Novel vision app-based sensors and cameras ensure maximum flexibility
What would smartphones be without apps? They would be ordinary mobile phones and surely far less versatile. With IDS NXT, camera manufacturer IDS applies the app principle to industrial image processing. Users benefit from the greatest possible flexibility: they can assign their required image processing task to vision app-based cameras and sensors according to their individual demand. This approach allows not only a variable functionality of the devices, but also the direct, device-internal processing of information provided by the image sensor. Based on the app development kit and a HALCON embedded runtime license, users can create and install individual vision apps. The IDS NXT platform kicks off with IDS NXT vegas with 1.3 MP CMOS sensor, liquid lens with autofocus, integrated ToF sensor and many other functions.
