Valde Systems has introduced the first camera designed specifically for outdoor autonomous vehicle operation. Now you don't have to choose between cheap, poor-quality security cameras and expensive, but fragile, machine-vision cameras.
The VS151 combines convenient size, ruggedness, and capability with a price you can afford.
The one truth about vision-processing requirements for autonomous robotics is that no one ever wants to do less. With each new development cycle, there are more and more demands placed on the vision-processing solution. However, size, weight, power consumption and cost have direct effects on the efficiency and success of autonomous robotic configurations. Lower power consumption translates directly into longer battery life and longer operational times. Small size and light weight are also beneficial parameters, since these translate into lighter loads, which in turn reduce power consumption.
Vision is widely deployed in autonomous robotics, and is often used as the main sensory input for navigation, obstacle avoidance, and path planning. Many autonomous robots consist of a single computer that must handle all aspects of robot operation, and it is often difficult to balance all the robot's required functions. Since vision processing is typically the largest consumer of processor time, a significant improvement in performance can be achieved by offloading this task to a dedicated image processor.
With a Valde Systems image processor you can meet your current requirements while still having room for future features, and you can keep your reputation as a miracle worker.
