We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Image Quality",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Remote graphics units qualify for DCS, SCADA from
Matrox Graphics, which we summarised at the time by saying "A number of process automation companies have qualified the use of Matrox Extio remote graphics units with their distributed control systems and SCADA software".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Handle the capture of very fast moving objects from
Adept Electronic Solutions: "DALSA's new high speed cameras are compact easy-to-use digital cameras engineered specifically to accommodate most industrial machine vision applications".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Flir Systems
concerning its IR cameras
- take a look at IR cameras suit for on-board image analysis
which says: "Thermography has emerged as one of the most widely applicable preventive maintenance and condition monitoring technologies for the railway sector".
Take a look also at the news release from Flir Systems, Thermal camera has high performance,
as well as High speed camera has high resolution from Firstsight Vision,
and IR camera for thermal surveillance from Cedip Infrared Systems.
