High-Resolution Camera Link Image Acquisition and Pre-Processing
for Color LINE-SCAN Inspection
|
|
|
|
The Grablink Quickpack ColorScan provides on its FPGA the accelerated image pre-processing
functions necessary for color scanning applications. Color document scanning or PCB inspections
are then considerably eased and accelerated providing on the fly enhanced images ready for further processing.

Image Pre-Processing Functions Accelerated by the FPGA
|
|
|
|
Scan-delay compensation
|
|
A trilinear color camera captures the luminance information at three light wavelength
ranges from three distinct locations. A gap between these lines analyzed in red, green
and blue is resulting due to the sensor geometry and the optical arrangement. The scan-delay
compensation offered in the Grablink Quickpack ColorScan gathers the color information coming
from three different locations in order to reconstruct consistent RGB information.
|
|
|
|
|
On the fly shading correction on the three color components
|
|
After the calibration phase, the six profiles are compiled into the frame grabber hardware
to correct the distortions. This correction is handled applying a multiplicative -gain-
and an additive -offset- correction to each pixel issued in the scanned signal.
This processing drastically improves the quality of the acquired images facilitating the application processing.

|
|
|
Three 8-bit x 8-bit Look-up Table Transformer for the R the G and the B components
|
|
They include the following setup methods: exhaustive definition of the transformation law,
parametric shaping of the transformation law through a few intuitive controls, white balance by
RGB gain correction implemented as special transformation laws.
|
|
|
|
White balance correcting for RGB channel imbalance
|
|
This imbalance can be due to differences in sensitivity of sensors, to the illumination system
and to the optical filter. After calibration, a correcting gain is applied to each color channel
to compensate for unbalanced R, G and B components.

Support of Base configuration for RGB LINE-SCAN camera
|
|
Two kinds of RGB imagers are supported: trilinear and 3-CCD.
Only RGB single-tap with Base_1T24 tap configuration is supported.
|
|
Downweb resampling feature for shutter-less camerasa
|
|
Most high-resolution color line-scan cameras have no electronic shutter capability.
Consequently, they have to be operated at a constant cycling rate in order to maintain
a constant sensitivity. The Grablink Quickpack ColorScan implements a unique downweb
resampling feature yielding a defined aspect ratio irrespective of web speed variations.
A built-in rate converter accommodates an off-the-shelf motion encoder to control the line
acquisition process, enabling any programmable aspect ratio, including perfect square pixels.
