Low Cost SWIR camera w/ IMX990 Sony SenSWIR sensor

The Allied Vision Alvium G5-130 VSWIR 5GigE is a low cost swir camera, powered by the ALVIUM® Technology Allied Vision’s ASIC chip, features a Sony IMX990 1/2″ 1.3 megapixel sensor with a 130 frame rate at full resolution.

Alvium GigE and 5GigE cameras are available in a broad spectral range that includes UV, visible, NIR, and SWIR, in color or monochrome with C-mount, CS-mount or S-mount (M12) mount options. Color models include an IR cut filter, monochrome models ship with no filter/protection glass. The 5GigE interface provides higher bandwidth without sacrificing image quality, and is backward compatible with existing GigE applications.

Allied Vision Alvium series 1GigE and 5GigE cameras are designed for use in both machine vision and embedded applications. Offering high image quality and reducing the workload for the host, this Alvium SWIR camera enables innovation among vision system designers. The advanced ALVIUM System on Chip (SoC) performs image corrections and preprocessing tasks onboard the camera instead of on the host computer

Alvium G1 – Compact GigE camera for excellent image quality
The Alvium G1 camera series will come in a future-proof package with a comprehensive feature set including a broad selection of the most popular sensors in machine vision. By using Allied Vision’s Alvium chip and the latest industrial standard hardware, it can easily be integrated into any vision system while ensuring long-term availability and reliability.

Alvium G5 – The easy upgrade for more performance
The Alvium G5 low cost swir camera series offers all the advantages of the GigE Vision standard while providing more bandwidth for applications, where resolution and frame rate are critical. The Alvium G5 camera series enables an easy upgrade of existing systems (USB3 Vision or GigE Vision) and offers backwards compatibility with GigE solutions.

  Alvium 1800 G5-130 VSWIR Software

  VIMBA SDK

  Vimba in Alvium 1800 G5-130 SWIR is a comprehensive software suite:

  • Acquire images and explore camera features without programming.
  • Program your vision applications with C, C++, .NET or Python APIs.
  • Connect to third-party libraries and frameworks.

  Platform independent

  Vimba 6.0 was tested with:

  • Vimba for Windows 64-bit:
    • Windows 10 (GigE, USB, 1394, and Camera Link cameras)
    • Windows 11 (GigE, USB, and 1394 cameras)
  • Vimba for Windows 32-bit:
    • Windows 10 (GigE, USB, 1394, and Camera Link cameras)
  • Vimba for Linux: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (64-bit), Debian 11.2 (64-bit)
  • Vimba for ARM64: NVIDIA Xavier NX with
    • JetPack 4.6 (L4T 32.6.1) – GigE and USB cameras

  To operate Alvium CSI-2 cameras on your vision system, Allied Vision provides different access modes:

  • GenICam for CSI-2 Access controls the camera by GenICam features, using the Alvium CSI-2 driver and CSI-2 transport layer (TL) directly.
  • Direct Register Access (DRA) to control the cameras via registers for advanced users.
  • Video4Linux2 Access allows to control the cameras via established V4L2 API and applications like GStreamer and OpenCV.

  Supported embedded boards:

• From quick prototyping to sophisticated development

  Vimba provides four APIs with extensive documentation and code examples:

  The Python API is perfect for a quick and easy start or for prototyping.
  The C API is Vimba’s basic and easy-to-use API. It can also be used as API for C++ applications.
  The C++ API has an elaborate class architecture. It is designed as a highly efficient and sophisticated API for advanced object-oriented programming including the STL (standard template library), shared pointers, and interface classes. If you prefer an API with less design patterns, we recommend the Vimba C API.
  The .NET API supports all .NET languages, for example, C#, C++/CLI, or Visual Basic .NET. Its general concept is similar to the C++ API.

  All APIs cover the following functions:

  • Listing currently connected cameras
  • Controlling camera features
  • Receiving images from the camera
  • Notifications about camera connections or disconnections

  The Image Transform Library converts camera images into other pixel formats and creates color images from raw images (debayering). While this is separated for the C and C++ API, the .NET API includes these functions. Therefore, a .NET application does not have to access the Image Transform Library. The APIs use GenICam transport layer (GenTL) libraries to communicate with the cameras.

  Third-party libraries compatibility

  Vimba’s transport layers automatically connect  to third-party software, for example, LabVIEW, MATLAB, OpenCV, Halcon, CVB, and many more.
