance: Real-time image processing for pick-and-place operations.

2. Scientific Imaging

  • High-Speed Phenomena: Capturing fast events (e.g., ballistics, fluid dynamics) with frame rates up to 10,000 fps.

  • Microscopy: Precise synchronization with microscopy equipment for time-lapse imaging.

3. Traffic & Surveillance

  • License Plate Recognition: High-resolution image capture for traffic monitoring systems.

  • Security Systems: Multi-camera synchronization for wide-area surveillance.

VI. Working Principle1. Data Flow

  1. Camera Interface: Acquires analog/digital video signals from Camera Link® or GigE Vision® cameras.

  2. Digitization: Converts analog signals to digital (if applicable) and formats data for PCIe transfer.

  3. FPGA Processing: Applies user-defined preprocessing (e.g., ROI extraction) to reduce data volume.

  4. PCIe Transfer: Transfers processed data to host memory via DMA (Direct Memory Access).

2. Trigger Handling

  • Hardware Triggers: External signals (e.g., sensors, PLCs) initiate image capture without CPU intervention.

  • Software Triggers: Host applications trigger captures based on algorithmic conditions (e.g., motion detection).

3. Synchronization Mechanisms

  • Camera Sync: Uses dedicated sync lines to ensure all cameras in a multi-camera system capture images simultaneously.

  • Timestamping: Embeds precise timestamps into image data for post-processing synchronization.
