Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying an interchangeable lens in a vision system having a controllable light source, a camera, and the lens to be identified. Light provided by the light source is transferred to the camera by the lens to be identified. The amount of light transferred to the camera for a particular reference configuration of the vision system depends distinguishably on the characteristics of the lens to be identified. A camera output is measured for a desired light source setting and the desired light source setting and associated measured camera output are compared with stored lens identification calibration data. The stored lens identification calibration data is obtained by measuring the camera output for a plurality of lenses using a plurality of light source settings. In various exemplary embodiments, the light transferred from the light source to the camera is reflected and/or backscattered light from the lens to be identified.

Abstract: An integrated imaging element for an interferometer generates at least one interference image that includes multiple interference portions with different relative phase shifts interleaved in a pattern having a high spatial frequency in the image. The interleaved pattern is at least partially determined by the pattern of a high density relative retarder array used in the integrated imaging element. In various embodiments, the multiple interference portions are interleaved in a checkerboard-like pattern across the entire surface of a detector device. As a result, various non-common mode errors present in various interferometers that generate separate non-interleaved images for each relative phase are reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: A method is provided for converting joystick deflection into a speed of relative motion between a image system and a workpiece stage in a computer vision system. The conversion of joystick deflection into speed may be described in terms of a speed/deflection profile that corresponds a present lens characteristics of the system. In one embodiment, the speed/deflection response of the system depends relatively strongly on the present lens characteristic at relatively lower deflections and depends on relatively weakly on the present lens characteristic as the deflection approaches a maximum deflection. The system is advantageous in that, for any lens used, it maintains consistent ergonomic and visual feel at small joystick deflections which typically occur during ostensible precision maneuvers, but is also able to provide fast long-range traverses for large joystick deflections.

Abstract: After preparatory measurement of a calibration reference with a scanning probe is performed, apart program for measuring the calibration reference is generated and executed so as to perform calibration measurement. After a calibration value of a coordinate transformation function and reference coordinates of the calibration reference are obtained, a new part program for measuring the calibration reference again is generated by use of the calibration value and the reference transformation coordinates and the part program is executed to perform calibration measurement. Accordingly, the calibration value of the coordinate transformation function and the reference coordinates of the calibration reference can be obtained with higher accuracy.
