Gigabit Ethernet Finds a Foothold in High-Performance Vision
ABSTRACT
Real-time operation is a requirement for most high-performance vision applications, including destructive testing, postal
sorting, security and surveillance, and the inspection of electronics gear such as flat panel displays, semi-conductors and circuit
boards. In these environments, microseconds count. Cameras must acquire image data quickly and stream it immediately to
PCs that process it on the spot with applications software. This allows the real-time triggering of actions, such as discarding
a defective device.
