Identifying Resolution of Imaging Systems Resolution is a measurement of an imaging system’s ability to resolve the object which is be imaged. Test targets are typically tools that are used to check the resolution of an imaging system. The most popular targets consist of “groups” of 6 “elements” and each element consists of three horizontal […]
Read moreFor storage and transmission of large image files it is desirable to reduce the file size. For consumer-grade images this is achieved by lossy image compression when image details not very noticeable to humans are discarded. However, for scientific images discarding any image details may not be acceptable. Still, all the images, except completely random […]
Read moreImage Analysis of a 3D Image Several manufacturers sell 3D cameras which use 2D sensor arrays sensitive to the phase of reflected laser light. All of them spread laser light so that it permanently illuminates the complete scene of interest. Laser light is modulated synchronously with the pixel sensitivity. The phase of reflected laser light, […]
Read moreLet’s look at the transportation industry-based case of extensive image processing. Two video cameras were looking at the boxes moving fast on the conveyor belt. To provide high enough image resolution the cameras were placed close to the belt but they could not cover all the belt cross-section. They were placed on the sides of […]
