New Features for the Basler ace: PGI for Monochrome Cameras and Stacked ROI

With two powerful new features we expand the image processing options of our most successful camera series, the Basler ace: • PGI for monochrome cameras • Stacked ROI to select multiple regions of interest Watch our video to learn about the functionality and benefits of the new ace features as well as how to adapt their settings in our pylon Camera Software Suite according to your needs. PGI for Monochrome Cameras PGI, the unique feature combination of 5x5 debayering, color-anti-aliasing, denoising, and improved sharpness has already simplified color applications in many areas and even enabled applications that weren’t previously possible. We now offer an adjusted version of this patented in-camera image optimization for monochrome cameras. The PGI features--denoising and improved sharpness--are perfectly adapted to the demands of monochrome cameras. In contrast to color cameras, a debayered pixel format is not required for these cameras. As a result, raw images can be used and the maximum sensor speed can be utilized. Thus, PGI enables quicker image processing and with it higher throughputs that open up additional cost savings along the image processing chain, all while significantly optimizing image quality. The PGI feature set for monochrome cameras is available for the entire ace L product line and all ace U models with Pregius sensors from Sony and with PYTHON sensors from ON Semiconductor. Stacked ROI: Selection of Multiple Regions of Interest With the help of our Stacked ROI feature, the focus in an application can be directed to multiple regions of interest (ROI) at the same time. Selecting multiple ROIs allows the user to increase speed and reduce data load when reading image data. Stacked ROI includes the use of up to eight (four for the Sony IMX174) stacked zones which are adjustable in height. We offer this feature integrated in the FPGA for all ace U and ace L models with PYTHON sensors from ON Semiconductor and the fast Sony Pregius sensors (IMX174, IMX252, IMX250, IMX255, IMX253).
