How to choose the right camera or smart camera for your machine vision system

When it comes to choosing the correctindustrial camera or smart camerafor your machine vision and imaging needs, understanding camera and optic specifications are crucial. 

In a free webcast on February 14, Perry West, President, Automated Vision Systems, Inc., will explain these specifications while also discussing factors such as resolution, frame rate, pixel count, field of view, as well as provide an overview of the types of cameras that are currently available.

Additionally, he will explain how these specifications impact system performance for producing images that can be analyzed by machine vision software. Furthermore, West will discuss how choosing the correct lens for your camera can affect system performance. During the webcast, attendees will come away knowing what factors to consider in choosing a camera for your application, and how to weigh these specific parameters.

Following the webcast, you’ll have the opportunity to get your camera-specific questions answered by West, as the presentation will conclude with audience Q&A.
