Is there a light combination that can take pictures of light brown plastic bottle with water droplets to detect if the cap is on straight or if it is crooked? Cap is just slightly darker than bottle. Water droplets are causing problems. Can a blue light help or an IR backlight?

I have 2 applications where I need very uniform lighting across a large area (one is 52"x24", the other is 62" x 24", though other designs are possible). There are 2 camera is in the middle of this. I've reached out to several manufacturers/distributors for a light this large and with the specified ~25,000 Lux at .5 meters, but have been unable to get a quote. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who can do this?

Matt, I believe we can assist you. We have built some very large lights with holes for cameras. We are also just about to release a brand new series of lights called our LLPX. This light is built out of extrusion allowing us to build many large sizes and holes for cameras are not a problem. If you would email or call me with your contact information, I will pass it along to our Smart Vision Lights Business Development Manager to contact you to discuss your needs. In the mean time you can find more information about our company at www.smartvisionlights.com Thank you, Dave Spaulding

I am working on outdoor system for detecting fast moving objects. I need an inexpensive solution - 4 cameras shooting @ ~40 fps, 2MP, GIGE, frame level synchronization - in this case minimum 25 ms accuracy (1/40). I need roughly about 100 degrees H viewing angle per camera. The idea is to detect the objects and recreate their positions in X-Y-Z. Does anyone have any idea about the hardware setup? Its really tricky to find the right combination between sensor and optics to achieve the desired FOV at reasonable price (camera + housing + lenses should not be more than 500-600 USD). Another thing is the the synchronization, I want it to be as simple as possible, no additional trigger boxes and cables, so the sync must be done via PTP. The problem is not many cameras support PTP which makes the choice even harder or impossible.

Hello Ivan, We might be able to assist you. We have worked with a company using vision cameras to look at wood in an outdoor environment. Please see the attached article. http://smartvisionlights.com/applications/measuring-the-od-hardwood-logs If you would like further assistance with your application, please feel free to contact Casey Segraves casey@smartvisionlights.com or myself.
