The Imaging Source blog

Trade professionals from a wide variety of industries convened on this year's Vision China Shanghai 2018 to see the latest offerings from the world of machine vision. The Imaging Source displayed its newest USB 3.1 (gen. 1) industrial and board cameras featuring Sony's Pregius and STARVIS sensors.

In addition to static camera displays, booth visitors were invited to see how features such as trigger, strobe, resolution, image capture and processing function among the camera models via dynamic conditions offered by a Carrera race track.

The Imaging Source also partnered with MiM Tech to demonstrate MiM Tech's software using the DFK 33GP1300 camera. Their "iMatch" feature allows end-users to set the program to locate specific objects for tracking, measurement and inspection which is especially interesting for applications in automated production and defect inspection.
