19 Dec 2006 Machine-vision colour inspection is now accelerated with Grablink Quickpack
Colour Filter Array
. MultiPix announce the Grablink Quickpack CFA (Colour Filter Array) with flexible and
high-performance image acquisition and pre-processing board dedicated to
area scan colour inspection. A set of dedicated on-board pre-processing
functions speeds up image processing for applications such as PCB, food or
pharmaceutical inspection without loading the host CPU.
These functions include a Bayer pattern decoder and a luminance blender
providing simultaneous Y and RGB output for monochrome and color inspection.
An optional white balance is computed on automatically selected white pixels
or on a user-defined 'region of interest'. Finally, four independent LUT
operators are available for the R, G, B and Y components.
The Grablink Quickpack CFA interfaces Base configuration Camera Link area
scan cameras up to 85 MHz and it processes 8,10 or 12bit images. The board
has a 128 MB memory and a 64-bit, 66 MHz Conventional PCI bus offering 240
MB/s of delivery bandwidth. Quickpack CFA features nine general-purpose I/O
lines to ease the board integration into industrial systems.
