Simultaneous imaging of RGB color video and near-infrared video with a 4CCD line sensor camera 'LQ-200CL'
JAi Corporation has started selling the 4CCD line sensor camera 'LQ-200CL', which can simultaneously capture RGB color images and monochrome near-infrared images. The 'LQ-200CL' is a 4CCD line sensor camera that uses one 2048-pixel linear CCD sensor each for R, G, B, and near-infrared. It can capture high-definition color images and near-infrared images simultaneously with a single camera, with a pixel clock of 40MHz and a maximum scan speed of 19,048 lines per second. The shutter speed and gain values of the four CCDs can be independently adjusted, allowing for beautiful images with minimal noise. Additionally, it has built-in correction functions useful for image processing, such as shading correction, which can reduce the load on the host computer. Multiple inspections using different wavelengths can be performed in a single capture, including print inspection, textile inspection, sorting of agricultural products, and foreign object inspection in food.
