Intel
®
Atom™ processor E3845 at 1.91GHz improves dramatically
on the performance of existing smart cameras. The high end
processor provides up to 6 times the computing power of
conventional smart cameras.
The 4 MP 60 fps 1-inch global shutter sensor improves on rolling
shutter sensors with improved raw image clarity, for high speed
inspection precision.

Raw image
CPU Algorithm GPU
Edge shading, shadowing, or large image size can impair inspection result
and/or occupy excessive CPU bandwidth
Shading correction can significantly
rectify anomalies from non-uniform
camera sensitivity.
LUT (look up table) processes images by
highlighting details in areas containing
specific information and solves optical
non-uniformity by improving contrast and
brightness.
ROI (region of interest) processing
allows selection of a subset of samples
within a dataset to enhance inspection
efficiency
Performs OCR (optical character
recognition) and barcode scanning
operations, as well as positioning
detection, identification, and
verification.
H.264 encoding conserves
storage space and speeds
transmission, reducing TCO.
The NEON-1040/1020's FPGA accelerates image pre-processing and reduces CPU loading, making it ideal
for complex acquisitions like those in LUT (look up table), ROI (region of interest), and shading correction .
Thanks for FPGA, the CPU resource can focus on algorithm and make inspection tasking more efficiency.

Open architecture and easy development dramatically
reduce time to market
In a real application environment, different development languages and software tools are required in machine vision, motion controller, smart camera
and line scan camera stations . A platform allowing development in a single language, with easy deployment from existing platforms, conserving
manpower costs and reducing time to market.
Programming in the x86 architecture
NEON-1040/1020 is based on x86 architecture, with all
development environments familiar to users, for
motion/HMI/IO solutions, seamless migration from the
original x86 platform.
Rich third party software support
The NEON-1040/1020 provides flexible software support for MVTec
HALCON, STEMMER IMAGING Common Vision Blox, Adaptive Vision,
Open CV, Open CL and more. As well, GeniCam and GenTL
compatibility simplify communication with devices and allow third
party software to control cameras and acquire image data.

64-bit computing
As image analyses software have to deal with great bulk of data,
most mainstream software products in this segment support 64-bit
instructions. Therefore, it is better for implementers to choose a
vision system that supports 64-bit computing environment.

Applications
Pharmaceutical inspection, including inspection for visual defects, package labels, pattern matching or scanning barcodes on a high-speed folding
machine or product line, demands high resolution captures with powerful processing to manage large image data. Global shutter sensors deployed in a
fast moving product line provide clear and stable images for image. To manage the variety of inspection methods used, a flexible and programmable
inspection platform is ideally suited to pharmaceuticalapplications.
High Speed Pharmaceutical Inspection
