How e-con Systems Solves Motion and Lighting Challenges in High-Speed Imaging

Prabu KumarOctober 1, 20260

Capturing fast-moving objects requires both precise image capture and controlled illumination. Fast-moving objects can introduce motion-related distortion, while the short exposure times used to freeze motion can reduce the light reaching the sensor. A global shutter camera addresses motion-related distortion by capturing the entire frame simultaneously, making it suitable for...

Understanding SLVS-EC: Bridge the Gap Between High-Speed Sony Sensors and MIPI-Based SoCs

Prabu KumarSep 11, 20260

Industrial imaging applications continue to push camera requirements toward higher resolutions, faster frame rates, greater bit depths, and advanced sensor capabilities. This creates a corresponding demand for interfaces that can carry large volumes of image data from the sensor to the processing platform. MIPI CSI-2 remains widely used by embedded...

How to Evaluate Lens Flare in Embedded Vision Systems: From ISO 18844 to IEEE P2020

Prabu KumarAug 25, 20260

When evaluating the performance of a camera system, it is easy to assume that image artifacts stem from the digital sensor or the Image Signal Processor (ISP). However, one of the most stubborn and destructive phenomena in embedded vision is purely optical: Lens Flare. Our previous blog explored how optical...

How Multi-Sensor Fusion of Camera, LiDAR, and IMU Drives Reliable AMR Operation

Suresh MadhuAug 7, 20260

AMR solutions can automate up to 80% of non-conveyed material movement and reduce inventory needs by up to 30%. Gains like that depend on perception that stays reliable during real material handling. However, reliable AMR operation depends on what the robot can confirm while the material is already moving. Route...

Robotics Development Just Got Faster & Smarter: e-con Systems’ iToF 3D Camera Comes to NVIDIA Isaac Sim

Arun AsokanAugust 7, 20260

Every robotics project that depends on 3D perception starts with the same high-stakes questions: How many cameras are required? Where should they be mounted? Traditionally, answering these questions has meant procuring hardware, building test rigs, and iterating slowly. This can consume weeks of engineering effort before a single line of...

How e-con Systems Delivered a Complete RGB-D Vision Solution for a Physical AI Robotics Leader

Prabu KumarAugust 24, 20260

Physical AI is moving fast from lab demos to production floors, but it only works if robots can perceive the world with human-like precision. For a robotic arm picking thousands of unique objects an hour, depth perception is measured in millimeters. And so, even a few millimeters of error can

A Developer’s Guide to USB Camera Streaming on Linux Using Open-Source Command-Line Tools

Prabu KumarJuly 13, 20260

Streaming from a camera on Linux is a common requirement, especially for developers building embedded vision applications. In many cases, proprietary software solutions add licensing costs and limit flexibility, making it difficult to customize workflows for specific applications. To overcome these challenges, we will demonstrate how to leverage popular open-source...

How the Lack of Black Level Correction Can Affect Image Quality

Prabu KumarJuly 15, 20260

The first blog in this series covered what Black Level Correction (BLC) is, the physics behind dark current and the black level offset, how that offset is measured, why sensors add a deliberate pedestal before the ADC, and how BLC interacts with each stage of the ISP pipeline from lens...
