A seminar programme crossing the spectrum, from an introduction to the basics of imaging to the measurement of 200,000,000 images per second!
This seminar series will be divided into four sessions over two days. It will be the first time that UKIVA has included High Speed Imaging in their PHOTONEX programme. This is being done because of the increasing number of applications for high speed imaging made possible by the greater processing speeds of today's microprocessors. Imaging speeds, from relatively low speed biological imaging across the spectrum to the high speed needs of industry, for process monitoring to crash testing and that of research for aerospace and ballistics.

Liquid Lens Technology |
| |
Varioptic - from LINOS Photonics |
| |
Varioptic liquid lenses are a revolutionary proven new technology fuelled by the mobile phone industry. They utilise liquid 'wetting' principles to provide a lens that is very robust, low cost and with auto-focus, with a response time of less than 10ms and no moving parts. These lenses can replace similar systems that require mechanical focussing, thus greatly reducing cost and the possibility of mechanical failure.
Applications include mobile phones web cams, security, machine vision. At Photonex the Product Manager will explain how they work and how they are used. |

Vehicle embedded video recording |
| |
Julie Busby, Multipix Imaging |

Vehicle embedded video recording – Julie Busby, Multipix Imaging
In the world of vehicle mounted recorders, embedded recorders are at a distinct advantage over PC based recorders. This presentation will include case studies of in-flight recording and rail inspection where compact and rugged recording solutions are essential. |

Mark Williamson, Firstsight Vision |
| |
| 2.30pm |
Multicore Imaging Processing |
| |
Mike Bailey, National Instruments |
| |
Maximising use of the latest multicore processors for image processing is not a trivial task. A variety of methods for optimising your application will be analysed and discussed through this session. |

Introduction to Machine Vision Lensing and Lighting |
| |
Jon Vickers, Firstsight Vision |
| |
| 11.45am |
Cameras - what factors are important |
| |
Raf Slotwinski, Alrad Imaging |
| |
This will look at resolution, interfacing and frame rate. |
| |
|
|
| 1pm |
Diagnostic Imaging using high speed cameras |
| |
Mark Williamson – Firstsight Vision |
| |
This presentation will talk about mid range high speed cameras often used automation diagnostics. The cameras in this range tend to deliver frame rates in the range of 500 to 5000 fps at full resolutions ranging from 640 x 480 to 1.4MPixels. Typically these cameras have all the image memory built in so the control PC is only required for control and downloading of the images. |
| |
| 1.45pm |
Dissecting time |
| |
Keith Taylor - Specialised Imaging |
| |
A look backwards and forwards at the ever-evolving technology of ultra high speed imaging from early film to electrons. A brief history and a peek into the technology driving image acquisition rates into the hundreds of millions. |
| |
| 2.30pm |
Time Delay Integration (TDI) , The Answer to Demands for Increasing Frame Rate/Sensitivity? |
| |
Craig Palmer – Hamamatsu Photonics (U.K.) Ltd |
| |
With the market demanding higher speed operation, Hamamatsu Photonics have developed a range of CCDs and CCD cameras, which use Time Delay Integration to achieve up to 100kHz line rates.
Ordinarily high speed imaging systems suffer from a lack of available light and special illumination systems need to be constructed. Using the TDI (time delay integration) image acquisition method however, our sensor/camera synchronises charge transfer with the moving object, thus giving 128x the image integration time of a conventional line sensor. When combined with the high sensitivity of the back thinned CCD chip this results in an output two or three orders of magnitude greater compared to a regular line scan camera.
A technical overview of this technique will be given, together with example applications. |
