Creative Agency Redpepper (Nashville, TN,

software that can find “Waldo” in under
five seconds.

Looking toward growth areas, 65% of manufacturers see embedded
vision as one of the biggest opportunities to integrate image process-
ing technology into all facets of life and work.
Camera pricing
While 2017 saw a stabilization in the cost of mid- and high-priced
cameras, responses from manufacturers and users suggest that prices
are falling again. Sixty-two percent of users say they would be prepared
to spend $350 or less on a camera, compared to 19% the previous year.
(Figure 2). Thirty-one percent of respondents would pay between $350
and $1000 for a camera, a fall of seven percentage points from 2017,
while 8% of users would invest over $1000 in their camera, a fall of
34 percentage points.
The price segment below $150 increased by just three percentage
points, while the losses in the over-$1000 segment are largely due to
the benefit of the mid-price segment, which increased from 33% to
44%. This shift can likely be explained through a combination of
the altered participant sampling, and the increased competition from
Asian manufacturers.
A clear and stable sensor market

The sensor market is clear and remains stable. Sony (Tokyo, Japan;
www.sony.com) remains the market leader among the surveyed users at
48%. ON Semiconductor follows with a market share of 22%. At 19%,
ams Sensors Belgium (CMOSIS; Antwerp, Belgium; www.cmosis.com)
will play a significant role in the clearly divided sensor market over the
medium term.
The picture is similarly evident among manufacturers. After a few
challenging years for Sony, the Japanese giant has secured market lead-
ership with a share of 62%, a doubling of the previous year’s market
share. ON Semiconductor (Phoenix, AZ, USA; www.onsemi.com) has
a market share of 22%, a fall of three percentage points. Teledyne e2V

in the field of view (FOV) the testing should
be done and how many field points should be
reviewed to ensure conformance. Additionally,
the wavelengths of light used can have a sig-
nificant influence on the test. Different light
sources have varying spectral content and will
produce mixed MTF results on the same lens.
The most basic, and widely-used version of
MTF testing is reverse projection (Figure 4).
This is done by back illuminating a precision
target that is placed at the imaging plane of
the lens (the sensor location). This creates a
high-contrast object in that location, which is
then projected through the lens onto a wall or
screen, creating a projected image in the loca-
tion of the object the lens is designed to look
at. This is running the lens in reverse to see
its performance. The advantage of this tech-
nique is that gives a great deal of information
across the entire FOV at the same time and has
high-volume throughput. The downside is that Figure 3: Interferometry is used to quantify the surface accuracy of individual glass components.

Stray light is the amount of unwanted light that makes it to the
sensor. It is present in all lens systems and manifests itself in a couple
of different ways.
It can occur when light enters the lens at angles outside the lens’

Digital Polarised Technology
finding
weakness
in strength The new Polarsens sensor technology
in our XCG-CP510 polarising
camera reveals tell-tale clues that
can lurk unseen – from subtle
imperfections to dangerous defects.
Teamed with our custom software development

kit, it’s a uniquely powerful diagnostic tool in a wide
range of critical imaging tasks – from robotics,
machine vision and factory inspection lines to
clinical, scientific and transport environments.
We’ll help you clarify the truth

LED LIGHT MANAGER

Addressing the lighting control needs of multi-light machine vision solutions
The programmable LED

Light Manager (LLM)
addresses the lighting
control needs of multi-
light machine vision
solutions, including
photometric 3D,
multispectral, and other
multi-light systems.
The LLM can drive multiple lights of virtually

any type or up to four individual zones or
channels within an integrated photometric
or multispectral ring light solution. Each
• Photometric Stereo • Multi-light program can contain up to six sequences
• Multi-wavelength • Multi-zone with up to four lights set to continuous on,
off, any intensity level in between, and even
• Multispectral • And More OverDrive TM strobe mode.
