1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on buying the Inca vision system!
An Inca is a high quality intelligent camera for image
acquisition and processing. Inca offers a complete vision
system that is ACCURATE, FAST, COMPACT and COST-
EFFECTIVE. The high-resolution, high dynamic range
sensor provides the best basis for the development of a
very accurate vision system. Having all the processing
power close to the sensor and the capability of region of
interest processing reduces processing time and thus
faster systems can be realised. Because of this integrated
processor, display capabilities and industrial I/O, the Inca
offers a very compact total vision solution, without any
need for additional hardware like e.g. a PC. This makes an
Inca solution besides very cost-effective also transparent
and easy to work with. Finally the industrial housing
provides optimal possibilities for incorporating the Inca in
almost every (industrial) environment.
