Abstract: A method improves focus height repeatability in a machine vision inspection system. A region of interest is defined within a field of view imaged by a camera portion, wherein an aligned edge feature in the region of interest may introduce a focus height sensitivity that varies depending on the aligned edge feature offset relative to the image pixels. A first set of focus-determining operations determines a focus height for the region of interest, and comprise at least one of: (a) operations that reduce the sensitivity of the focus height determination to the offset of the aligned edge feature relative to the image pixels; and (b) operations that adjust the offset of the aligned edge feature relative to the image pixels according to a predetermined offset repeatability criteria, such that the image data used in the focus height determination fulfills the offset repeatability criteria.

Abstract: A workpiece inspection and defect detection system includes a light source configuration, a lens configuration, and a camera configuration for imaging workpieces. The system acquires training and run mode workpiece images for acquiring corresponding sets of training and run mode workpiece image data. Each set of image data includes at least first and second color channel workpiece image data corresponding to first and second color channels (e.g., for which ratios between the first and second color channel workpiece image data may be determined as part of synthetic image data to improve the ability of the system to detect defects). The defect detection portion is trained based at least in part on the image data, and is utilized to perform analysis to determine defect images that include workpieces with defects (e.g., for which metrology operations may be performed for measuring dimensions of defects, etc.).

Abstract: A system for providing an automatically focused image comprises an imaging system including a high speed periodically modulated variable focal length (VFL) lens, a VFL lens controller, a VFL-projected light source, a focus determining portion, an exposure timing adjustment circuit, and an exposure strobe time controller. The focus determining portion comprises an optical detector that inputs reflected VFL-projected light that is projected to, and reflected from, a workpiece through the VFL lens, and provides a focus deviation signal. The exposure timing adjustment circuit provides an exposure timing adjustment signal based on the focus deviation signal, which indicates a time when the imaging system focus Z-height approximately coincides with the workpiece surface Z height. The exposure strobe time controller uses the exposure timing adjustment signal to adjust the image exposure time so the imaging system focus Z-height coincides with the workpiece surface Z height at the adjusted image exposure time.

Abstract: A method for controlling a structured illumination pattern generating portion is provided for illuminating a workpiece during an image acquisition by a camera in a precision machine vision inspection system. A controllable spatial light modulator (e.g., a digital light processing projector) is part of the generating portion for generating the structured illumination pattern. The pattern may comprise an array of stripes including a sinusoidal gray level intensity variation across each stripe. An overall image exposure is increased by repeating a complete structured illumination pattern generation iteration, including gray level variation, a plurality of times during an image integration period. Structured illumination microscopy techniques for determining a workpiece surface profile may benefit, wherein multiple (e.g., 3 or 4) images are acquired at respective focus positions to be analyzed, by using the method to project a different phase of a structured light pattern for each of the multiple images.

Abstract: An image acquisition system is operated to provide an image that is relatively free of the effect of longitudinal chromatic aberration. The system includes a variable focal length lens (e.g., a tunable acoustic gradient index of refraction lens) that is operated to periodically modulate a focus position. First, second, third, etc., wavelength image exposure contributions are provided by operating an illumination system to provide instances of strobed illumination of first, second, third, etc., wavelengths (e.g., green, blue, red, etc.) timed to correspond with respective phase timings of the periodically modulated focus position which focus the respective wavelength image exposure contributions at the same focus plane. The respective phase timings of the periodically modulated focus position compensate for longitudinal chromatic aberration of at least the variable focal length lens. An image is produced that is relatively free of the effect of longitudinal chromatic aberration by combining the image exposure contributions.
