Labforge Bottlenose high-resolution smart cameras

Labforge’s Bottlenose family of high-resolution smart cameras, available in monocular and stereo versions, are suitable for robotics, industrial automation, Internet of Things (IoT) and security applications. The stereo versions include dual image sensors, and both monocular and stereo versions have hardware-synchronised, triple-axis gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers. Engineers can connect the cameras over standard Ethernet using GigE Vision 2.1 or a serial port.

The cameras have a 20.5 TOPS processor for HDR, and feature point detection and matching, dense disparity and artificial intelligence. This capability can be used for on-camera object detection, segmentation, classification, depth computation and feature tracking. The cameras have no minimum compute requirements on the client side, allowing engineers to use a simple microcontroller to read results via the serial port. For advanced applications, results can also be seamlessly read via popular frameworks like MVTec HALCON and ROS via the GigE Vision 2.1 API.

The cameras are suitable for service and delivery robots, agtech robots, manufacturing automation, gait analysis, and food and beverage processing.
