To calculate the required focal length, measure the distance from the smart camera
to the object, as well as the height (vertical size) and width (horizontal size) of the
object.
Matrox Iris
Use the following calculations to determine the required focal length for your
situation.
×
Vertical constant
Distance from object
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
Vertical size of object
+
Vertical constant
By selecting the smallest focal length from the vertical and the horizontal focal
length calculations, you assure that both the vertical and horizontal dimensions
of your object will fit within the view of your lens.
The sensor chip size of your smart camera determines the horizontal and vertical
constants required in the above-mentioned calculations. Each type of Matrox Iris
E-Series smart camera uses a different sensor chip size.
The constants to use in the above formula are as follows:
P r o d u c t n a m e
I E 3 0 0 , I E 3 0 0 C
I E 3 0 0 H , I E 3 0 0 R , I E 7 0 0 , I E 7 0 0 R
I E 1 2 0 0 , I E 1 2 0 0 H , I E 1 2 0 0 R , I E 1 2 0 0 H R
