Checksum: 03214 Path: utzoo!utgpu!craig From: craig@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca (Craig Hubley) Date: Mon, 25-Sep-89 06:47:23 EDT Message-ID: <1989Sep25.064723.775@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca> Organization: University of Toronto Computing Services Newsgroups: sci.electronics Subject: Very Small Cheap Cameras for Machine Vision I am interested in specifications, and ultimately a source, for very small cheap cameras for use in machine-vision-type applications. Very low resolution monochrome is appropriate, though of course other options will be considered in a bang/buck/size/weight equation! Small size is the primary consideration: I would like to find something maybe the size of a Chap-Stick or less that still has the capability of focussing on full- size real-world objects. I saw something like this in a Japanese film (A Taxing Woman by Juzo Itami) and it didn't look like they were faking it. Someone told me that sci.electronics hosted such a discussion just recently. Small distance microphones, voice microphones, body temperature, EKG and EEG sensors, very small LCD screens, and the like are of interest too. Please respond by email and I'll summarize to this group for others interested in these areas.
