4.3.2 Multiple Regions of Interest
The Photonfocus MV1-D1024E-80-G2 camera can handle up to 512 different regions of interest.
This feature can be used to reduce the amount image data and increase the frame rate. An
application example for using multiple regions of interest (MROI) is a laser triangulation system
with several laser lines. The multiple ROIs are joined together and form a single image, which
is transferred to the frame grabber.
An individual MROI region is defined by its starting value in y-direction and its height. The
starting value in horizontal direction and the width is the same for all MROI regions and is
defined by the ROI settings. The maximum frame rate in MROI mode depends on the number
of rows and columns being read out. Overlapping ROIs are not allowed and no row must be
read out more than once.
The individual ROI in a MROI must not overlap and no row should be included in
more than one ROI.
Fig. 4.17 compares ROI and MROI: the setups (visualized on the image sensor area) are
displayed in the upper half of the drawing. The lower half shows the dimensions of the
resulting image. On the left-hand side an example of ROI is shown and on the right-hand side
an example of MROI. It can be readily seen that the resulting image with MROI is smaller than
the resulting image with ROI only and the former will result in an increase in image frame rate.
