Understand USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2, and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for USB cameras. Vadzo explains interface differences, bandwidth limits, and design impact.

Lens distortion bends straight lines and warps geometry in images, but with proper lens selection and calibration, it can be accurately corrected in embedded vision systems.

USB UVC cameras enable plug-and-play video streaming on Linux systems using native V4L2 support. This guide demonstrates how to detect a USB camera, install OpenCV, and stream video using Python on Ubuntu.

This guide explains how to download, install, and configure IrfanView on Windows for viewing standard and RAW image formats used in machine vision workflows. It covers plugin installation, system requirements, and verification steps, with a focus on accurately displaying high bit-depth monochrome formats such as Y12 without normalization or automatic image enhancement.

This technical guide details the end-to-end workflow for streaming a monochrome camera in Y12 format, capturing still images, and accurately viewing Y12 RAW files on Windows. It explains how to configure vadzoARC for unprocessed sensor output and how to use IrfanView to validate 12-bit RAW image data for industrial and machine vision applications.

Y12 is a 12-bit monochrome streaming format that delivers 4096 gray levels for high dynamic range and low-noise imaging. Commonly used in industrial and machine vision systems, Y12 preserves near-raw sensor data for accurate inspection, measurement, and analysis where grayscale precision directly impacts performance.
