Attendees of the 2019 Embedded Vision Summit can explore the innovative Alvium Camera Series in Allied Vision’s booth, #412, held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The event took place from May 20-23, 2019, offering a platform for professionals to delve into cutting-edge solutions for industrial and embedded vision applications.

What is the Alvium Camera Series?

The Alvium Camera Series represents a breakthrough in camera technology, merging industrial machine vision with embedded systems through an innovative platform designed by Allied Vision. This versatile series addresses diverse application needs with three configuration options: bare board, open housing, and closed housing. Additionally, users can select from two interfaces—MIPI CSI-2 or USB3 Vision—to suit their system requirements.

At the core of Alvium lies ALVIUM® Technology, a proprietary ASIC developed by Allied Vision featuring an integrated image signal processor (IPS) and a comprehensive image processing library (IPL). This technology streamlines advanced imaging tasks, freeing up host CPU resources for other functions while optimizing power usage through intelligent management.
