Machine Vision Area Scan Camera FAQs
Line scan cameras use image processing software to capture an image line by line to gradually build up a complete picture. In contrast, area scan cameras are able to capture an object in a single image. Both types of camera have different applications, with area scan cameras particularly effective for capturing images of slow-moving objects, for example on a manufacturing production line.
Streaming area scan cameras can be used in a variety of applications across multiple industries, including the medical and manufacturing sectors. A machine vision area scan camera can play a key role in in-vitro diagnostic testing, endoscopy and microscopy procedures, surgical imaging, and in industrial vision applications.
The benefits of using JADAK’s machine vision area scan cameras include high-speed image processing, superior image quality, versatility and flexibility, and the ability to customize the technology to your business’ unique needs. Area scan cameras can also be a more cost-effective option than line scan cameras
