We are going to purchase a new video digitizing camera for
general purpose use in our computer vision/image processing
lab and are considering several possibilities:
1. 3-tube color Vidicon manufactured by JVC (model BY110-U).
2. a good quality grey level Vidicon camera.
3. a good quality grey level CCD camera.
However, as you can imagine, there are many price and quality
tradeoffs involved. The price tradeoffs are easy to discover,
it's the quality tradeoffs that are not so clear.
Do you have experience with both Vidicon and CCD cameras? If so,
I would like to know your opinions.
Some specific questions are:
a. Is the CCD better than either of the Vidicon cameras?
b. Can you digitize a good quality color image with the
CCD camera using filters?
c. How much of a problem is linearity with a Vidicon
camera? That is, the ability to achieve a consistent
response across an image of a single color.
d. What are your general comments on CCD vs. Vidicon cameras?
Please mail your response to me at any of the addresses
given below. I will post a summary if it is warranted.
Thanks in advance,
Jon Hull
