Description

The Vision Cam EB from IMAGO Technologies is a compact embedded vision system with an innovative event based sensor. Instead of capturing full images at fixed frame rates, the event camera only registers relevant changes – exactly when light intensity changes at individual pixels.

This principle is based on the Prophesee Event-based Vision Sensor (EVS), modeled after human vision: relevant motion is detected, redundant image data is ignored.

The result is a system optimized for applications where speed, low data load, and extreme contrast conditions are critical. With its integrated ARM processor, industrial interfaces, and compact housing, the Vision Cam EB is easy to integrate into existing applications – without the need for a high-performance PC.

Advantages

Capture of extremely fast motion

With up to 30 million events per second, the Vision Cam EB reliably captures highly dynamic processes in real time. No movement is lost between two frames – perfect for high-frequency tasks.

Reduced data load, full information

Instead of continuous frame capture, each pixel transmits an event only when relevant changes occur. This drastically reduces data volume, minimizing computing and memory requirements.

Wide dynamic range up to 120 dB

Even under extreme brightness differences, such as welding, the Vision Cam EB delivers usable results. The dynamic range clearly outperforms conventional CCD or CMOS sensors.

Microsecond-precise timestamps

All captured events are provided with exact timestamps – ideal for synchronized rejection systems or precise process monitoring.

Compact, industry-grade system design

With dimensions starting at 50 × 105 × 30 mm, the Event-based Camera fits easily into space-constrained installations. Interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, digital I/Os, and RS-232 simplify system integration.

Lower system costs through lean architecture

Thanks to the drastically reduced data load, a less powerful computing unit is sufficient. This lowers overall system costs – without loss of quality.

Fast start with ViewIT Framework

The ViewIT software environment enables rapid implementation of applications such as counting, vibration analysis, or motion tracking – without additional programming effort outside of image processing.

Applications

The Vision Cam EB unfolds its full potential where traditional image processing systems reach their limits – for example in high-speed, variable-light, or time-critical environments.

Pharma

Reliably counts even challenging objects such as gel capsules. Detects foreign bodies in liquids – e.g., vaccines – faster and more efficiently than conventional systems.

Food & Beverage

Monitors fill levels and intervenes precisely in rapid processes – for example, when bottles are picked up on conveyor belts.

Production and Web Inspection

Perfect for dynamic processes such as welding, laser cutting, or vibration analysis. Ideal for predictive maintenance of machines with variable operating behavior.

Packaging & Logistics

Reads barcodes on the move, detects packaging sizes, and issues warnings in case of conveyor blockages – a smart solution for modern intralogistics.

Traffic & Transport

Analyzes traffic situations without storing full images – for example, for statistical evaluation of vehicle movements, waiting times, or unusual events.

Target Group

The Vision Cam EB is aimed primarily at OEMs, machine builders, and integrators who want to integrate fast and flexible image processing into their systems – without high hardware costs. It is particularly beneficial for users with requirements for high dynamics, real-time capability, and efficiency.

Typical application areas of event based cameras include production machines, inspection stations, transport solutions, and smart infrastructures – anywhere conventional cameras are no longer sufficient.

    Technology: Event Based Cameras Explained

    The EVS sensor in the Vision Cam EB works fundamentally differently from conventional sensors: each pixel operates autonomously and sends a signal only when local light intensity changes. Instead of fixed image cycles, this creates dynamic event streams – precisely aligned to relevant motion.

    This principle is inspired by human vision and offers decisive advantages: less data, higher speed, and robust detection under variable lighting conditions.

    Architecture & Interfaces of the Vision Cam EB

    The Vision Cam EB is equipped with a powerful ARM Cortex-A15 CPU, supports Ethernet with 1000 Mbit/s, and provides RS-232 as well as opto-isolated digital inputs and outputs. Its compact design and robustness make it the ideal solution for edge computing and embedded applications in industrial environments.

    FAQs on the Event Camera Vision Cam EB

    What distinguishes event cameras from traditional cameras?

    Event cameras capture only relevant image changes, while traditional cameras record full images in fixed cycles. This saves data, reduces computing load, and increases speed.

    How does the event sensor of the Vision Cam EB work?

    Each pixel independently detects changes in brightness and sends event data – without centralized timing or complete frames. This allows the camera to react instantly to changes.

    How does integration with ViewIT work?

    ViewIT is a graphical framework that includes ready-to-use modules for common tasks such as counting or vibration analysis. Custom algorithms can also be added.

    What interfaces are available on the event based camera?

    The Vision Cam EB offers Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232, and digital I/Os (2 inputs, 4 outputs), making it fully industry-ready.
