Region of Interest
The ROI (region of interest) selects only a part of the sensor to be read out.
Please be aware, that in order to speed up the frame rate and to reduce the
amount of image data, the selected ROI needs to be placed symmetrical to
the horizontal center line. The decreased image size you see within
Camware is a combination of reduced sensor resolution and software
downsizing (“Soft-ROI”). Please be aware, that in some cases, especially for
cameras with Camera Link interface, small changes in resolution will not
influence the frame rate.
Examples of achievable frame rates at a specific ROI can be found in the
datasheets of the cameras, see appendix A1.
Note: “Soft-ROI” is enabled within Camware by default. Due to this functionality, the resolution
of pco.edge cameras with Camera Link interface can be adjusted in steps of 1 – 4 pixels. Since
the readout architecture of these cameras is not able to address single pixels, this downsizing
is done by software. If you work with Device Adapters (µManager, Labview, etc.) or with our
SDK, the Soft-ROI is disabled by default. For Further information, please see the SDK
description.
