Inspecting CMOS Image Sensors for Dirt and Defects
Inspecting CMOS Image Sensors for Dirt and Defects
Automatic optical inspection systems provide fast, noncontact, and reliable high-resolution defect recognition for the microelectronics industry and are widely used and incorporated into the industry’s in-line production flow. In-line inspection machines must be fast enough to meet or exceed the takt time of the line to avoid affecting production throughput.

Selecting the Right Filter Is Critical to SWIR Imaging
Selecting the Right Filter Is Critical to SWIR Imaging
Shortwave IR (SWIR) imaging has seen a surge in use in recent years, playing an important role in imaging agricultural products, food, pharmaceuticals, and high-heat glass and metal manufacturing. Given the strong absorption of moisture within the SWIR range, users can check fill levels in opaque bottles, visualize underlying features such as anti-counterfeiting security codes, or use the technology for a wide range of other applications.

The Rise of Embedded Vision Puts FPGAs in the Spotlight
The Rise of Embedded Vision Puts FPGAs in the Spotlight
A field-programmable gate array, as the name implies, is an integrated circuit that contains an array of transistor-based logic gates. The connections between these gates can be changed at will, allowing for rewiring that alters what the FPGA does. It can turn pixels into a video stream for further processing; locate features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth to determine where a person is looking; or perform other vision tasks, such as object detection and identification.
