Quest Innovations made its name in Europe by
developing a full architecture on which complex machine vision
applications could be easily built. Working with integration companies
using this software led Quest to begin producing specialized image
acquisition and processing hardware to efficiently execute the developed
code. Ultimately, Quest found that one of the products it developed for
a customer lent itself to release as a full product line for
multispectral imaging. This is the Condor 1000 camera series and its
first model, the MS-5.

Condor 1000 MS-5 5-channel multispectral camera |
 |
The Quest Innovations Condor
1000 MS-5 camera incorporates a five-channel spectral separation
prism and five high-performance CMOS image sensors. The first
model supplies RGB imaging plus two near-infrared detection
bands, however, both the band structure and the sensor size and
type may be specified by the customer.
Key Features
• 5 aligned optical
acquisition channels
• 5 high-speed CMOS Sensors
• 150 Frames/second
• 210 Mbytes/second of data
8 or 10 bit per channel digital output
|
| For maximum imaging
control and flexibility, the MS-5 includes separate control of
integration time, gain, lookup tables, region of interest and
many post-processing functions for each of the five sensors.
CameraLink or optical fiber digital interfaces are available. |
| The MS-5 is just the first
member of a growing product line from Quest Innovations. Also
available are cameras with 2, 3 or 4 prism outputs. Special
prism glasses can extend the spectral capabilities down to 200
nm in the ultraviolet and up to 2.4 µm in the shortwave
infrared.
Optical accessories available
include various lens mounts, custom channel filters, manual or
motorized filters wheels at the input or outputs and
user-specific mounts and enclosures.
From their earlier work, Quest
can match complete image processing subsystems with
user-programming interfaces to the customer camera
configuration. |
