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 applications for vision systems in industrial applications, like reading labels and checking for defective parts, are numerous. There is an entire machine-vision industry supporting such industrial applications, and these applications work very well.
Some applications, however, require functions not available in standard software packages. For applications where a PC and the available standard software may not be the best choice, an embedded vision processor from Valde Systems may be the most sensible and cost-effective option.
The VS1501 from Valde Systems is often a good fit for custom applications due to its high performance and its small size. The VS1501 achieves 5760 MIPS of performance (comparable to a 2.5GHz Pentium processor), yet it is packaged in a small 6 x 5 x 2-inch enclosure, and the VS1501 consumes only six watts of power, maximum.
The VS1501 can also be used as a "pre-processor," doing complex number crunching in multiple camera arrays before passing the data on to another processor.
