Image-processing board
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 11/1/2005
The XRI-1200 from Dalsa Coreco is a PC-based digital image-processing board designed for x-ray imaging applications in which images contain motion artifacts and exhibit low-contrast, high-noise characteristics. The new board performs adaptive image processing to reduce noise in both still and dynamic images, significantly improving image quality and contrast. An FPGA-based image-processing engine performs real-time digital image processing in three dynamic stages, improving measurement and diagnostic accuracy. The real-time image-processing engine employs adaptive frame averaging to reduce noise while compensating for sensor non-uniformity and lens distortions.
The XRI Software Development Toolkit (SDK) includes tools, utilities, and installation scripts to promote rapid application development, diagnosis, and deployment. The XRI-SDK imaging libraries permit users to control all aspects of the image-acquisition process and image-storage function on both the local and host computers. Price: $3500 (OEM qty).
