In modern smart factories, high-resolution line scan lenses, like 16K and 4K models, help monitor product quality on fast production lines. These lenses capture detailed images that detect tiny defects invisible to the human eye, allowing early error detection, reducing waste, and keeping production efficient. They are especially useful in Read more…
Modern factories improve quality inspection by combining AI with custom optical lenses. Smart cameras capture sharp, detailed images, while AI analyzes them for defects that human inspectors might miss. This approach helps catch tiny flaws, reduces waste, and keeps production running efficiently, making inspection faster, more reliable, and practical for Read more…
In industrial imaging, lens distortions like blurriness or warped shapes can hinder defect detection and measurement accuracy. Traditional calibration is time-consuming and slows production. AI-driven calibration now automatically learns from real-time images to correct these errors, improving accuracy, saving time, and reducing costs. This technology allows operators to achieve better Read more…
In industrial inspection, SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) and multispectral lenses allow manufacturers to see beyond the visible spectrum. Unlike standard cameras, they can detect hidden defects, moisture content, chemical composition, and internal structures. This enables earlier flaw detection, more thorough inspections, and reduced waste, improving overall quality control and process efficiency. Read more…
Edge AI processes data locally on the factory floor, enabling real-time decisions without relying on the cloud. High-resolution industrial lenses are essential for these systems, providing sharp, detailed images that let AI detect defects, track objects, and identify patterns accurately. Clear imaging ensures fast, reliable analysis, allowing edge AI to Read more…
IIn Industry 4.0, smart factories depend on machines that can “see” their environment, and cameras are central to this capability. Standard lenses often fall short for specialized tasks, which is why custom lenses are essential. By designing optics to meet specific needs—such as detecting minute defects, reading fast-moving codes, or Read more…
What 4K/8K Production Trends Might Entail For the Film Industry With the fast pace of filmmaking it’s crucial to stay ahead of new trends. But as we look ahead to 2025 the 4K and 8K production boom is changing the game. These new bells and whistles offer filmmakers unmatched clarity, not to mention explanation. Read more…
This is game-changing for indie filmmakers this November, with sets of small and almost weightless cinema lenses on sale now. CHIOPT understands what filmmakers need to step up their film quality, yet keep things lightweight and compact for when they can’t take a heavy camera setup along with them. Today on the Read more…
With new movements in the film industry, cinema lens manufacturers are often tasked to innovate and merge processes repeatedly. For the first time in a long time: virtual production is stepping out of the digital realm and tangling things up with everything that rests below ∞ Lens in a bodiless era Read more…
