The VidPro 17xx series is a
combination of imaging equipment developed by leading manufacturers such
as - Dage-MTI, Data Translation, Hitachi, Integral Technology, Media
Cybernetics, and Sony Corporation.
|
 |
VidPro 1700 systems
consist of four models that will satisfy a range of applications from -
determining cellular structure and size, to measuring a manufactured part for
correct tolerances. The VidPro 1700 contains a single chip color video camera
for applications using low magnification. While the VidPro 1702 utilizes a three
chip color camera for higher magnifications and tighter tolerances. The VidPro
1701 uses a monochrome video camera and the VidPro 1703 includes an analog image
processor for image enhancement.

VidPro 18xx systems consist of four models
that will satisfy a range of low light and Fluorescence applications. The
VidPro 1800 contains an integrating three chip color video camera for
applications requiring low light, while the VidPro 1802 utilizes a
thermally cooled, integrating, three chip color camera for fluorescence
and extremely low light level fluorescence applications. The VidPro 1801
uses an integrating monochrome video camera for black and white imaging
whereas the VidPro 1803 includes a thermally cooled, integrating,
monochrome camera for black and white, extremely low light level
fluorescence applications.
VidPro is a complete image analysis system
built with industry leading components. This series addresses the seven
steps of image analysis - Capture, Process, Measure, Analyze, Archive,
Communicate and Customize.
VidPro block diagram
Capture
images from the video camera that meets your application.
Process
images to guarantee high quality, accuracy and reproducible results.
Use equalization, background subtraction, correction and field flattening to
enhance color, brightness and contrast.
Measure
simple geometric objects or complex structure-function relationships.
Absolute spatial calibration, closely coupled with the image acquisition device,
guarantees the most accurate measurement data. Add density calibration to
complete the data collection capabilities.
Analyze,
test, compare and visualize your data for maximum results. Collect and visualize
your data using scattergrams, histograms, line profiles, and pseudo-color. For
convenient archiving, documentation and further statistical analysis, send the
results directly to Excel or other Windows based spreadsheets via DDE (Dynamic
Data Exchange).
Archive
your images along with textual information for easier retrieval. Use
our search engine to locate field specific data relating to your images.
Communicate
information and images with your colleagues with the built-in internet
and report generation tools.
Customize
application specific routines or create macros to automate functions
with AutoPro, the built-in macro language.
Included with VidPro is Tele-Support. This
allows us to diagnose potential system problems from our facility and provide a
solution immediately.
