Page 6: C4 Camera Series Overview
The figures below demonstrate some typical triangulation geometries. The following notation is used in the approximation of height resolution: ∆X= resolution along the laser line (lateral), ∆Y= resolution perpendicular to the laser line (longitudinal in the direction of motion), ∆Z= height resolution. 2 • C4-1280-GigE Camera Hardware Reference Manual Rev. 1.4... -

The camera views the object perpendicularly to its surface, while the laser line is projected under the triangulation angle α. The height resolution can be approximated: ∆Z ≈ ∆X / tan(α) α • 3 C4-1280-GigE Camera Hardware Reference Manual Rev. 1.4... -

Page 18: The C4-1280-Gige Camera Algorithms
The C4-1280-GigE Camera Algorithms The C4-1280-GigE camera can be operated both in a variety of 3D profile modes and in image mode. The current operation mode can be chosen by setting the parameter Camera Controls→ ModeAndAlgorithmControls→CameraMode. The frame rate can be increased in all camera modes by reducing the AOI size. In the image mode the frame rate is limited by the output rate of the camera interface (GigE). -

0 to 1023 pixels (10 bit). If there is more than one local maximum, the position of the first maximum (starting from row zero) is used. • 15 C4-1280-GigE Camera Hardware Reference Manual Rev. 1.4... -
Page 20: The Threshold Mode (Trsh)
In threshold mode the camera can output either the left and right threshold position separately or the subpixel position (P ) and the line width (P ). Moreover, the maximum intensity value can be optionally delivered. 16 • C4-1280-GigE Camera Hardware Reference Manual Rev. 1.4... -
Page 21: The Center Of Gravity Mode (Cog)
In addition the laser line width can be delivered over the Data Channel DC1. The average intensity of the illumination profile can be calculated by normalising the sum of intensity value I with the line width. • 17 C4-1280-GigE Camera Hardware Reference Manual Rev. 1.4... -
