Doing “The Knowledge”

Before being set loose, London cab drivers (“cabbies”) have to master The Knowledge. This means learning their way through the maze of streets and complex one-way systems that constitutes the capital of the UK. It takes time, but once acquired, a “cabbie” can take you from A to B faster than any other mode of transport.

Machine vision professionals need to do the same – not memorizing the London “A to Z” but getting a thorough grasp of the technology basics. Andor, who specialize in “the development and manufacture of high performance digital cameras,” have an excellent section on their website that will help.

There’s a lot of very detailed info on subjects such as CCD Architectures, Binning, and Blooming. If you’re serious about mastering camera technology, click here to access the information provided by Andor.
