About High Speed Cameras

High speed cameras are designed for very fast image acquisition. They are used in scientific and industrial applications in which a process or inspection function is changing or moving rapidly. High speed cameras can operate in monochrome or color.  Monochrome is black and white, or grayscale; the image is presented in black, white, and grayscale.  The range of colors is generated with varying combinations of different discrete colors.  One common technique is sensing the red, green, and blue components (RGB) and combining them to create a wide spectrum of colors.

Important performance specifications to consider for high speed cameras include maximum frame rate, horizontal resolution, and shutter speed.  The maximum frame rate is the frames that can be captured per unit time, typically frames per second.  Horizontal resolution is the maximum number of individual picture elements that can be distinguished in a single scanning line. It is most common to characterize horizontal video resolution corrected for the image aspect ratio, or specify the resolution in the largest circle than can fit in a rectangular image.  Thus, for example a 640 x 480 image would be specified as 480 horizontal lines.  Shutter speed is the time of exposure or light collection, typically may be set across a wide range.

Products & Services Related to High Speed Cameras

CCD Cameras
Charge coupled device (CCD) cameras contain light-sensitive silicon chips that detect electrons excited by incoming light. They also contain micro circuitry that transfers a detected signal along a row of discrete picture elements or pixels, scanning the image very rapidly. CCD cameras use two-dimensional CCD arrays with many thousand of pixels.
CMOS Cameras
Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) cameras use image sensors that operate at lower voltages than charged coupled devices (CCDs), reducing power consumption for portable applications. Each CMOS active pixel sensor cell has its own buffer amplifier, and can be addressed and read individually. 
Low Light Cameras
Low light cameras are designed for low light applications. They contain sensors that are highly sensitive to light and reduce images to a series of lines.
Video Cameras
Video cameras take continuous pictures and generate signals for display or recording. They capture images by breaking them down into a series of lines. This search form does not include consumer devices such as camcorders.
Vision Sensors
Vision sensors are machine vision video cameras with integrated signal processing and imaging electronics. They typically include program and data interfaces.
