Both mDNS packages as well as packages directly on another computer are permitted. • Router separates subnets, i.e. a router can forward queries from one subnet to another subnet. NAT is generally used, i.e.
  • Page 30 mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6 11.2.3.3 Server and client live in different IP subnets The mDNS packages are not transmitted beyond subnet boundaries as standard. The possible solutions are: • An additional (Linux) computer, which connects both subnets, i.e. has access to both subnets and is configured so that it forwards mDNS queries to the other subnet (=Avahi reflector), is required.

In this case, the firewall forwards all queries on one of its ports to a specific smart camera port, i.e.

  • Page 34: Choice Of The Right Lens And Lighting System

    mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6 11.3 Choice of the right lens and lighting system 11.3.1 Find the correct lens Lenses are the starting point of the image processing signal path and shape the light information. The better the optics and the more time you've invested in this issue, the better the source material for the image processing.
  • Page 35 mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6 • Aperture an opening through which light travels (narrow aperture = less light) a scale indicates the f-number (high value = narrow aperture) has direct impact on the imaging quality (determines resolution and depth of field). Calculate the image Using the formula for a single lens is the easiest way to calculate an image.
  • Page 36 mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6 Choice of the lens You can calculate further parameters using the following formula (the focal length with the given object distance, or with the given focal length the object distance): Figure 4 Focal length formula f = g * B / (G + B) If the size of the sensor (B), the size of the object (G), and the object distance (g) are known, you can calculate the needed focal length.
  • Page 37 mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6 Because single lenses have strong aberrations, several lenses are used to compensate these errors. The wavelength of the light has a great influence on the image. For each wavelength, the image quality is good and/or is sharp in different spots. By the use of the mentioned corrections with several lenses, it is tried to consolidate these levels.
  • Page 38 mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6 e = g + h + b h equals 0 with a single lens. Figure 6 Setting level The parameter h is usually not known. With lenses, normally used in combination with the mvBlueGEMINI, h is usually very small. For this reason, the formula without h is used in test setup concepts.
  • Page 39 mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6 The resolution - a little physics Actually, you have to consider the wavelength of the light, because the light makes the image. The wavelength of the visible light is between 0.4 µm and 0.6 µm. The smallest imaged point results from the aperture which will never be smaller than 0.5 µm.

  • Page 40: Find The Correct Lighting System

    mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6 11.3.2 Find the correct lighting system Besides optics, the illumination is an important point, which is critical for good results in the image processing. The golden rule is: create contrast. A lighting system can be homogeneous or structured. Following table shows the effects and the characteristics of lighting systems: Effects Light specifications...
