May 6, 2014 - Hood River, OR - HoodTech Vision (www.hoodtechvision.com), a leading manufacturer of stabilized imaging payloads for small unmanned and manned systems, will be demonstrating the recently introduced Alticam 05-EO5, a 4-axis stabilized imaging payload for small to medium unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) at AUVSI's Unmanned Systems 2014 in Orlando, Florida, booth #847. Based on HoodTech Vision's latest EO imaging technology, the Alticam 05-EO5 features a four-axis stabilized gimbal system with coordinate hold mode and embedded video stabilization and tracking functions. The pan-over-tilt payload turret is vibration-isolated with a slew rate of 50 degrees/per second. With dual-mode operation, network/serial and analog (video), the 05 turret includes an embedded video server and an optional network interface.


The new Alticam 05-EO5 is a drop-in replacement for HoodTech's legacy Alticam 06 and Alticam 07 models, offering better optics and improved stabilization.

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.
