High resolution lenses for machine vision — standard and custom lens design
High Speed Imaging Measures Surface Deformation
High Resolution Lenses for machine vision, instrumentation, inspection and vibration-sensitive applications. Standard and custom hi-res lens assemblies.
High Speed Imaging
By using a combination of two high-speed CMOS lens cameras with specific software; it can produce accurate data that can be used for product design and to identify surface deformation.
This new technique is being used to accurately measure deformations of specific surfaces in two or three dimensions. This technique is called digital image correlation (DIC) and is a measurement tool that uses high-resolution machine vision to accurately depict the landscape being measured. Although this technology is not new, and was established around 1985 by engineers at University of South Carolina, new technology is allowing for an increase in the use of this type of measurement.
Because of the hardware improvement in machine vision, which is resulting in higher resolution, the depictions are now crisper and more precise allowing for engineers to better measure surface deformations. The advances of technology continue to impress and as CMOS lenses become better so will their uses.
