New e2v linescan camera details

We have a new publication detailing the range of line scan cameras available from e2v. A copy (pdf file) can be downloaded here.

With 25 years experience in the CCD field, since the development of its first digital camera prototype, e2v is now recognized as a key supplier in the machine-vision market. e2v digital CCD camera technology delivers better image quality compared to analog cameras. In digital CCD cameras, the digitization takes place in the camera and results in better dynamic range and a higher image accuracy, while image quality is clearly one of the most important features to machine-vision applications. They are competing in this machine-vision market by supplying line scan cameras coupled with services at an excellent price to quality ratio.

mvBlueLYNX
More and more cities around the world try to control the traffic in order to avoid traffic congestions.

Examples would be LONDON  and STOCKHOLM with  their Congestion Charge.

The camera could be used to enforce the payment of the charge by registering the number plates "on the fly".

Number plate recognition for restricted areas (parking lots, companies, airports,....) car size classification, average speed cameras are also examples where you could use the camera.

Any toll plaza on a motorway would use these cameras as well. Also traffic frequency counts are an application field.

Alrad Flooded- The day the rain came down!!

Flood PictureFlood Picture

On the 20th July 2007 the Alrad offices were flooded after heavy rains in Newbury. However due to a fantastic effort by all staff this has caused minimum disruption to business. The offices were flooded to a level of 2 feet. Fortunately flood waters receded quickly so salvage work was able to start very rapidly and services restored within a short period. The company can assure all customers and suppliers that normal service has now been restored although it could be some months before the building is back to looking like its old self.
