    Edge detection detects an Edge from a picture, and Equipped with a Camera Link standard small connector. outputs an image made of the Edge only. The XCL-5000 can output a digital image at 15 frames Edge emphasis outputs a clear image emphasized on the per second.
  • Page 4: Typical Ccd Phenomena

    Typical CCD Phenomena The following effects on the monitor screen are characteristic of CCD cameras. They do not indicate any fault with the camera module. Smear This occurs when shooting a very bright object such as electric lighting, the sun, or a strong reflection. This phenomenon is caused by an electric charge induced by infrared radiation deep in the photosensor.

    In this case, a boundary appears in the center of the window due to the difference of the left and right levels. XCL-5000 has an automatic correction function that automatically detects and corrects the difference between the levels in order to make it indistinguishable.

  • Page 12: Partial Scan Mode

    Partial scan mode In this mode, the desired area is read out as the effective image portion from the effective image area that is vertically divided into approximately 16 areas, and the redundant image area is transmitted at high speed to increase the frame rate.

  • Page 16: Trigger Mode

    Trigger mode In this mode video signals begin to accumulate through synchronization with the external trigger input (12-pin or 26-pin). The video signals are output after the specified time has passed. Two modes are usable-the edge detection mode, which detects the rise edge of the external trigger signal, and the width detection mode, which detects the effective length of the trigger.

  • Page 26: Edge Detection/Emphasizing Process

    Edge detection/Emphasizing process Edge detection is the filter that detects an edge with controlling noise by taking the difference of contracting level of both sides of the original image in 4 directions- left, right, top and bottom individually. This features output of the clearer edge detected image.
  • Page 27: Binarization

    Binarization Executes the binarizion process. The threshold value can be set in the range from 240 to 3900 (in 12 bits). When the image output bit is changed, the range of the threshold value setting will be 60 to 975 (in 10 bits) and 15 to 243 (in 8 bits).
