    摘要: A method characterizes field of view (FOV) distortion and may correct machine vision measurements accordingly. A plurality of distorted images are acquired, with the same calibration target at a plurality of spaced-apart locations within the FOV. The method analyzes the images and determines distortion parameters that can correct the distortions in the images such that features included in the calibration target pattern achieve a sufficient or optimum degree of congruence between the various images. Distortion parameters may be determined for each optical configuration (e.g., lens combination, magnification, etc.) that is used by a machine vision inspection system. The distortion parameters may then be used to correct FOV distortion errors in subsequent inspection and measurement operations.

    摘要: A hand-size structured-light three-dimensional metrology imaging system and method. Laser illumination stripes are scanned across a workpiece surface for obtaining z-height and x-coordinate information. A Scheimpflug configuration is used. Utilizing this configuration, a laser illumination stripe across a raised workpiece portion will be shown in a contour image at the image sensor in a focused manner, such that the offsets along the contour image line due to the raised portions of the workpiece surface can be accurately converted to a z-height measurement. The y-axis positions associated with each of the contour images, used for reassembling the information from the contour images into a surface map for the workpiece, may be determined without the need for a position sensor, by including a reference object in the contour images.

    摘要: A reference mark configuration for an interferometric miniature grating encoder readhead using fiber optic receiver channels is provided. The readhead includes primary fibers that provide reference mark primary signals processed to generate a reference signal with accuracy of approximately 0.2 microns. The readhead may include secondary fibers used to generate reference mark secondary signals processed to generate a reference signal with accuracy of approximately 20 nanometers. Spatial filter masks configured for the secondary fiber optic receiver channels provide two spatially periodic secondary signals arising from interference fringes outside of the receiving area of the primary fiber optic receiver channels. The secondary signals are out of phase with one another and their spatial frequency is higher than that of the primary signals. A signal crossing of the reference mark secondary signals is identified that is spatially adjacent to a signal crossing of the reference mark primary reference signals.

    摘要: A position sensor using a novel structured light generating scale or target member is provided. An imaging array is capable of measuring the relative translation and orientation of the structured light generating scale or target member in X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch, and roll (“6D”) simultaneously, and with high precision. The target member includes an array of lenses that provide an array of structured light patterns that diverge, converge, or both, to change the size of the corresponding structured light image as a function of the “Z” coordinate of the relative position, in various embodiments. The X-Y position of each individual structured light image on the imaging array varies with the relative X-Y position of the structured light generating target member, and the shape of structured light image changes as a function of the relative angular orientation. Accordingly, three or more structured light images analyzed in the same image are usable to determine a 6D measurement between the structured light generating target member and the array detector. X and Y displacement of the target member can be accumulated by known methods and the other 6D measurement components are absolute measurements at any position.

    摘要: A position sensor using a novel optical path array (OPA) element, an angle-selective spatial filter, and an imaging array is capable of measuring the translation and orientation relative to a target member in X, Y, Z, yaw, pitch, and roll (“6D”) simultaneously, and with high precision. A target member includes an array of target points surrounded by a contrasting surface. The position sensor uses the OPA element in combination with the angle-selective spatial filter in a target point imaging arrangement such that the imaging array of the position sensor only receives light rays that enter the OPA element according to an operable cone angle α. Accordingly, each target point generally produces a ring-shaped image having a size on the imaging array that varies with the Z position of each target point. The X-Y position of each target point image on the imaging array varies with the X-Y position of each target point. Accordingly, three or more target point images analyzed in the same image are usable to determine a 6D measurement relative to the target member. X and Y displacement of the target member can be accumulated by known methods and the other 6D measurement components are absolute measurements at any position.
