Page 8: Matrox Gatoreye Gige Vision Industrial Camera
Matrox GatorEye GigE Vision industrial camera Matrox GatorEye is a family of feature-rich GigE Vision industrial cameras. These cameras are fully integrated in an IP67 enclosure, eliminating the need to separately source a sealed camera housing, while still providing easy access to the lens. - Page 9 Matrox GatorEye GigE Vision industrial camera This manual uses the term Matrox GatorEye to refer to all members of the Matrox GatorEye family. When necessary, this manual distinguishes between the different Matrox GatorEye cameras using their full names. Matrox GatorEye can communicate with other devices through the Ethernet (100/1000 BaseT), RS-232 serial port, and auxiliary digital I/O lines.

Page 27: Chapter 3: Matrox Gatoreye User Guide
Chapter Matrox GatorEye Chapter 3: User Guide This chapter describes the GenICam-extension features for your Matrox GatorEye in detail. -
Page 28: Using The Genicam-Extension Features
It is sometimes useful to find the position of the highest intensity in every column of an image. The LocatePeak... GenICam-extension features allow you to configure Matrox GatorEye to perform very fast and efficient peak intensity detection on each column of pixels in a source image (laser range control). The operation finds the neighborhood in each column with the greatest average intensity and records the average as the peak intensity value for that column. - Page 29 Configuring your laser range control the laser plane. The camera is used to grab an image of the intersection of the laser plane with the object. From the way that the laser line deforms when striking the object's surfaces, depth and surface information can be established for that "slice" of the object.
-
Page 30: Setting Up Peak Intensity Detection
By grabbing a sequence of images in grayscale as the object moves underneath the laser plane, your Matrox GatorEye can generate an uncorrected depth map of the exposed topography of the object. An uncorrected depth map is an image where the gray value of a pixel represents its depth in the world, although the depth is not its actual world depth and its shape is not corrected for the angle of the camera. - Page 31 Configuring your laser range control When detecting the peak intensity in every column of the source image, the camera determines the Y-coordinate and value of the peak intensity and records them in 2 or 3 rows of the destination image buffer, at an offset corresponding to the column in the source image buffer.
- Page 32 32 Chapter 3: Matrox GatorEye User Guide You can specify the minimum average intensity level required to record a position, using the LocatePeakMinIntensity feature. If you set this intensity level too high, the laser range operation might not detect any peak in a column; in this case, it sets the peak position to the maximum possible value of the destination position buffer (that is, an invalid position).

• DHCP. Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a protocol that requires a client and a server. Your computer and Matrox GatorEye are DHCP clients. A DHCP server serves DHCP client requests on a network and automatically assigns each DHCP client a unique dynamic IP address. DHCP works with a DNS server to associate a computer’s name with its IP address so that, to connect to the computer,... - Page 57 Auto IP service of a DHCP client assigns a dynamic IP address that, by default, might change each time your computer (and/or your Matrox GatorEye) reboots. A DHCP server, if used, can assign an IP address to a computer for a fixed amount of time.
