Machine Vision Camera and LiDAR Technology Presented by Craig A. Waltzer President & Chief Executive Officer
A machine vision camera captures raw image data and sends it uncompressed to a PCA CCTV camera compresses and smooths-out image data utilizing an on-board encoder (which looks good), but doesn’t provide the quality needed for detailed analysis
The file size of a single Machine Vision 2 MP image (one frame) is 6 MB compared to 200 KB for a compressed CCTV image (30 times larger).Now multiply by 30 times each second
Machine Vision cameras are typically deployed for Open Road Tolling because each frame is an uncompressed independent image
Machine Vision cameras for Open Road Tolling utilize global shutters that expose entire images to light at the exact same time
Machine Vision Cameras have a GigE or USB 3.0 connection interface to a local industrial PC board with powerful “frame grabbing” capabilities
Machine Vision cameras for Open Road Tolling are connected to a local PC that is specifically designed and programmed for high-speed image capture
The Machine Vision’s industrial PC has significantly more processing power compared to the CCTVs on-board encoder
The Machine Vision camera system’s PC is designed for burstable high-resolution, high frame rate images
Machine vision cameras rely on a triggered flash to ensure image clarity
Microwave (MVDS) and LiDAR technologies have been developed and perfected for Open Road Tolling as an alternative to inductive loops in the ground
MVDS will trigger a Machine Vision camera and classify a vehicle entering or exiting a toll gantry. This technology measures each vehicle’s location, speed and distance 50 times per second
LiDAR will trigger a Machine Vision camera for a vehicle entering or exiting a toll gantry at 80 miles per hour (117 feet per second) in 6 – 12 inch intervals
LiDAR draws and measures vehicles passing through gantries with unprecedented accuracyLiDAR will also be deployed on gantries for autonomous vehicle center-lane marker confirmation
Lidar technology mounted roadside can accurately detect Wrong-Way Drivers at the speed of light!
