Abstract:
An illuminator (3) is provided for an image acquisition system (1), which comprises an optical apparatus (2) for acquiring images with which this illuminator (3) is associable. The optical apparatus (2) is provided with optical means (6) and the illuminator (3) comprises: a body (20) provided with an opening (21), for receiving the optical means (6); illuminating means (23) arranged around the opening (21) in a frontal face (22) of this body (20) and commandable by the optical apparatus (2) to illuminate a space in front of the frontal face (22), electronic control means of the illuminator (3); heat dissipating means (38, 38a); connecting means (40) for removably fixing said illuminator (3) at least to the optical apparatus (2). The body (20) of the illuminator comprises a rear face (25) opposite the frontal face (22) which comprises a plurality of distinct functional case elements positioned around the opening (21) for receiving at least said electronic control means and/or which defines said heat dissipating means (38, 38a) and/or said connecting means (40), in such a manner as to enable an operator, when said optical apparatus (2) is associated with said illuminator (3), to access said optical means (6) to dismantle said optical means (6) from said apparatus (2) and/or adjust optical adjusting means (7, 8) of said optical means (6).
Abstract:
The method includes the steps of acquiring, by at least one camera having a predetermined magnification ratio, at least one image containing at least one coded information and at least one object and properly associating the coded information with the at least one object on the basis of the position of the coded information and of the at least one object along an advancing direction with respect to a fixed reference system. The above-mentioned position of the coded information is determined starting from the position of the coded information within the image acquired by the camera and on the basis of the distance of the coded information from the camera. Such a distance is in turn determined on the basis of the magnification factor of a reference physical dimension detected at a surface of the object or of the coded information.
