Overview: Image Acquisition and Illumination

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Industrial Image Processing

Abstract

In the previous chapters we have encountered a number of ways to process digital images, to recognize objects therein and to evaluate them. So far, however, we have not explained how the digital image is acquired whose properties and quality are of the utmost importance in solving an image processing task.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Named after Bryce E. Bayer, who developed this pattern in 1976 at the Eastman Kodak Company (Rochester, NY, USA).

  2. 2.

    Prerequisite is that the relative motion takes place in a 90° angle to the sensor line. Usually, this makes sense.

  3. 3.

    There is another obvious limitation: objects inside the focal length of the lens cannot be sharply imaged at all because their marginal rays diverge behind the lens. The image distance in Eq. (8.7) would become negative.
