CCD line scan cameras are semiconductor
cameras with one photosensitive line only. They
are used mainly for industrial applications. Line
scan cameras are used directly for determi-
nation of one-dimensional measures, e.g. width
of a gap, or in combination with a scanning
motion for acquisition of two-dimensional
images as, e.g. in fax machines and scanners.
Advantages of CCD line scan cameras such as
high optical resolution, high speed, and free
synchronization to individual line scans offer a
large variety of applications in opto-sensors
and measurement technology.
A selection of one- and two-dimensional appli-
cations is shown in the box below.
Exposure means illuminance of the line scan
sensor for a set time period. The light sensitive
elements of the sensor transform radiation into
free charges. The time period of accumulation
of these charges during one exposure is called
integration time. The sensor is read out by
scrolling out the accumulated charges pixel-
by-pixel by means of a shift register. In contin-
uous mode, the next exposure is started at the
time of read-out of the previous exposure. The
charges accumulated at each camera pixel are
transformed in voltage values for further
conditioning.
Today Schfter+Kirchhoff offers mainly digital
line scan cameras. In digital cameras the line
scan signal is digitized with 8 or 12 bit resolution
on the camera board directly. Some analog line
scan cameras provide downward compatibili-
ty. Digital CCD line scan cameras are provided
with GigE Vision
TM
, LVDS, CameraLink

, or
USB2.0 interface.
Schfter+Kirchhoff now also supports the latest
industrial standard, the GigE Vision
TM
interface. Scalability, flexibility, cable length up
to 100 m, and last but not least the availability
of competitive cables for network engineering
makes the GigE Vision
TM
standard interesting
for automation technology.
Cameras with LVDS interface are operated
with the Schfter+Kirchhoff line scan grabber
SK9192D with PCI bus especially developed for
line scan cameras.
Signal processing such as run-length enco-
ding, thresholding, windowing, and shading
correction are performed on-board and there-
fore do not need additional computing time. In
combination with the Schfter+Kirchhoff merg-
er box, multiple CCD line scan cameras are op-
erated line-synchronously with a single line
scan grabber.
Cameras with CameraLink

interface fit
seamlessly into systems where CameraLink

grabber is already used.


Cameras with USB2.0 interface are the prime
choice for mobile applications or for appli-
cations with changing PCs, e.g. mobile
measurement systems or educational experi-
ments operated by a notebook.
A tabular overview of properties and connec-
tion possibilities of the different interfaces is
given on page 9.

The optical resolution of a line scan camera is
given by the number of pixels (picture
elements), the photosensitive elements of the
line sensor. Line scan cameras with up to 12000
pixels are available. In case of a scanning
motion, the resolution perpendicular to the line
scan camera is determined by the velocity of
scan and by the line scan frequency, i.e. by the
number of line scans per second. With line scan
cameras, substantially higher resolutions are
reached compared to conventional CCIR video
cameras. In case of drum-supplied material and
belt conveyors etc., line scan cameras offer the
additional capability of continuous endless im-
age acquisition.
The pixel frequency is the rate at which the free
charges are read out of the sensor. The
maximum pixel frequency is limited by the
individual sensor. The maximum pixel frequen-
cy determines, combined with the number of
pixels (plus a sensor-dependant number of
passive pixels), the minimum time required for
the read-out of a whole line scan the minimum
exposure period.
The reciprocal minimum exposure period is the
maximum line frequency.
At cameras with integration control function the
integration time within a exposure period can
be truncated (shutter).
The maximum pixel and maximum line scan fre-
quencies of the cameras available are shown in
the synoptical table on pages 10 and 11.

Color cameras
series ..KOC and
..JRC
Color sensor with
RGB sensitivity. In
case of need the
sensitivity of the ca-
mera is confined to
the visible spectral range 400 - 700 nm by use
of a UV/IR blocking filter (see page 40).
Schfter+Kirchhoff provides more than 50 dif-
ferent line scan cameras with black&white sen-
sors or with color sensors. The large variety of
cameras offers an appropriate line scan cam-
era for all measuring tasks. An overview of line
scan cameras available and their technical data
is shown in the synoptical table on pages 10
and 11. In addition to the criteria already noted,
i.e. number of pixels, maximum line scan fre-
quency, and type of interface, there are selec-
tion criteria such as:
Anti-blooming: Without anti-blooming sa-
turated pixels, which can not accumulate
additional charges, transfer surplaus
charges, in case of further illumination, to
neighboring pixels. Bright, overexposed re-
gions of the line scan signal are broadened.
Cameras with anti-blooming function drain
the charge excess (see below).
Integration control: Without integration con-
trol the line scan frequency determines the
exposure time: while charges of a finished line
scan are read out, the next line scan is
exposed. The minimum exposure time is
attained at maximum line scan frequency.
Integration control corresponds to the func-
tion of a shutter. The accumulation of charges
is truncated previous to the finish of the line
scan period. In case of high light intensities,
over-exposures are avoided.
Dynamic range and digitalization depth:
Depending on the sensor used, line scan
cameras are distinguished in their dynamic
range (signal to noise ratio). Some of the
digital line scan cameras can be operated
alternatively with 8 bit or 12 bit digitalization
depth (in 12 bit mode two bytes are used per
pixel, the maximum line scan frequency is
halved).
Remote gain-/offset control: Many
cameras offer the capability of a software
controlled setting of signal amplification on
the camera side. This is mainly useful for bal-
ancing multiple line-synchronized line scan
cameras (e.g. using a merger box, see page
22). At cameras without remote gain /offset
control the internal camera signal amplifica-
tion can be adjusted by a potentiometer at
the camera housing.
Spectral sensitivity: Especially in case of
laser-based measurement systems, the
spectral sensitivity of the line scan camera
has to be accounted for (see below).
Comprehensive software assistance is avail-
able for the start-up of cameras and the deve-
lopment of user software. The operating soft-
ware SkLineScan allows for a rapid start-up of
the line scan camera systems. The oscillo-
scopic display of line scan signals is an ideal
tool for adjustment of the line scan camera and
for alignment of the optics (see page 6). With
the SkLineScan software all imaging parame-
ters can be set and their effect on the camera
signal can be evaluated immediately. Acquisi-
tion of two-dimensional images is possible in
free-run mode or synchronized externally.
For the development of user software,
Schfter+Kirchhoff offers SDKs with DLLs and
C++ class libraries for LVDS, GigE Vision and
USB2.0 cameras.
Supported are the Windows

operation
systems XP/2000/NT. For LVDS and USB2.0
systems, Linux

driver and tools are available


(GigE Vision
TM
projected).
In case of LVDS and analog cameras, down-
ward compatibility to older Windows

versions
and to DOS is maintained by software.
For software development with LabView

a
VI-library is available. For developing user soft-
ware for CameraLink

systems the software


development kit (SDK) of the grabber producer
is utilized.
Detailed information for software support is
given on pages 8 as well as on page 13 (GigE
Vision
TM
), page 15 (USB 2.0), page 17 (Camera-
Link), and pages 24 - 25 (LVDS).

Depending on the active sensor length and on
the magnification used, different types of lenses
are used:
The table on page 10 and 11 gives a general
idea of appropriate lenses. More details, tech-
nical data and formulas for lens selection are
given on pages 37 to 40.
Besides lenses, focus adapters and extension
rings are offered.
If desired, we assist prospective customers in
their selection of optics. In most cases, few
parameters of the measuring task are sufficient
for recommending the most suitable optical
system.
The range of line scan cameras made by
Schfter+ Kirchhoff is completed by com-
prehensive industry-suitable mounting ac-
cessories, e.g. filters and illumination optics as
well as cables and power supplies.
Pixels which are saturated caused by over-
exposure, i.e. cannot accumulate more
charges, partly transfer their charges to neigh-
boring pixels. This effect is called blooming.
Blooming leads to corruption of the
geometrical mapping between signal and
image on the line sensor.
CCD line scan cameras with anti-blooming
sensor drain the charge surplus in case of over-
exposure via a drain gate. Neighboring, less
exposed pixels are not filled any more.
Depending on pixel frequency and spectral
range, overexposures up to a factor of 30 can
be drained.

meras w/o anti-blooming.
Extreme over-exposure floods the dark
pixels of the sensor. The cameras offset
control is disturbed. The line scan ca-
mera yields a lowered signal.

Start-up of CCD Line Scan Camera Systems
System adjustment with oscilloscopic display
Aperture setting and integration time
The sensor of a CCD line scan camera is one-
dimensional. The image of a CCD line scan
camera is made up of a single line and rep-
resents the brightness profile of an object
line imaged to the sensor line. The oscillo-
scopic display plots the digitized brightness
profile versus the sensor length in a x/y-plot
with high refresh rate. The y-axis represents
the signal intensity and the x-axis the sen-
sor pixels. The scaling of the y-axis depends
on the resolution of the A/D converter at 8
bit the scale covers 0 to 255, at 12 bit the
scale covers 0 to 4095. The scaling of the x-
axis corresponds to the pixel number in the
line sensor.
The oscilloscopic diagram of the line scan
camera is an ideal tool for tasks such as the
adjustment of the lens aperture and integra-
tion time, for focusing the image, evaluation
of the object illumination, and aligning the
line scan camera. Due to a high refresh rate
changes in the optical system and of the
camera settings are visible immediately.
In case of sensor lengths with up to 12000
pixels, details in the signal plot are only visi-
ble with a powerful zoom function. Magnifi-
cation of one or several signal sections
allows for a pixel-specific evaluation of the
line scan signal (see figure at the right).
The oscilloscopic display as well as the easy
to handle zoom function are integrated in the
line scan camera operating software SkLine-
Scan made by Schfter+Kirchhoff. Dialog
boxes for camera parameter settings allow
for an interactive adjustment of the CCD line
scan camera.
SkLineScan is part of the software package
available as versions for GigE Vision
TM
,
LVDS, USB 2.0, and CameraLink line scan
cameras (see pages 8).
The strength of the line scan signal is ad-
justed ideally, when in the brightest region of
the object the corresponding signal equals
approx. 95 % of the maximum signal. In this
case, all available gray values (255 at 8 bit
digitizing, 4096 at 12 bit digitizing) are used
to full capacity and overexposure is avoided
as well.
The intensity distribution of the line scan
signal is affected by the illumination inten-
sity, by the aperture setting, and the camera
integration time. Beside the intensity, the
aperture setting influences the depth of field
and the quality of the image.
In case of a large F-number (small aperture),
the intensity is small and the depth of field
large. In case of small F-number (large aper-
ture) the intensity is large and the depth of
field is small, see page 39, formula F8 and
F9.
In most cases best imaging quality is
reached by closing the lens aperture by one
or two steps, see page 39, F11.
Integration time and signal intensity:
Insufficient gain of the camera signal. The set integration time is too short.
Only about 130 of the 255 gray values available are used.
Good gain of the camera signal by increasing the integration time .
The maximum signal peak uses about 95% of the gray values available.

Shading correction and white balance
Sensor Alignment
Lens focusing with the oscilloscopic signal plot
All lenses show vignetting, which depends on
the angle of field (see page 39, F10). Hence,
even with homogeneous object illumination the
imaged intensity decreases with increasing im-
age height.
Shading correction (or flat field compensation)
is used to compensate for lens vignetting as
well as for inhomogeneity of the illumination.
For this purpose the object is temporarily
covered by a homogeneous white calibration
target. At initialization the shading correction
determines a gain for each individual pixel,
scaling each value to a normalized maximum
signal. Accordingly, the oscilloscopic display
shows a homogeneous intensity distribution
along the entire line sensor.
In case of color line scan cameras, the shading
correction is used additionally for white
balancing. The different sensitivities of the
sensors individual color channels are
compensated for as well as inhomogeneous
colors of the illumination.
In the SkLineScan software, functions for
shading correction and white balance are avai-
lable for the user.
For software engineers, library functions for
shading correction and for white balance are
available in the SDKs for all interface systems.
To focus a line scan camera system, in principle
the oscilloscopic display is used, even in case
of two-dimensional measurement tasks. To
evaluate the focus, the edge steepness at dark-
bright transitions and the modulation of the line
scan signal are used (see figure on the right).
Focusing is performed with completely opened
aperture, in this case the depth of field is small
and the sensitivity of focus with change of focus
setting large. If necessary, the signal amplitude
has to be trimmed, e.g. by shortening the inte-
gration time.

In case of line-shaped illumination, rotating the
line sensor results in asymmetric vignetting.
While monitoring the object illumination with
the oscilloscopic display, camera and illumina-
tion optics are aligned to each other properly.

All software products by Schfter+Kirchhoff include the software
SkLineScan, with control and display functions particularly designed for
line scan cameras. A substantial characteristic is the oscilloscopic dis-
play of the line scan camera signal. With high repetition rate, the
intensity is displayed against the pixels in an x-y-plot. Changes of the
optical system (focus, aperture stop) as well as the camera parameters
(average time) become immediately visible. The program is an impor-
tant tool for start-up and adjustment of the line scan camera system.
The graphical user interface of the program is identical with all interface
systems. For CameraLink line scan cameras the SkLineScan program
is available for selected grabbers *).

SDK for line scan cameras (GigE, USB, LVDS)
Sample programs in C/C++
Configuration tool for CameraLink cameras (page17)
Operating systems Windows XP/2000, Linux
Software development kit (SDK)
For programming the line scan cameras
and developing user applications,
Schfter+Kirchhoff supplies
an SDK for line scan cameras
with GigE, USB 2.0, and
LVDS interface. For line
scan cameras with Cam-
eraLink interfaces, the
SDK of the grabber manu-
facturer*) has to be used.
The SDK contains the class
library Csk for C++ as well as
API DLLs. The function names are
to a large extent alike between the dif-
ferent interface systems, so that porting between the systems is easily
possible. The provided sample programs in C/C++ can be used as tem-
plates for the development of own applications. Source comments and
a manual facilitate the programming of the cameras.
Functions in the SkLineScan program
VI library for LabVIEW, NI Vision integration
An extensive VI library supports the control of line cameras with GigE,
USB 2.0 and LVDS interface under LabVIEW. With a few clicks a line
scan camera application can be built. For use of the VI library, the
respective driver is required.
For signal and image processing, the VIs and/or routines of the NI Vision
software can be integrated in line scan camera applications.

CCD-Line Scan Camera with Vision Interface
The standard GigE Vision uses the large bandwidth of the Gigabit Ethernet of 1000 Mbit/s for
a fast and secure transfer of video and control data between camera and PC. Transfer distances
up to 100 m are possible. Data acquisition is performed in the PC or in a laptop. An additional
frame grabber is not required. All GigE Vision line scan cameras made by Schfter+Kirchhoff
can be synchronized externally.
In multi-cast mode, networking of several cameras and distribution of image data to several net-
worked computers offers a large variety of new possibilities for industrial imaging processing.
The capability of Gigabit Ethernet and the use of low-priced and commonly used network com-
ponents make the GigE Vision standard very interesting for the industrial image acquisition
and automation.

The software package
SK91GigE-WIN for Win-
dows XP/2000 includes
the SkLineScan soft-
ware for a rapid startup of
the GigE Vision camera,
the configuration tool
SKGigEConfig, as well as
a software development
kit (SDK) with DLLs and
class libraries for deve-
lopment of application
software.
The SkLineScan soft-
ware automatically recog-
nizes the connected line scan cameras. The oscilloscopic display of the line scan signal with
zoom function is an important tool for aligning the optical system. Non-modal dialogs for the
control of integration time, gain and offset settings allow the online configuration of the camera.
The SDK with DLLs and a class library for C++ offers easy to handle methods for the develop-
ment of user software. Example codes and documented source codes of the operating programs
help getting started with programming.
1
With the configuration
program SkGigEconfig
the GigE line scan camera
parameters e.g. gain, off-
set, and pixel frequency
are adjusted by camera
commands. Furthermore
current parameters as
well as specific product
information can be read
out from the camera.
The parameter settings
are stored on the camera
board and remain valid for the next operation even after shut down.

LINE-SYNC Modi
intern Mod. 0: FreeRun. The camera board
internally controls the trigger point and the
exposure time of the line scan. After com-
pletion of the line scan the next scan is
started automatically.
extern Mod. 1: The line scan exposed at the
time of the external trigger is read out. Start
and time of exposure are controlled inter-
nally by the camera. The exposure time is
programmed before. The trigger clock does
not affect the exposure time.
extern Mod. 4: A new exposure ist started
exactly at the time of triggering. The expo-
sure time programmed is not affected by the
trigger clock.
Sync divider: Divides the external trigger
frequency by a programmed integer. Only
every n-th line is recorded.
FRAME-SYNC Mode
In addition, the GigE line scan cameras have
an external frame synchronization (FRAME-
SYNC) for synchronized acquisition of 2D
scans. The individual line scans are
synchronized internally or externally.
The camera suppresses the data transfer
until a falling edge of a TTL signal occurs at
FrameStart input. (controlled, e.g. by a light
barrier).
Not until then is the VideoValid set to ac-
tive and the entire image data transferred via
GigE to the PC memory.

Installation of the USB line scan camera
When connecting the USB line scan camera to
the PC or notebook for the first time, the hard-
ware manager requests the installation of a dri-
ver for the camera.
After inserting the CD SK91USB-WIN the
hardware assistant finds the driver by itself. The
camera is installed correctly when
Schaefter+Kirchhoff CCD Line Scan Cam-
era is registered in the hardware assistant in
the category device type USB Controller.

LabVIEW for USB Line Scan Cameras
LabVIEW VI library
and applications,
NI Vision support
The software packages SK91USB-WIN and
SK91USB-LXfor Windows XP/2000 and Linux,
respectively, include the SkLineScan

soft-
ware for instant startup of the USB line scan
camera, as well as a software development kit
(SDK). The SDK with DLLs and a class library
for C++ offers easy to handle methods for the
development of user applications.
The provided sample programs in C/C++ can
be used as templates for the development of
own applications. Source comments and a
manual facilitate the programming of the
cameras.
The SkLineScan Soft-
ware automatically re-
cognizes the connected
USB line scan cameras
and indicates the camera
type.
Oscilloscopic display:
Tool for the adjustment of
focus and aperture, as
well as for evaluating the
field flattening of the lens
and the orientation of il-
lumination and sensor.
Zoom function:
For the display of each in-
dividual pixel.
Online camera parameter

USB camera control:
Integration time control,

Control of camera gain
and offset.

With USB line scan cameras, the continuous
acquisition and evaluation of scans is limited,
since the data transfer via the USB bus requires
approx. 16% CPU load.
Mode 0: Free-Run. After completion of the
line scan the next scan is started automa-
tically.
Mode 1: External synchronization. At the
time of an external trigger, readout of the line
scan previously exposed is performed. Start
and time of exposure are controlled inter-
nally by the camera. The trigger clock does
not affect the exposure time.
Mode 3: The camera exposure is started by
a software operation.
Mode 4: The exposure period starts exact-
ly with a falling edge of the TTL signal. The
trigger clock does not affect the exposure
time.

CameraLink is a standardized interface for the industrial image acquisition and designed for fast
data transmission. To control line scan cameras made by Schfter+Kirchhoff, any frame grab-
ber is suitable, as long as it complies with the CameraLink standard in the base configuration.
Camera and grabber are connected with a standardized cable with MDR26-plug connector. The
camera is configured with the SkCLconfig tool.

Digital monochrome line scan cameras with 512 to 12000 pixels per line and
with 8 bit or 12 bit resolution. Data transmission is realized with a maximum
data rate of 60 MHz. The cameras are primarily equipped with anti-blooming and integration
control function.
Digital b/w line scan cameras with TDI sensors. The sensors are working at 4096
pixels per line, and 96 stages. The resolution of the video signal amounts to 8
bit, the maximum data rate reaches 60 MHz. The cameras are characterized
by their anti-blooming feature and a very high dynamic range. Due to their
working principle, the TDI cameras have a sensitivity nearly 100 times higher
compared to conventional line scan cameras.
Digital color line scan cameras with 3 x 2096 pixels per line (RGB)
and with 8 bit or 12 bit resolution. Data transmission is performed
at a max. data rate of 60 MHz. The camera is equipped with integration control.

For the camera operation and development of application software, the software development
kit (SDK) of the grabber manufacturer has to be used. Generally, common CameraLink grabbers
and their associated software are mainly designed for area cameras and do not support line scan
diagrams. For selected grabbers, Schfter+Kirchhoff supplies the operating program SkLineS-
can

with oscilloscopic display for plotting line scan signals with zoom function and for online
camera parameter setting in order to set up the optical system conveniently. Reference grabber:
National Instruments PCI-1428, CORECO X64-CL iPro, microEnable III, SiliconSoftware.
Oscilloscopic display:
Tool for the adjustment of
focus and aperture set-
ting, as well as for evalu-
ating the field flattening
of the lens. Zoom func-
tion for the display of
each individual pixel. Op-
tionally: Adaptation of
SkLineScan to other
CameraLink grabbers is
possible.

Configuration program SkCLconfig
Operating program SkLineScan,oscilloscopic display
Camera commands
With the configuration
program SkCLConfig by
Schfter+Kirchhoff, line
scan camera parameters,
e.g. gain, offset, and pixel
frequency, are adjusted
via serial interface of the
CameraLink interface.
For this the software uses
the clser***.dll, which is
attached to all Camera-
Link grabbers. In case the
program finds different
clser*.dll installed before,
the desired DLL is chosen
with select. The para-
meter settings are stored on camera board and remain valid for the next operation even after
shut down. The software SkCLConfig is included in the shipment of the camera.

CCD Line Scan Cameras with LVDS Interface
Data transmission with CCD line scan cameras with LDVS interface is executed based on the
standards of the Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS). Due to the low voltage level of 3.3 V,
line scan cameras with this interface keep a low power consumption even at high transmission
rates. Camera control and data transmission to PC are accomplished with a PC interface board
(PCI bus), which also manages the power supply of the line scan camera. A separate power sup-
ply unit is not necessary.
For the synchronous processing of several line scan cameras with one PC interface the merger
box SK9195 is used.
Digital monochrome line scan cameras with 512 to 12000 pixels per line and
with 8 bit or 12 bit resolution. Data transmission is realized with a maximum
data rate of 60 MHz. The cameras are primarily equipped with anti-blooming and integration
control function.
Digital b/w line scan cameras with TDI sensors. The sensors are working at 4096
pixels per line, and 96 stages. The resolution of the video signal amounts to 8
bit, the maximum data rate reaches 60 MHz. The cameras are characterized
by their anti-blooming feature and a very high dynamic range. Due to their
working principle, the TDI cameras have a sensitivity nearly 100 times higher
compared to conventional line scan cameras.
Digital color line scan cameras with 3 x 2096 pixels per line (RGB)
and with 8 bit or 12 bit resolution. Data transmission is performed
at a max. data rate of 60 MHz. The camera is equipped with integration control.

Board type
Line scan camera interface boards supply
the control signals and the supply voltages
for the operation of the CCD line scan ca-
meras. As interface between PC and camera
they transmit the line signals to the PC
memory and allow setting the parameters of
the camera (integration time, pixel frequen-
cy and line scan frequency, synchronization).
Special pre-processing functions on-board
accelerate the signal evaluation in the PC
(shading correction, windowing, threshol-
ding).
Library functions from the software package
SK91PCI-XXX*) and the operating software
SkLineScan support the programming of
the interface boards.
*)XXX = operating systems: WIN, LX (Linux)
Exposure period: The time in which the
charge carriers are read completely from the
shift register of the sensor (also exposure
time). The time interval is determined by two
successive SOS signals. The reciprocal value
is the horizontal frequency.
Integration time: Duration of the charge
accumulation on the sensor in an exposure
period. By inactive integration control func-
tion the integration time is equal to the expo-
sure time.
Integration control: In case of CCD line scan
cameras with integration control function the
integration time can be programmed shorter
than the exposure time (shutter operation).
The line frequency remains constant.
Exposure
FIFO memory in
kByte,
see table for size
SK 9192D. 32
CCD line scan camera interface boards
FIFO ( First In First Out ): On-board memory
for digitized camera signals. On PCI bus
boards it serves as a buffer during short-term
PCI bus overload. The FIFO sizes range from
32 to 256 kByte and are to be specified in the
order code of the interface board.
LINE-SYNC Modi
intern Mod. 0: Free-Run. The camera board
internally controls the trigger point and the
exposure time of the line scan. After com-
pletion of the line scan the next scan is star-
ted automatically (free-run).
extern Mod. 1: At the time of an external trig-
ger, the readout of the line scan previously
exposed is performed. Start and time of ex-
posure are controlled internally by the cam-
era. The exposure time is programmed be-
fore. The trigger clock does not affect the
exposure time.
extern Mod. 2: At the time of trigger, the cur-
rent exposure is aborted and a new exposure
period is started. The line exposed is read out
in the next cycle. Delays of up to 2 line cycles
are possible.
extern Mod. 4: Exactly at the time of trigger
a new exposure is started. Each line scan is
acquired (combines the advantages of mode
1+2, for integration control cameras only).
extern Mod. 3: The camera exposure is star-
ted by a software operation.
asynchron (ExtSOS): The exposure time is
determined independently from the interface
board setting by an external trigger. The com-
puter clock or an external TTL signal can be
used as time reference. Exposure times of
any length are possible.
The PC interface board generates the signals
for triggering an exposure. In free-run mode,
immediately after acquisition of one scan the
next scan is triggered. In case of external syn-
chronization the clock of an external TTL sig-
nal and the mode of synchronization selected
determines the time of data acquisition. The
LINE-SYNC modes are used for synchroniza-
tion of single line scans, the FRAME-SYNC trig-
gers a whole 2D scan.
FRAME-SYNC Mode
In addition, the digital interface boards have
an external frame synchronization (FRAME-
SYNC) for synchronized acquisition of 2D
scans with an arbitrary number of lines. The
individual line scans are synchronized inter-
nally in the free run mode (0) or externally
(mode 1 or 4).
The interface board suppresses the data
transfer until a falling edge of a TTL signal oc-
curs at FrameStart input. (controlled, e.g.
by a light barrier). Not until then is Video-
Valid set to active and the entire image data
are transferred via FIFO to the PC memory.

The video signal digitized by the camera is grabbed by the
interface board and transmitted to the PC memory. The
SkLineScan program displays the signals with 8 bit or 12 bit resolution. With an 8 bit resolu-
tion 256 gray scales are obtained. In the lower picture part the gray scaled line signal CCD is
illustrated, on top a zoomed part of the signal. With the zoom function each single pixel from
the complete measuring range can be displayed. Thus the image quality of the lens as well
as the proper illumination can be checked.
Gray scale processing
The interface boards support an adjustable signal threshold
(upper picture). Thresholding generates a binary signal. The
result of the operation is shown below: Signal smaller than threshold yields 0, otherwise 1.
Only if the signal reaches the threshold or falls below the threshold is a value stored in the
FIFO memory (RLE). Thereby the data volume per line is reduced and the measuring frequency
is increased. The complexity of edge position determination is reduced to masking of the
pixel addresses only.
Thresholding
The noise suppression logic, adjustable from n = 0 to 7 pixels
(see table), inhibits all threshold transitions which do not re-
main steady for at least n +1 pixels (e.g.: a setting on 3 pixels selects at least 4 pixel wide
transitions). The following application provides an example of this digital low-pass filtering
without reduction of the optical resolution: Checking of filter webs for holes too large in trans-
illumination, with digital suppression of the regular web structure, which is also imaged with
high resolution.
Noise suppression
This function compensates for a non-uniform illumination of
the line sensor as well as possibly different sensitivities of
the individual pixels. An individual amplification factor for each pixel is stored in a memory
module on the interface board. The color line scan cameras with sequential RGB signal uses
the shading correction for adjusting the different sensitivities for R, G and B (white level bal-
ance). Upper graph: before shading correction, lower graph: after shading correction.
Shading correction
The window function defines a freely programmable win-
dow (ROI) on the line sensor. Only the pixel information with-
in the window reaches the FIFO. Therefore, only these ranges have to be illuminated. The
Window function reduces the data volume and reduces the effort for line or picture evalua-
tion. LineValid is a special form of a window function on interface boards for digital line scan
cameras with LVDS interface. With LineValid the window is set precisely along the active pix-
els of the sensor.

Merger Box SK9195
The line scan signals of the attached digital CCD line scan cameras
are merged to a combined line scan signal. To the PC interface board,
the merger box appears as a virtual line scan camera with the
aggregated pixel numbers. The combined cameras are operated
synchronously and with identical exposure period. An individual
integration time adjustment of each camera is possible.
Parallel and synchronous data acquisition with several line scan
cameras (no multiplex operation).
Only one interface board is required by which costs and computer
resources are reduced.
Reduced programming efforts.
In operating mode 2: faster data acquisition. The line signals are
temporarily stored and transmitted to the PC interface board with
higher pixel frequency.

Fig. 2: Timing diagram. The line signals of the single cameras are
buffered and joined in the Merger Box (Timing diagram for operating
mode 1).
The line data of the connected cameras are stored temporarily and then
put out sequentially. Each line scan camera has a defined position with-
in the combined signal.
For processing the data the individual camera signals can be separat-
ed in the computer and assigned unambiguously. This applies for line-
wise as well as for the block-wise evaluation of the camera signals. For
the temporary storage of the line signal of each camera an 8 kByte
internal memory (FIFO) is available inside the merger box.
The FIFO size and the adjusted operating mode of the merger box
determine the maximum pixel number of each single camera and those
of the sum signal.
After adjusting the operation mode (ex Schfter+Kirchhoff or by the user)
the merger box configures itself. The type of the connected line scan
cameras is automatically identified. For the connection of more than
five line scan cameras several boxes can be cascaded.
A special extension connector (input of camera 5) can be configured al-
lowing all cameras of the first and of the cascaded merger boxes to be
exposed at the same time and thus a pixel-synchronous data acqui-
sition is also achieved with cascaded boxes.
An external power supply is necessary if the added power con-
sumption of all connected cameras exceeds the allowed power
supply values of the PC interface board.

Example: Connection of four 1024-pixel line scan cameras,
frequency divider 4.
All connected cameras operate with the pixel frequency specified by
the programmed pixel frequency of the PC interface board. The pixel
frequencies of the line scan cameras and the sum signal of the Merg-
er Box are identical. Data of camera 1 are directly transmitted to the
interface board, Subsequently the buffered data of the other cameras
follow (see example in fig. 5).
Line frequency of the sum signal
f =
The maximum line frequency is determined by the camera(s) with the
lowest tolerable pixel frequency and by the maximum pixel frequency
of the interface board.
Maximum pixel length
The maximum pixel length of the connected cameras as well as of the
sum signal, is limited by the capacity of the Merger Box memory.
For buffering the line signals as a standard each camera disposes of
8 kByte FIFO memory (optionally 16 or 32 kByte).
In operating mode 1 the signal of the first camera is not buffered, thus
the maximum pixel length of the sum signal Lmax with n connected
cameras (n 5) is
Lmax= (n-1) 8192 + (pixel length of camera 1)
The pixel length of the first camera is not limited by the existing FIFO
memory, to the other camera inputs line scan cameras with up to 8192
pixel each (with 8 bit video signal and 8 kByte FIFO memory) can be
connected
Attention: PC interface boards with full functional range (incl. Shading
Correction) can process line signals with a maximum length of 32768
pixel.

Operating modes of the Merger Box SK9195
The pixel frequency of the PC interface board determines the pixel
frequency of the Merger Box SK9195 (max. 40 MHz). At this speed the
sum signal of the Merger Box will transmit to the interface board. The
pixel frequency of the connected line scan cameras is determined by
the selected operating mode of the Merger Box.
In operating mode 1 all line scan cameras work with the programmed
pixel frequency of the PC interface board.
In operating mode 2 a frequency divider reduces the pixel frequency
of the cameras by a factor 2, 3 or 4.
The operating mode and the frequency divider are adjustable by a
jumper.

The connected cameras operate with half, a third, or fourth of the pro-
grammed pixel frequency of the PC interface. The signals of all cam-
eras are completely buffered and transmitted during the next line clock.
The sum signal arrives at the output of the Merger Box with a delay of
one exposure time (see example in fig. 6). An advantage of this oper-
ating mode is the possibility of connecting line scan cameras with a
lower pixel frequency specification to the Merger-Box and to transmit
the sum signal to the PC interface board with a pixel frequency two,
three or four times higher.
Line frequency of the sum signal
The line frequency f, equal for all cameras, with n cameras calculates:
f =
For efficient signal transmission, the usage of line scan cameras with
identical pixel lengths is appropriate.
Maximum pixel length
The maximum pixel length of the connectable line scan cameras in op-
erating mode 2 corresponds to the half FIFO length in bytes, e.g. 4096
pixel with a standard FIFO capacity of 8kByte. If a camera with a greater
pixel length is to be connected to one of the inputs of the merger box,
a version with 16 or 32 kByte, respectively, has to be selected.
The maximum length of the sum signal at the Merger Box output with
an 8 kByte FIFO memory calculates
Lmax = n x (FIFO in Bytes)/2 = n x 4096
n = number of cameras.

operation program
With the operating program the CCD line scan
camera system can be started immediately. The
oscilloscopic diagram of the signals instantly
shows changes of the optical system and the ope-
rating parameters.
Multi-window technique allows for a simultaneous
view of CCD line scan signals in gray value and
threshold operation, in full length, and in zoomed-
in sections.
During line scans the dialog window for the
operating parameters is permanently active, so
that changes are indicated immediately.
Exposure time:
This parameter is pro-
grammed by writing a
counter stop value (CS)
into a register of the in-
terface board. The mini-
mum CS value depends
on the number of sensor
pixels (active plus pas-
sive) and is calculated by
the driver. maximum CS
value is 1023. The expo-
sure time is
tE = (CS 64) / fP, with
fP = pixel frequency
(longer exposure by ex-
ternal SOS signal)
Synchronization
In mode 1, 2 or 4 the interface
board waits for an external
synchronization signal. In
mode 3, a line scan is trig-
gered per software instruc-
tion. At external SOS an ex-
ternal TTL signal controls the
exposure time of the camera.
In the Frame Sync mode a
2D scan will be triggered.

The vertical scroll bar in the
window changes the expo-
sure time. At cameras with
integration control (shutter) a
shorter integration time can
be set with the horizontal
scroll bar.
The pixel frequency is set
by selecting a radio button.
It should not exceed the
frequency indicated in the
data sheet of the CCD line
scan camera.
With SK9192D boards the
vertical slider serves for set-
ting the signal threshold val-
ue operation.

Shading correction
The SkLineScan

operation program controls the


shading correction automatically or manually.
Automatic mode: The program acquires some line
scans of a white calibration object. The averaged
pixel intensities are the reference for the shading
correction of the following scans. The shading cor-
rection scales the intensity of each pixel of the ref-
erence scan to 255 (8 bit resolution). Non-uniform
illumination as well as possibly different sensitivi-
ties are compensated (see figure 2b).
Manual mode: The user can set individual pixel
gains for the RGB lines of a color line sensor or for
odd/even pixel at b/w cameras.
The CCD line scan camera interface boards of
Schfter+Kirchhoff transport the digitized line
scan camera data in the busmaster DMA (direct
memory access) via the PCI bus directly in the
physical PC memory. Because Windows XP/2000/
NT are virtual operating systems, the user has no
direct memory access on the physical memory of
the PC.
The memory in the virtual address range, which
appears for the user as a cohesive memory, con-
sists in real terms of many distributed segments of
the physical memory of the PC, whose sizes and
positions are determined by the operating system
and are not known a-priori. The software driver of
Schfter+Kirchhoff determines these memory
areas and offers to the programmer comfortable
methods for the processing of camera data.
Data transfer
The data memory for a 2D-scan is reserved in the
user layer. Preparing the DMA process the SK driver
in the scatter/gather procedure determines all
physical memory segments of the image buffer and
internally (kernel layer) stores their address and size
in a table (memory descriptor list - MDL). The scan
process is finished if all MDL entries were
processed. Then the image is completely in the 2D-
scan buffer. The CPU is loaded with less than 4%.

DMA online operation
In DMA online operating mode a continuous phy-
sical memory is mapped into the virtual address
space. The user is assigned a virtual address by
the driver, with which he can access the data di-
rectly. Thus the DMA process is even more effi-
cient than the
scatter/ gather
process. The
CPU load is
lower than
1%. .
A limitation is
the size of the
physically connected memory. On system start, a
maximum of 4 MByte is assigned for DMA online
operations.
This method is suitable for continuous acquisition
and evaluation of line scan signals in small to medi-
um block sizes. The interface board operates as
sensor without temporal limit and writes cyclical-
ly into the DMA memory in a ring buffer process.
During acquisition the user is connected online
with the DMA process. After each filled block he
receives an event and can evaluate the recorded
DMA block with direct access to the data.

Special hardware functions of the PCI bus
interface boards made by Schfter+Kirchhoff
together with the SkLineScan

software offer
the user efficient solutions for realizing online
measuring tasks.
If more than two blocks are set up, a time delay
can be compensated for by the evaluation of a
block by faster processing of the following blocks.
For the continuous capture and evaluation of the
camera data there is no time limitation.
To assure the online processing of two blocks with-
out data leakage the data evaluation for one DMA
block must be completed with the exposure of n
CCD line scan signals.

The DMA busmaster ability of the CCD line
scan camera interfaces permits continuous
acquisition of camera data with a CPU load of less
then 1% . The CPU is free for other tasks such
as the evaluation of the camera data and control
of external devices. The data are written cyclically
into a physically connected memory area.
The DMA memory is divided into equally sized
blocks; the size is determined with a program-
mable number of lines n. The number of blocks is
at least two up to the number of lines in the DMA
memory, i.e., the smallest possible block size is
exactly one line.
While the interface board writes into a block, data
in other blocks can be processed. When a DMA
block is filled, an event and the virtual address of
the filled block are reported to the user.
With this virtual address the user can access the
camera data directly.

In the multi object concept of the SkLineScan

software, up to four data acquisition objects, each


having their own memory in the users range, can
be determined for each interface board. The size
of the memory areas can be different and in the
static operating mode can even have different
functional meanings .
For example:
A
of the CCD line scan signals. For this purpose a
large linear memory in the user area is split into
several objects.
The interface board writes repeatedly into these
memory areas. After each object the user receives
an event and can evaluate the data. But because
of the scatter/gather process the data acquisition
Parallel operation of several interface boards
In a PC up to 4 interface boards can be operated
in parallel, and can be synchronized mutually.
In the busmaster DMA the PCI bus interface trans-
fers the data immediately after their appearance in
the FIFO in double word blocks (= 4 pixels) into the
PC memory. Normally the FIFO will not overflow,
as the data transfer speed of 132 MByte/s is higher
than the pixel frequency of the CCD line scan
camera. If, however, several interface boards
operate parallel in one computer or the bus is busy
with other system activities, the FIFO can overflow,
and data can be lost. In a 2D-scan this leads to a
line displacement in an image. A FIFO-full-inter-
rupt will be triggered.

Analog line scan cameras emit video data as
analog voltage values. For processing the video
data in a PC, the analog video signal is trans-
ferred via cable to the PC interface board where
it is digitized. After pre-processing operations
on-board, the digitized data are transmitted to
the PC memory, where further handling takes
place.
1. Offset: Offset is adjusted with shaded sen-
sor. With the potentiometer the signal is
set to 0 Volt.
2. Gain: With the maximum output voltage
of the camera is specified. For this the sensor
is slightly overexposed, so that the limitation
becomes visible.
The maximum output voltage by default is set
to approx. 1.1 V or aligned with the input volt-
age range of the PC interface board by
Schfter+Kirchhoff.
The adjustment can be accomplished with help
of the oscilloscopic display of the SkLineScan
software. A

The Smart line scan camera SK2048IJR is a
stand-alone measuring system for measuring
widths and edge positions without connection
to a PC. The output of measuring data is done
via RS232 interface or analog. In addition, a
switching output indicates whether the mea-
sured width or edge position lies within a
previously defined range or not. Measured
values are read out via serial interface. The
analog output displays measuring data as volt-
age. The range maximum corresponds to a
voltage of 3.3 V. The camera starts with its
measuring task immediately after connection to
its power supply.

Line Scan Cameras with Time Delayed Integration
(TDI) technology have a sensitivity 96 times higher,
compared to conventional line scan cameras. Parti-
cularly in case of dim objects (e.g. wafer inspection with dark field
illumination) TDI cameras achieve significantly higher measure-
ment and scan velocities. The pre-condition for use of a TDI ca-
mera is the movement of the test object in a preferential direc-
tion at a defined velocity (see below).

The principle of TDI technology is based on the time delayed
multiple exposure of a moving object. The sensor is composed
of 96 CCD lines, arranged in parallel. At the end of each ex-
posure period the charges are shifted to the adjacent CCD line
(see fig. charge transfer). During the following exposure pe-
riods further charges are acquired and added to the already
existing charges, and their sum is again shifted to the next line.
Finally after 96 exposures the sum is put out as video signal.
Through an object movement synchronous (and parallel) to the
line-wise charge transfer, a 96-fold multiple exposure is actu-
ally achieved. After an exposure period, the object is hereby
moved far enough so that it is mapped trough the lens onto
the respective next sensor line, that is, where the charges from
the previous period were also transported.

Application TDI line scan cameras: dark field illumination
Dark field illumination
In industrial image processing, dark field illu-
mination is particularly used for examination of
highly reflecting surfaces.The light beam under
a flat angle of incidence hits the surface of the
test object. The beam is reflected and misses
the camera lens. With
an immaculate sur-
face the object
appears completely
dark. At surface irreg-
ularities, e.g. scratch-
es and cracks, but
dust, lint and dirt as
well, a small part of the
light is scattered dif-
fusely towards the
lens and is displayed on the sensor. Tiny irreg-
ularities can be detected scarcely under the res-

olution limit of the lens. Equally to the obser-
vation of a fixed star, the image is not com-
pletely sharp anymore, however the elucidation
in the image is still noticeable.
Image acquisition with dark field illumination at
reflecting surfaces is typically faint. Therefore
with conventional line scan cameras substan-
tially longer integration times have to be set,
compared to, for example, directed bright field
illumination (see page 34) or image acquisition
of a strongly vague reflecting object. This leads
to low horizontal line frequencies and low scan
velocity.
The highly sensitive TDI line scan cameras are
particular beneficial here. With the same illumi-
nation power considerably higher measuring
and scan velocities can be achieved.
Application fields:
Surface examination of highly reflective mate-
rials e.g. wafers or surface mirrors.
Highlighting of contours, scratches, cracks,
dust particles and dirt.

The color line scan cameras provide the red (R),
green (G), and blue (B) information sequentially
in one single line scan signal. A two-dimensional
color image is generated by moving the object or
the camera. Thereby the sensor properties, the
travel direction, and the travel speed have to be
accounted for:
A true-colored image requires a white balance
operation (shading correction). For this the RGB
intensities are calibrated with a white calibration
target. Furthermore particularly with sources with
a high red or infrared portion (e.g. halogen lamps)
the usage of optical filters is appropriate (e.g.
UV/IR cut filter FBP-UVIR-..., see p. 40).
object velocity =
pixel width magnification
exposure time
Dual-line sensors have two sensor lines directly
bordering on each other. One sensor line has 1024
red and 1024 blue pixels alternately. The other
sensor line has 2048 green pixels. By internal
buffering of the red-blue line, the RGB pixels are
already accurately allocated in the camera.
During object travel, an object point reaches the
blue CCD line sensor first. If the object is transla-
ted by one pixel width per cycle, after 8 line cy-
cles the green pixels are exposed. After another
8 pixels the red pixels are reached and the full
color information is acquired completely. The co-
lor information originating from different object
points has to be buffered in the computer and af-
terwards relocated correctly. The PCI interface
board SK9192D (LVDS) and the SkLineScan

software support corresponding functions.


Triple-line sensors re-
quire a line-synchro-
nous translation of the
object and a true sided
pixel allocation. If these
conditions are not ob-
served, images with co-
lor convergence aber-
rations are generated B

Dual line sensors
Triple-line sensors
have 3 separate sen-
sor lines for the pri-
mary colors red (R),
green (G), and blue
(B). With up to 3x
10680 pixels triple-
line color line scan
cameras have an ex-
tremely high optical
resolution.
Pixel widths are depending on the sensor
3.5 m or 8 m. The distance in between the sen-
sor lines is 8 times the pixel width.
Advantages: Very high optical resolution. Pre-
cise color mixing at line synchronous acquisition.
For 2D image acquisition with dual-line color sen-
sor signals with 2048 x green, 1024 x red and 1024
x blue, there
are two differ-
ent alterna-
tives.
1. All green
pixels gener-
ate an image
point. The red
and blue pixels are each used twice. 2048 image
points per line are generated.
2. The red and blue pixels are used only once and
combined with the mean value of two adjacent
green pixels. 1024 image points per line are gen-
erated. The image resolution is higher in alterna-
tive 1 because twice the green pixels are used.

Advantages: The properly allocated color infor-

CCD Line Scan Camera with
Bright Field Illumination
An innovative design for new applications in
surface analysis
Sealing surface Coin testing Micro embossing Lacquer damage
High-contrast image acquisition of structured objects; making the invisible visible
Illumination and image acquisition techniques well adapted to the object properties, emphasize
the object features of interest. Elaborate image processing algorithms are avoided.
In microscopy, the application of sophisticated illumination techniques for the
enhancement of specific object features has been a matter of course for a long time.
It is well known, that, in addition to the performance of the lens, the illumination is crucial
for the quality of the image recorded. With incident light microscopy, e.g. for the
examination of the crystal structure of metallic surfaces, techniques such as bright field
and dark field illumination, directed and diffuse illumination are used since the end of
the 19th century.
Line scan sensor heads by Schfter+ Kirchhoff
combine the line scan camera, the measuring
object and a LED based directed bright field
illumination in a ruggedized unit, well suited for
industrial applications. The LED illumination is
aligned with the camera lens and has service
life of several years.
By their modular structure CCD line scan came-
ra sensor heads are used for various tasks in
surface and texture analysis. Figure 1 shows a
sensor head with 8 m resolution with a field of
view of 33 mm (4096 pixels). Figure 1 on the
opposite side shows a sensor head with a re-
solution of 5 m and a 41 mm field of view
(> 8000 pixels). The working distance in each
case is 50 mm.
Directed bright field illumination is optimally
suited for surface inspection. Surface dam-
ages, not noticeable to the human eye, are
made visible with high contrast. Subsequent
image processing encounters optimum condi-
tions.
Fig. 1: CCD line scan camera sensor
head with directed bright field illumina-
tion
In a directed bright field illumination the light
comes from the camera direction. Glossy sur-
faces parallel to the CCD sensor reflect most
of the light back to the camera and so appear
as bright areas. Structured surfaces and
beveled edges appear dark. Fig. 2 illustrates
the effect of the directed bright field illumina-
tion by use of a cross section of an euro coin.

The edges of the mint margin and the fig-
ure are sloped inside and outside. The ver-
tically directed light is scattered, only a part
is reflected back on the CCD sensor. The
edges are reproduced darkly.
Margin and figure face are arranged at
right angle to the illumination source, they
reflect most of light to the sensor and are
reproduced as bright surfaces.
The British islands and the European
continent have a face with structured grain.
The light is scattered and the European
continent is displayed as a dark surface
with bright granulation.
The transition of the coin margin to the
center surface is slightly bent and is ren-
dered as a surface with gray tone.

Varnished auto body sheet steel made of high
alloy aluminum is sensitive to filiform corro-
sion and filiform varnish infiltration origina-
ting from scratches. The directed bright field
illumination reveals the full contrast of the
filament thus formed. The automatic evalua-
tion of the test plates based on digital image
processing finds optimum conditions.

Criteria for lens selection
The lens selection tables to on page 37 take the max. per-
mitted length of the CCD sensor into account.
Video, photo, or scan and macro lenses respectively are suitable for a limited
sensor length and a limited range of magnification.
Further selection criteria for lenses are lens focal length, F-number, trans-
mission, contrast, geometrical distortion, and the mechanical lens mount.
Video (CCTV-) lenses with C-mount camera thread are available for
different sensor lengths.
1" for max. 15 mm sensor length,

2
3" for max. 11 mm sensor length.
CCTV lenses are characterized by a low F-number (F1.4 to F1.8) and small
size. They have an integrated focusing mechanism. Together with extension
rings small reproduction scales are achieved.
Photo lenses: Photo lenses are suitable for CCD line scan cameras with
sensor lengths up to 36 mm. They have an integrated focusing mechanism
and stand out due to a good cost/performance ratio. Two type series are
provided:
Photo lenses series SK: For industrial measuring systems Schfter+
Kirchhoff provides a special series of photo lenses with focal lengths from
20 mm to 85 mm. A screw mount connects the lens housing with the body
of the CCD camera. This efficiently prevents a displacement of the meas-
ured signal on the CCD sensor (as with standard SLR lenses and standard
bayonet mount). A blocking bridge with integrated screws for fixation of fo-
cus and aperture setting secures the lens against unintentional misadjust-
ment.
Standard photo lenses with F-mount (bayonet mount): Schfter + Kirch-
hoff provides series AF from Nikon .
For Photo lenses with bayonet mount (e.g. F-mount), Schfter + Kirchhoff
provides a lens adapter for connecting photo lenses (SLR lenses) with
bayonet mount to CCD line scan cameras with mounting thread M40 x 0.75
or M32 x 0.75.

Scan lenses , unlike typical photo and CCTV lenses, are optimized for
a finite reproduction scale (= 1/2 - 1/20). They are suitable for sensor lengths
up to 90 mm. In the specified magnification range these lenses have a high
imaging quality and a plane field of view. Hence, in case of macro imaging,
its use can make sense for CCD line scan cameras with short sensor lengths.
These lenses do not have a mechanism for focusing such as video and pho-
to lenses do. The focus adapter FA22-40 and optional extension rings
type ZR10 - ZR50 ensure a precise and
mechanical stable connection between scan lens and line scan cameras
made by Schfter + Kirchhoff.
Macro lenses with focal lengths f= 50 mm, f= 75 mm, and f= 120 mm
are optimized for magnification around 1:1 (0.8 to 3 times) and are suitable
for sensor lengths up to 43 mm, 70 mm, and 130 mm, respectively. These
lenses do not have a mechanism for focusing such as video and photo lens-
es do. The focus adapter FA22-40 and optionally extension rings
type ZR... ensure a precise and mechanical stable connection between scan
lens and line scan cameras made by Schfter + Kirchhoff.
For cameras with screw mount M45 x 0.75 and sensor lengths up to 41 mm,
Schfter + Kirchhoff provides extension rings and focus adapter
with a large inner diameter in order to avoid vignetting. In this case, the fo-
cus adapter is placed directly after the lens.
Camera brackets and camera consoles: For all camera types Schfter +
Kirchhoff provides camera brackets and
,
which are fixed directly
to the camera body. In case of macro imaging with extension rings, camera
consoles and are used, which hold the camera centrally at the ex-
tension rings.

In particular for camera SK4096... with 41 mm sensor length Schfter +
Kirchhoff supplies extension rings and a focus adapter with large inner
diameter in order to avoid vignetting. In this case the focus adapter FA16-
45 is placed directly after the lens.
In the focus adapter, there is a fine pitch thread with 10 mm range. The
length of the focus adapter can be varied from 16 mm to 26 mm. On cir-
cumference there are 3 pin screws for locking the adjusted focus position.
Lens Apo-Rodagon D1x 4.0/75 yields with focus adapter FA16-45 and with
extension ring ZR-L87 attached to camera SK4096... a 1:1 magnification,
with extension ring ZR-L60 and lens Apo-Rodagon D2x 4.5/75 magnifi-
cation 1:2.
Scan and macro lenses do not have a focusing mechanism. Hence, these
lens series are attached to line scan cameras with the adjustable focus
adapter FA22-... .
The focus adapter can be supplied with different screw mounts on the camera
side (from C-mount to M42x1), see order code. On the front side a thread
M39x1/26 (Leica thread) allows for the adaptation of scan and macro lenses.
In the focus adapter, there is a fine pitch thread with 11mm range. The length
of the focus adapter can thus be varied from 22 mm to 33 mm.
On the circumference there are 3 pin screws for locking the adjusted focus
position.
Macro imaging requires a large distance between camera and lens.
Extension rings ZR..., graded in lengths from 10 mm to 5 mm, bridge this
distance (calculation see page 39, F4 and F5).

The magnification is defined as
Beispiel: Measuring region L = 290 mm, CCD sensor length S = 28.7 mm:
= S/L = 28.7/290 = 1/10.1
With the magnification and focal length f, the lens extension is:
Example 1: Magnification = 1/10.1 and focal lenth f = 50 mm:
s= 50 mm / 10.1 = 4.95 mm
Example 2: In a macro imaging with = 1, (1:1 - imaging) the lens extension
equals the focal length f.
With magnification and focal length f:
For 1/10 approximately OO = (1/ + 2) f + HH.
Example 1: Video lens B1614A, focal length f = 16 mm, HH = 3.85 mm
L = 290 mm, S = 13.3 mm
OO = (L/S + 2) f + HH = (290/13.3 + 2)16 mm + 3.85 mm
= 384.7 mm (approximation)
Example 2: Rodagon 4.0/80, focal length f = 81 mm, HH = -2.5 mm, = 1/6
OO = (1/++2) f + HH = (1/6+6+2)81mm - 2.5 mm = 658.7 mm
OO = + + 2 f + HH

The depth of focus 2z calculates to


with the F-number K , the pixel pitch (mm) y, and
the magnification .
Example: pixel pitch y = 0.014 mm,
magnification = 1/10,
F-number K = 4:
2z = 2 0.014 mm 410(1+10) = 12.3
2z = 2 y K (1 + ) /

The edge intensity of the line scan signal is given by
the illumination and by the field angle w(see F7). Even
with homogeneous illumination the signal amplitude
decreases towards the ends of the line:
Rule of thumb: The focal length should at least
equal the sensor length. In this case the edge in-
tensity is > 70% of the center intensity.
Example: Edge intensity calculated for two different field angles with unchan-
ged sensor length S = 28.7 and unchanged magnification = 1/4.
a) focal length f = 50 mm b) focal length f = 28 mm
field angle w = 13 field angle w = 22.3
edge intensity = 90% edge intensity = 73%
Edge intensity [%] = 100 cos
4
(w)
The field angle w is determined by the sensor length S, the focal length f
and Magnification :
The field angle is used for calculating the edge intensity, F10.
The resolution of a lens is limited due to diffraction. It is given by the effective F-
number K (see F8). The resolution is best when closing the lens aperture 1 to 2
steps. Then the lens resolution reaches approxi-
mately the diffraction limit. Two neighboring image
elements can be distinguished when their distance
is
The optical wavelength is in case of visible
radiation approximately = 550 nm.
Example: effective F-number K = 8,
wavelength = 550 nm
ymin = 10.6 m
y 2.4 K
When calculating the signal amplitude or the limit of lens resolution due to
diffraction (see F12), the F-number (focal length/ aperture diameter) has to be
replaced by an effective F-number (image range/ aperture diameter) for small
magnifications 10. With the nominal F-number K and magnification the
effective F-number K calculates to:
Example: nominal F-number K = 4, magnification = 1:
effective F-number K = 2K = 8
K = K(1 + )
After selecting a CCD line scan camera, a suitable lens and, if necessary,
extension rings have to be determined. The required lens extension and the
depth of focus can be calculated exactly.
Calculation is performed in the following 5 steps:
Step 1: Magnification: For a given measuring range L and a selected line
scan camera with sensor length S, the magnification is calculated, see
(F2).
Step 2: Focal length: With magnification and the given measuring distance
OO the focal length f of a suitable lens can be calculated, see (F3).
By contrast, with a given lens focal length f and a given magnification the
required measuring distance OO can be calculated, (F6).
Step 3: Lens extension and tubes length: For achieving a sharp imaging
the lens has to have a defined distance from the CCD line sensor.
In case of CCTV lenses and photo lenses the lens extension s, is calcula-
ted (F4), and set with the focusing mechanism.
In case of scan and macro lenses the lens extension s is set at the exter-
nal focusing mechanism. For large magnifications additional extension rings
are used.
The required tube length LT is calculated with (F4) and (F5). It is realized with
extension rings and - in case of scan and macro lenses - with the focus
adapter.
Step 4: Depth of focus: In case of imaging objects with certain thickness
the depth of focus 2z has to be determined. It has to be large enough in or-
der to image the whole measuring object sharply. (F8).
Step 5: Resolution: A large F-number yields to a reduction of resolution
caused by diffraction. The resolution of the imaging has to be controlled,

Transillumination is the most efficient illumination technique.
Application: Measuring of width and edge.
Front illumination: The fluorescent tube is placed as closely as possible to the measured object.
A split aperture diminishes stray light on the CCD line sensor. For small lamp distances h the
signal amplitude on the CCD line sensor decreases almost linearly with increasing h, for larger dis-
tances (from approx. 3x lamp diameter on) it decreases with 1/h
2
.

Due to the high measuring frequency up to125 kHz
and a resulting exposure (integration) time of only
a few microseconds, a much higher light intensity
on the line sensor is required compared to a cam-
era with CCD area sensor and 60 Hz frame rate for
a similar signal amplitude.
Fluorescent tubes, linear and U-shaped, are
ideal sources of light for transillumination and
for front illumination applications with line scan
cameras (efficiency, cost to performance ratio).
The light distribution is very homogeneous
except near the electrode areas at the ends of
the glass tube.
For uniform illumination of the sensor, the
source, as with all linear sources, has to be con-
siderably longer than the measurement range.
The electronic ballasts (HF) for the fluorescent
tubes are a special series with filter for sup-
pression of the 50/60 Hz main frequency. The
switching frequency lies above 30 kHz.
Excimer lamp systems are mercury-free
fluorescent tubes, equipped with internal
reflectors for increase of light efficiency.
For even higher luminance or directed illumina-
tion (dark field illumination, see page 29,
directed bright field illumination see page 34)
linear fiber optic illumination with high-effi-
ciency LEDs, halogen or metal vapor lamps are
used. Beneficial is a separate lamp housing with
directed heat dissipation.
Linear LED arrays are used both for directed,
and for diffuse illumination (see page 29 and
41). With high-efficiency LEDs high luminance
and at the same time, a life expectancy of s-
everal 10000 hours are achieved.
The type of illuminant is not only crucial for the
illumination level. Depending on the source,
different object characteristics are accentuated.
With many measuring tasks the quality of the raw data in terms of contrast
and sharpness can be improved directly through optical filtering.
Edge filters and bandpass filters suppress ambient light on directed illumi-
nation with laser or LED light.
UV-IR blocking filters suppress parts of the radiation beyond the visible wave-
length region for contrast enhancement.
Long pass edge filters transmit the
spectral range on the right hand
side of the filter edge, e.g. starting
from 570 nm at filter OG590.

Polarizing filters suppress reflections of non-metallic surfaces.
With fluorescence exposures notch filters are used to block the excitation
wavelength.
For particular measuring tasks separate filters are used in combination.

Application: Scanner for money transfer forms. The orange colored imprint visible to the human
eye is invisible to a CCD camera when illumined with monochromatic red light. This yields to data
reduction and thus increases the system efficiency.
Down edge of intensity by insufficient lamp length
For uniform illumination the source of light must be clearly longer
than the measuring range. In the center of the measuring range light
portions from both sides of the source overlay. The illumination de-
creases towards the edges.
The distribution of intensity is not only affected by the length of the
light source, but also by the transmission and reflection character-
istics of the test item (e.g. reflecting or vaguely reflecting), by the dis-
tance of the source from the measuring object and the beam char-
acteristic of the source. The reflected beam angle with fluorescent
lamps amounts to approx. 180, with LEDs for instance 120 and
with fiber-optic cross-sectional transformers for instance 80. Dif-
fusers and lens arrays in front of the source increase the edge
intensity.

Example: If at given distance h0 = 5 mm the CCD signal is 75 %
of the saturation exposure, the active signal amplitude results in
h1 = 10 mm: 50 %,
h2 = 60 mm: 6 %,
h3 = 100 mm: 2 %
With larger lamp distances h the decay of brightness is
compensated by a
cylinder lens (Fresnel, spherical or aspheric lens) or an
ellipsoidal reflector trough.

LINEX

by OSRAM is a lamp system distinguished by high efficiency


and long service life up to 10,000 hours. The light source has a lumi-
nance up to 80,000 Lux
An integrated internal reflector causes an emission at an angle of 75
(see fig. 1). Due to a pulsed DC mode with an operating frequency
> 80 KHz, the light emission is free of jitter. The luminance is 250 per-
cent of a conventional fluorescent lamp operated in a sinusoidal AC
mode. Full luminance is reached in less than 100 milliseconds.
The spectrum of the xenon-filled light source (see fig. 2) corresponds
to a color temperature of 5400 K normal day light and is constant over
the entire service life.

With xenon lamps Schfter+Kirchhoff has implemented water cooled
systems with 1 kW power.
Application: High-speed scan systems.
Fiber optical shape converters in various sizes are provided by VOLPI
(www.volpi.ch) for instance.
MTD-LED linear lights were developed in par-
ticular for CCD line camera applications. They
are based on latest LED and COB technology.
A packing density of more than 10 LEDs per cm
provides for high irradiance with homogeneous
radiation characteristic.
The linear light is built up modularly, sizes from
300 to 3000 mm are available.
Further characteristics of MTD-LED linear lights
are the use of cylinder lenses for focusing, the
integrated constant current and control elec-
tronics, as well as a balanced passive heat
management.
Application:
Inspection of length-of-fabric material with
transmitted and incident light.
Quality control in metals, paper, glass, plas-
tics, wood and textile industry
Highlights:
High power LEDs in chip-on-board techno-
logy
Homogeneous Illumination, high irradiance
Focused radiation
Long durability of the LEDs
Lengths from 300 to 3000 mm
Various diffusers applicable
Protection class IP 54

Laser line generator 13LT-... / 13LTM-... and 5LT-... / 5LTM-...
Application: 3D Measurements due to combined illumination
Laser triangulation:
A laser beam incident at the angle generates a
laser spot which is imaged by a lens onto a CCD
line. Changes in height shift the laser spot to the
left or to the right . Large angles result in a
small measurement range h, at small angles the
measurement range h is increased and the resolu-
tion reduced.

Online acquisition of height and width values with


a CCD line scan camera. The combined signals
of the front illumination and the structured laser
illumination falls onto the CCD sensor. The line
signal contains both, width and height informa-
tion.
Front illumination for 2D acquisition of length,
width, and contour.
Structured laser illumination for 1D height
values. Laser triangulation is used for signal
evaluation.

Laser micro lines are used for a structured illumination of measuring objects,
e.g. for laser triangulation (see application). Laser lines are projected onto
the measurement object perpendicular to the CCD line senor. The advan-
tage of a laser line contrary to a spot projection is a reduced demand in ad-
justment accuracy perpendicular to the CCD line sensor. Line generators by
Schfter+Kirchhoff have a beam profile toward the line given by a truncated
Gaussian profile with typically 80% edge intensity.

Order Code: 5LTM250-11+25CM-685-27-M02-A8-2
Application: Laser projection and diffraction
Measuring principle:
The laser diode collimator projects an exactly pa-
rallel bundle of rays. This is partially obstructed
by the test object. On the CCD sensor one ore
multiple shadow edges a are produced directly
and without intermediate imaging. The bound-
aries are evaluated by thresholding.
The coherent radiation yields to Fresnel diffrac-
tion patterns b , which can be evaluated for an
increased resolution of the measurement.

telecentric imaging or in case of non-imaging measurement setups, e.g. laser
projection and diffraction (see application). In one direction the laser beam
has approximately constant intensity with an edge intensity of > 70% of cen-
ter intensity. In the other direction the beam has Gaussian shape.

Fig. 3: Intensity profile and line width of a laser
macro line. Power density and line width are
almost constant in a working span increased
by a factor 35 compared to a laser micro line,
see Fig. 2).
Fig. 2: Intensity profile and line width of a laser
micro line. High power density and narrow line
width at focus. Line width broadening and
decreasing power density at altered working
distance.
Laser micro lines and laser macro lines:
Laser micro lines have a Gaussian beam profile
>12 m perpendicular to the line (Fig. 2).
Unlike laser micro lines, laser macro lines have a
depth of focus increased by a factor of 35.
Perpendicular to the line, the beam profile is
almost Gaussian within the depth of focus.
Beyond the depth of focus, side lopes appear due
to diffraction, (Fig. 3). Depending on working
distance, line widths starting with 40 m are
achieved. For laser macro lines, the maximum
laser power is 23 mW.

Today, solar cells are key components of regenerative power
sources. To reach the high quality standards, manufacturing and
mounting steps are controlled automatically and with high preci-
sion. One quality and performance feature is the quality of the
collectors for current flow which are realized in silk-screen print-
ing, the so-called grid fingers and bus bars. Caused by manu-
facturing process, constriction of cross section areas and even
breaks are possible. The size of solar cells of the new generation
is 150 x 150 mm and the grid finger width is 100 m. The meas-
uring resolution of the grid finger width is 10 m. For this meas-
urement task, which has to be realized online, the digital line scan
camera SK7500DTO with 7500 pixels is highly suitable.
At a measurement field width of 150 mm, the optical resolution
is 20m. The required resolution of 10 m for the width mea-
surement is reached by using a sub-pixel algorithm. To generate
a 2-dimensional image the solar cell is moved laterally to the line
scan camera. With a horizontal frequency of 5.2 kHz and a
resolution of 20 m the transport along the measuring distance
of 150 mm is reached in 1.5 seconds.
