Why RDMA and TCP for GigEVision are a step backwards

Jul 26, 2023 | Allgemein

The GigE Vision standard uses a UDP-based protocol called GVSP to facilitate image transfer using Ethernet. As data rates have increased, some manufacturers have encountered difficulty achieving performance using GVSP, particularly when data rates approach 10Gbps or higher. This has led to experimentation with TCP or RDMA protocols to mitigate those difficulties but we see these options converge the GigEVision standard with point-to-point protocols like CXP and USB.

You-are-there

Feb 2, 2022 | Bildverarbeitungskameras

Imagine being able to stand next to your favorite performer during a once-in-a-lifetime concert – or having reserved seating at the 50-yard line for every game or the chance to “run” beside star players as they charge the goal during a league championship. Now, imagine being able to have these experiences while sitting in your living room, commuting home from a busy day at work, or playing the latest multiplayer game.

Novel 3D camera with 180° opening angle

Mar 23, 2020 | Allgemein, Topstory

The 3D camera technology HemiStereo enables for the first time a hemispherical depth detection. The entire half space in front of the camera is measured three-dimensionally, which corresponds to an opening angle of 180×180° (HxV).

Autonomous Machine Vision as a self-experiment

Mar 9, 2020 | Allgemein, inVISION, Topstory

Visual inspection in parts manufacturing is expensive, complicated and error-prone – this is the general consensus. Inspekto from Heilbronn has made it its business to change this and promises a plug&play system that delivers reliable results in the shortest time and with minimal installation effort. The inVISION has tested this in a self-experiment.

Standardization Initiative Embedded Vision Interface (emVision)

Feb 14, 2020 | Allgemein, Topstory

Development of embedded vision technologies is not solely triggered by machine vision players but also by consumer driven application fields such as smart phones. This creates the need to adapt these embedded vision systems to enable industrial solutions to use them. By addressing these needs, hosted by the EMVA a new standardization initiative has been formed.

Ethics and Explainability related to Artificial Intelligence

Dec 10, 2019 | Allgemein, Topstory

Since today’s artificial intelligence does not develop an awareness of what it learns, AI in principle is completely objective. Therefore the risks of using AI are related to the data and not in the AI itself. The current discussion of AI and ethics aims to prevent artificial intelligence systems from discriminating people.
