Abstract:
An illumination head (1) for machine vision has an annular support (2) with first, second, third, and fourth illumination sections (3, 4, 5, and 6). The third section (5) has three sets of LEDs (12, 13, 14) arranged in a pattern so that each set illuminates at approximately the same angle. Each set is driven in succession so that a series of three monochrome images at the same angle are captured. These are superimposed by an image processor to provide a colour image, although the camera is monochrome. More information can be obtained in such a colour image and the high resolution and robustness of monochrome cameras is availed of.

Abstract:
A light guide member (220) useable for an object detection apparatus (101) is devised. The object detection apparatus (101) includes a light source unit (210), and a detection unit (206) for detecting an object adhered on a surface of a light translucent member, configuring a vehicle, based on change of light quantity of reflection light received from the light translucent member when light exiting from the light source unit (210) is reflected from the light translucent member. The light guide member (220) includes an incident face (223) where the light exiting from the light source unit (210) enters; a detection face (222) where the exiting light exits to a rear face of the light translucent member and the reflection light reflected from the light translucent member enters; an exiting face (224) where the reflection light exits to the detection unit (206); and a light guiding portion (227) through which the exiting light and the reflection light proceed. The detection face (222) has curvature corresponding to curvature of the light translucent member.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a system having an optically transparent substrate having a first side and a second side that are opposed to each other, a microprocessor, a database, a camera disposed upon the first side of the optically transparent substrate and a source of illumination. The source of illumination is disposed in a ring around the camera on the first side and is operative to illuminate the object disposed on the second side of the optically transparent substrate. Further the camera is in operative communication with the microprocessor and the database. The camera is operative to capture an image of an object disposed upon the second side of the optically transparent substrate. The microprocessor is operative to calculate dimensions and geometry of the object from the image and facilitate acceptance or rejection of the object based upon a standard, a parameter or a calibration chart.
Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide an illumination device lineup having many variations that respond to various illumination visual fields and work distances while the cost is controlled. Another object of the invention is to provide a producing method for implementing the illumination device having the many variations. Each cell includes a light emitting element mounted on a board and a lens that is disposed so as to be paired with the light emitting element. A relative positional relationship between the light emitting element and the lens in each cell varies according to a position on the board. Therefore, light is emitted from the light emitting element to the outside with a non-zero angle that is determined in each cell with respect to a direction perpendicular to the board.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for examining optically a sample carried in a plurality of wells. A holder is adapted to receive and hold in place a sample carrier. A plurality of excitation means selectively introduce excitation towards a spatially limited portion of a sample carrier held in place by said holder. Detecting means receive and detect emission radiation coupled out from a light output window of a sample carrier held in place by said holder. Said detecting means is common to said excitation means and is configured to receive emission radiation from a plurality of different spatially limited portions of a sample carrier held in place by said holder.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for optically inspecting an at least partially reflecting surface of an item, having a first and at least one second crossbeam (12, 14) each forming a section (32) largely in the shape of a circular segment. The crossbeams (12, 14) are disposed at a longitudinal distance (D) from one another, defining a longitudinal axis (17). The two crossbeams (12, 14) are held at the longitudinal distance (D) by means of a plurality of longitudinal beams (16). The longitudinal beams (16) are disposed at a defined radial distance (38) from the sections (32) in the shape of circular segments. The crossbeams (12, 14) support a light-transparent diffusing screen (34) forming a tunnel-shaped inspection space (36). A plurality of light sources (48) are disposed outside of the tunnel-shaped inspection space (36) behind the diffusing screen, said sources being controllable individually or in small groups in order to generate variable light-dark patterns (90) on the diffusing screen. At least one camera (74, 78) is set up in the tunnel-shaped inspection space (36).
