To most people, machine vision means visible wavelength imaging—and no wonder, since “vision” and “visible” come from the same root. But visible light is just a tiny slice of the electromagnetic spectrum, and there are some significant advantages to imaging in non-visible wavelengths such as X-Ray, ultraviolet, and infrared.

On November 19, Teledyne DALSA and IRCameras will sponsor a webcast on “Understanding and applying infrared imaging in vision systems.” Hosted by Vision Systems Design and presented by Jonathan Kane, President of Clear Align, the webcast will address topics including:

• The fundamentals of the IR spectrum and advantages of IR imaging for machine vision
• The different types of sensor materials used to capture image data
• Important features of the latest IR cameras and how to choose a camera for your specific application
• Examples of machine vision applications in which IR cameras have been successfully deployed
