Monday, 23 January 2012 10:24
The newly formed European Imaging Academy will held its first UK event this 29th February at Weybridge, Surrey. The Mercedes-Benz World will welcome the world leading machine vision companies to the 3D technology day for a day full of theoretical and practical training in machine vision.
As with the 2011 similar event, held in Munich, STEMMER IMAGING will join the most important 3D actors on a one-day event aiming to obtain an overview of the current 3D industry state and explore new applications and markets.
Companies assisting will obtain quality information to be used on machine vision, network opportunities and direct training from the world leading 3D experts. The presentations will be covering the following topics:
- High-speed laser triangulation in industrial applications
- Dedicated software algorithms for 3D point clouds
- Innovative line lasers for industrial imaging
- Fringe light projection with practical examples
- 100% surface inspection of parts
- Optical 3D measurement systems for checking of form, completeness and surface.
AQSENSE has the pleasure of have been invited again and will be there presenting the latest additions to SAL3D, the standard cloud of points acquisition and manipulation library.

AQSENSE will exhibit at the Vision Show 2011
Monday, 07 November 2011 09:41
The VISION trade show 2011, from 8th to 10th November, in the Messe Stuttgart will held the presentation of the latest trends and innovations in industrial inspection and image processing.
AQSENSE will be there and we will take the opportunity to exhibit our latest advances like the recently released version of SAL3D, our 3D Shape Analysis Library.
Thanks to our distributors and partners network, AQSENSE technologies will be shown at these demos:
- AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY (Hall 4-A 75 and Hall 4-C 73): The new CX explorer, the configuration software for the C4 cameras from AutomationTechnology, includes the SAL3D's lens and metric calibration functionalities.
- EFFILUX (Hall 6-A 10): Using a LED lighting system from EFFILUX, the EFFI-Lase series, replacing the conventional laser, a high accuracy 3D acquisition system will be presented integrating an IDS camera and the SAL3D software from AQSENSE
- PHOTONFOCUS (Hall 4-C 71): Using SAL3D and the new 3D Photonfocus camera, a demonstration will be on display using 2D tools to measure 3D metric acquired data.
- RAUSCHER GmbH (Hall 4-C 15): A 3D scanning application integrating the new 3D Photonfocus camera, SAL3D and MIL software libraries will be on demonstration.
- SILICON SOFTWARE (Hall 4-D 72): SAL3D's Peak Detector will be shown as part of SmartApplets 3D in a measurement application together with a Full configuration camera (10 taps) of Baumer (HXC20 with Cmosis sensor and 2MP resolution)
- STEMMER IMAGING (Hall 4-C 51): CVB's 3D tools will be on display on several demos with Automation Technology cameras and VRmagic area scan 3D.
- XIMEA (Hall 4-B 13): A 3D acquisition system will be on demonstration integrating SAL3D and the Ximea's Currera R camera.

LED lighting enhances 3D scanners performance
Monday, 19 September 2011 08:29
In the seek of new technologies to improve 3D cloud of points acquisition, AQSENSE, one of the 3D machine vision leading companies, has started exploring LED lighting. Hand in hand with Effilux, the French innovative company dedicated to led systems for the machine vision industry, a cool white-light, 50μm line C-mount LED (EFFI-Lase_CM_1_000 model) has been applied to highly demanding scans where resolution was the key point.
The performance of laser systems, offering a great field of view, is good enough for average requirements where resolutions of hundreds of microns are enough. However, when better resolutions are required, a laser limitation appears: the speckle. This phenomenon, consisting of a random granular pattern caused by the laser reflection on rough surfaces, can blind some points acquisition, limiting the minimum resolution achievable.
LED lighting, on the other hand, does not provides the same visual field as lasers but avoids this speckle limitations allowing greater resolutions and thus being the perfect option for small surfaces scanning.
With this new technology AQSENSE opens a new door to its costumers, allowing very high resolution acquisition while keeping the speed and robustness of SAL3D library for alignment, measurement and manipulation of the acquired clouds of points.

SAL3D for LabVIEW released at NI Week
Friday, 29 July 2011 14:00
AQSENSE will be presenting, together with Imaginglab, a LabVIEW version of its SAL3D vision library at NI Week 2011 (Austin, 2-4 August) .
After months of collaboration between ImagingLab and AQSENSE, SAL3D library for LabVIEW will be released this summer containing, among other functionality, the Angular Calibration Tool. This module porting is specially useful as it will combine the simplicity of LabVIEW with advanced laser-triangulation functionality. On one side, the Angular Calibration Tool will allow mounting angular camera-laser systems on robot arms, avoiding the rippling problems present when performing linear scans. On the other side, the LabVIEW porting will provide advanced 3D machine vision functionality to all programmers using the National Instrument's Tool.
NIWeek is a leading industry's event on graphical system design, joining more than 3.000 scientist, engineers and educators from all over the globe. This year's conference, already the 17th issue, will be held from 2 August at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas, for three days of workshops, exhibitions, technical sessions and the latest advances on design, control, automation, manufacturing, and test.
ImagingLab will be showing the SAL3D porting and a demo of its functionality at the NI Week , booth number 1006.

Ximea cameras are now compatible with SAL3D
Monday, 18 July 2011 13:28
XIMEA, the leading German cameras supplier, has recently announced its compatibility with SAL3D library.
XIMEA website has added a new section about AQSENSE explaining how SAL3D provides tools for
"3D machine vision applications targeting complex surfaces where accuracy and repeatability are critical, environments where non-contact is mandatory (sand cores, cushioned objects, food processing ...) and high processing speed is required."
They are also teaching how AQSENSE technologies can be used in their cameras and providing a sample which
"demonstrates the use of the SAL3D Peak Detector Tool to acquire surface profiles that are processed into range maps and displayed in real-time."
This demo application allows users to:
- preview live image from the camera
- control camera resolution, binning, exposure and gain
- set Peak Detector Tool threshold
- set number of captured profiles to be used during range map creation
