Ajile Named Finalists in Prestigious Prism Award for Photonics Innovation

Ottawa, ON – Ajile Light Industries has been recognised for their innovative 3D imaging technology at North America’s largest optics and photonics conference, SPIE Photonics West. Named finalists in the SPIE Photonics West Prism Awards in the “Imaging & Cameras” category, Ajile Light Industries shares this distinction alongside photonics giants such as Nikon, Trumpf, Leica, and Hamamatsu. “We’re pleased to be named Prism Awards finalists for our DepthScan 3D imaging system,” said Alan Boate, Ajile Light Industries’ President & CEO. “The unique feature of the DepthScan is its ability to provide both very high resolution and very fast 3D imaging,…

Embedded USB 3 Streaming to Ajile DMD from Jetson TX2

Many Digital Micromirror Device users look to Ajile’s DMD controllers for their superior speed and flexibility. Now it’s possible to have precise, high-speed DMD control from a completely embedded system. The full Ajile Software Suite has been released for the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and the performance so far has been excellent. Most DMD controllers and projectors depend on video interfaces like HDMI to receive image data to display. Not only do these video interfaces offer limited speed and control, but they also typically need a full PC with a video card. With the Ajile software SDK and GUI running directly…

Ajile Receives IRAP Grant for Next Generation 3D Imaging

Ajile is pleased to announce the awarding of our third research grant from the National Research Council of Canada via the Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP). This new project will support the ongoing development of the next generation DepthScan 3D Imaging system and allow research into new 3D analysis algorithms for metrology and vision guided robotics tasks. IRAP is Canada’s premier innovation assistance program for small and medium-sized enterprises, and is widely respected globally as one of the best programs of its kind. The support provided by this program helps businesses to transform their ideas into commercial success. Previous IRAP…

Thank You For Joining Us at Photonics West 2018!

Thank You For Joining Us at Photonics West 2018! A huge thanks to the many visitors to our booth at Photonics West this year, it was our best showing yet and is sure to remain a highlight of 2018 for us. This year at the show we launched our new 3D Imaging System, which was running live at the booth. The system uses our own structured light DMD projector, synchronized via an advanced triggering interface with our smart camera to capture 4 million full color 3D points in 250 ms. The system’s fast data transfer via USB 3.0, plus GPU…

Press Release – Ajile and LACI To Collaborate On Research

PRESS RELEASE Ajile and LACI to Collaborate On Research By R. Gribben Jan 05, 2018 Ottawa, Canada – The Laboratory of Applied Computational Imaging (LACI) has announced its intention to use Ajile Light Industries’ high-speed DMD controllers for work on the development of high-speed 3D imaging technologies. This research will extend through the end of 2018, is hoped to yield new imaging techniques and instruments for use in research, industry, and biomedicine, and will be funded in part through an NSERC Engage grant. This is the latest in a series of contracts with universities, research institutes, and technology companies since the controller’s launch…

Ajile Light Industries at Photonics West 2018

Ajile Light Industries at Photonics West 2018 The team at Ajile is excited to be heading to San Francisco from January 27 to February 1 to exhibit at SPIE Photonics West 2018, for our third year at the world’s largest event for the laser and photonics industries. The program includes courses, seminars, research presentations, and training, plus thousands of exhibitors from dozens of countries at the main exhibition. Last year’s attendance topped 23,000, and the organizers at SPIE are anticipating a similar turnout at this year’s event. Of particular interest is the annual Conference on Emerging Digital Micromirror Device Based Systems…

Improved Imaging With Sub-Pixel Resolution

Sub-Pixel Resolution For Improved Image Quality As 3D imaging continues to become increasingly important in both research and industry, tools are becoming available to turn theoretical research into practical technology. Our systems are well positioned to do this, and we are now in the process of enabling sub-pixel resolution to achieve even higher levels of 3D image quality. A key limitation of optical instruments is the size of the sensor’s pixels. When features being imaged are smaller than the pixel size, typical responses are to use a more expensive sensor with more pixels per unit area or to modify the…

Ajile 10x Boost to Data Transfer Speeds With USB3.0

High Speed Data Transfer with AJD-4500-U and AJP-4500-U Ajile’s key strength lies in our products’ ability to create, control, and capture light at high speeds without sacrificing accuracy. We are pleased to announce an important step forward with the release of the AJD-4500-U and AJP-4500-U versions of our DMD controller and structured light projector this month. The -U versions feature USB3.0 data transfer at speeds exceeding 2000 binary frames/second. This upgrade lets users take full advantage of the high frame rates featured by Ajile’s DMD-based systems. Emerging developments in the realm of image processing depend on a constant flow of…
