SPECIM HIGHLIGHTS COMPLETE AND EASY-TO-DEPLOY SPECTRAL IMAGING PLATFORM AT AUTOMATE 2022

Specim, Spectral Imaging Ltd., demonstrates SpecimONE, a spectral imaging platform that makes it easy to create sorting applications without coding or in-depth knowledge of hyperspectral imaging

(Oulu, Finland/Detroit, MI, USA; May 17, 2022) From June 6-9, at Automate 2022, Specim will demonstrate SpecimONE — a complete, easy-to-deploy spectral imaging platform — in booth 5249. Compatible with major industrial machine vision standards such as GigE Vision and CameraLink, SpecimONE provides seamless integration with vision software such as Halcon and Sherlock, making it easy for machine builders, vision systems integrators, and other OEMs to create new sorting applications.

"The potential of hyperspectral imaging in industrial sorting applications cannot be overstated. By recording hundreds of bands across a wide spectral bandpass that is not limited to the visible part of the spectrum, our customers can identify materials based on their chemical composition instead of size, shape, and visible color," says Tapio Kallonen, CEO of Specim. "We aim to make to make spectral imaging easy, and SpecimONE takes a giant leap toward that goal. By combining our experience developing industrial hardware with our spectral imaging expertise in a complete spectral imaging platform, SpecimONE makes creating industrial sorting solutions faster, cheaper, and easier than ever before."
SpecimONE Consists of Three Essential Parts
SpecimONE includes the industry-proven Specim FX series hyperspectral camera, SpecimCUBE processing hardware, and SpecimINSIGHT, an off-line software tool.
Specim FX series cameras are the first hyperspectral instruments designed specifically for industrial use. With a compact and robust design that provides installation flexibility, FX series cameras achieve the high frame rates required to keep up with modern sorting and production lines.
SpecimCUBE is a high-performance processing platform that runs classification models created by SpecimINSIGHT in real time. Based on Xavier, a system-on-a-chip developed by Nvidia, SpecimCUBE includes optimized software to meet industry requirements for throughput, latency, and jitter. SpecimCUBE receives the data from Specim FX cameras and processes it in real time based on a classification model. The sorting results are streamed over GigE Vision to the target systems such as sorting machines and existing machine vision systems. SpecimCUBE provides excellent performance for real-time sorting applications with the flexibility to switch and run different models.
SpecimINSIGHT allows users to browse and explore data and create and validate classification models. The current feature set focuses on sorting industry requirements. It includes a robust yet fast classification algorithm PLS-DA and support for MROI functionality, both of which benefit from FX series camera speed. In addition, SpecimINSIGHT supports all Specim camera dataset formats.

Featured Product

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
