Abstract:
A spray pattern imaging apparatus, and method of operation, is described herein. The method is carried out by the spray pattern imaging apparatus that includes a frame having a set of known aspects corresponding to a first dimension and a second dimension within a first plane. The spray pattern imaging apparatus also includes a light source generating a planar light pattern within a substantially same plane as the first plane of the frame. The set of known aspects facilitate both correcting an image distortion and a scaling of a spray pattern image generated by an image acquisition device during a spray application by a nozzle positioned in a physical relationship with the planar light pattern such that spray particles emitted from the spray nozzle pass through the planar light pattern while an initial image is acquired by the image acquisition device.
