USB 2 Camera Images

USB 2 cameras provide an attractive alternative to frame grabber cards located inside the computer, but they also operate differently from frame grabbers. These differences require a different setup strategy in order to get the best quality images. The results presented here are intended to show that high quality is available from the USB 2 camera. The complete discussion is found in USB 2 Camera Images, a pdf document. Unfortunately some image quality is lost in the image compression involved in making the pdf document. In particular, some drop profile edges appear ragged or rough when they are not. Therefore, the individual images are also made available here as jpg files.
