摘要:
An imaging system, methodology, and various applications are provided to facilitate optical imaging performance. The system includes a sensor having one or more receptors and an image transfer medium to scale the sensor and receptors in accordance with resolvable characteristics of the medium. A computer, memory, and/or display associated with the sensor provides storage and/or display of information relating to output from the receptors to produce and/or process an image, wherein a plurality of illumination sources can also be utilized in conjunction with the image transfer medium. The image transfer medium can be configured as a k-space filter that correlates a pitch associated with the receptors to a diffraction-limited spot associated with the image transfer medium, wherein the pitch can be unit-mapped to about the size of the diffraction-limited spot.

A video inspection system is provided wherein light from a light source is directed through a field lens. The field lens directs the incident light first in the direction of an object under inspection and then, after reflecting from said object, redirecting the reflected light toward the aperture of an imaging lens/camera assembly. This redirection technique results in magnification of selected regions of the object.

A system for detecting a side wall perforation in containers operates non-invasively and at line speeds. A stream of similar containers are communicated to an inspection area. An exterior of each container is illuminated while the container is in the inspection area. Light from an interior of the container is focused, via a lens, to a video camera. Any perforate flaw in the container walls results in a point source of light in the container interior. Since the perforations are relatively small, the point source is created due to diffractive properties of the slit perforation. These diffractive properties facilitate obtaining an image of the flaw from the camera disposed to the interior of the container when the camera is mounted orthogonally to the perforation or parallel to the wall being inspected. In an other embodiment, the relative positions of the light source and camera are interchanged. A method for container inspection is also provided in connection with the afore-noted structure.

A substantially isotropic illumination source utilizes a generally spherical, translucent diffuser. The spherical diffuser has an inner wall and a diffusive outer wall. Light is communicated inwardly to the sphere along a first hemisphere. Light is diffused and homogenized by internal reflection within the sphere and communicated outwardly through a complimentary hemisphere. This light, upon being diffused by the external or outer wall is substantially isotropic. The isotropic light so generated is utilized for video inspection of translucent specimens with improved contrast to facilitate detection of flaws therein. Another aspect utilizes a specimen itself as the isotropic diffuser.

An imaging system, methodology, and various applications are provided to facilitate optical imaging performance. The system contains a sensor having one or more receptors and an image transfer medium to scale the sensor and receptors in accordance with resolvable characteristics of the medium, and as defined with certain ratios. A computer, memory, and/or display associated with the sensor provides storage and/or display of information relating to output from the receptors to produce and/or process an image, wherein a plurality of illumination sources can also be utilized in conjunction with the image transfer medium. The image transfer medium can be configured as a k-space filter that correlates projected receptor size to a diffraction-limited spot associated with the image transfer medium, wherein the projected receptor size can be unit-mapped within a certain ratio to the size of the diffraction-limited spot, both in the object plane.

Present novel and non-trivial optical, laser-based measuring systems and method are disclosed. An optical, laser-based, or LIDAR measuring apparatus is comprised of a radiation receiver/transmitter, a beam-forming optical element, a beam steering device comprised of a deviation optical element and at least one actuator used to steer the deviation optical element in response to drive signal(s) from a processor. A method employed by the system may be comprised of the receiver/transmitter receiving a transmitter signal from the processor and transmitting promulgated radiation; the beam-forming optical element receiving the promulgated radiation and forming a beam of radiation; the deviation optical element receiving the beam of radiation, diverting a beam of radiation, receiving a reflected signal, and diverting the reflected signal; the beam-forming optical element receiving the diverted signal, forming a converging reflected signal, and directing the converging reflected signal to the radiation receiver/transmitter which receives the converging reflected signal.
