1 Enhance Your Vision Applications with Optical Filtering
2 Jason Dougherty Managing Director Midwest Optical Systems
3 Agenda Why should you use optical filters? Optimize your lighting with optical filters Additional benefits and features of optical filters Things to consider when choosing filters Application examples Q & A Cognex Corporation
4 How to think about filters Oftentimes optical filters are viewed as an afterthought Optical filters are a necessity not an accessory Filter Lens Camera Light Filter Lens Light Camera Cognex Corporation
5 Optical filtering in action Cognex Corporation
6 Why should you use optical filters?
7 Why optical filters? Control quality and quantity of light Block all unwanted ambient lighting Pass only the output of lighting used for inspection Increase contrast and resolution Cognex Corporation
8 Increase contrast and resolution A lens with Chromatic Aberration doesn't focus all wavelengths of light to a single point resulting in less than optimal images. White Light Lens No Bandpass Filter Multiple Focal Points White Light Bandpass Filter Single Focal Point Before Bandpass Filter After Bandpass Filter Cognex Corporation
9 How filters control light Digital Camera Spectral Response Interfering Light Reaching the Application Bandpass Filters Block Interfering LIght Cognex Corporation
10 How filters can increase contrast Pass Light = Highlight Color Selectively pass or block light wavelengths which can highlight or darken areas of an image Block Light = Darken Color Pass Light With Green Bandpass Filter And Highlight Green Colored Marker Blocked Wavelengths With Green Bandpass Filter Darken Blocked Colors Cognex Corporation
11 Does filter quality matter? Filters designed for photographic film are not suitable for digital imaging systems! Color Image, No Filter Green Photographic Filter Red Photographic Filter Cognex Corporation
12 And here s why Relative Spectral Response CCD/CMOS Photographic Film Relative Spectral Response: Film vs Digital Camera Photographic Filters Limit Transmission When Used with a Digital Camera Sharpcut / Longpass Filters Are Suitable for Photography But Not Machine Vision Machine Vision Filters Isolate the Desired Wavelengths Cognex Corporation
13 MV filters optimize image quality Camera, No Filter Photographic Filter Machine Vision Green Bandpass Filter Cognex Corporation
14 Optimize your lighting with optical filters
15 Monochromatic LED lighting Monochromatic (single color) LED lighting is most commonly used for illumination in applications to isolate the desired wavelength Cognex Corporation
16 Designed for modern day illumination Designed for High Transmission All machine vision bandpass filters should have an antireflective coating to increase transmission More light = faster speeds and added efficiency Allows LED to operate with less intensity Maximize output and increase lifespan of the LED which results in less light intensity on the factory floor Mimic the output of the LED 100% % % % % Cognex Corporation
17 Designed for modern day illumination Typical monochromatic LEDs have a total light output of /-10nm filters are designed purposefully broad to accommodate the entire output of the LED Solid Blue 470 LED Spans nm Acutely Narrow Filter Spans 20 nm Bandpass Filter Spans nm Narrow Bandpass Filter Spans nm Cognex Corporation
18 White light Made up of the entire visible spectrum = = White LED Visible Light Spectral curve of a white LED shown spanning the entire spectrum Cognex Corporation
19 Test white light and bandpass filters = White LED no filter, no contrast = Blue LED highlights push pin = Blue Bandpass Filter highlights blue push pin Cognex Corporation
20 Additional benefits and features of optical filters
21 Protect your lens investment Filters protect the surface of the lens and internal threads from dust, scratching, cleaning and inhospitable environments Safe Lens Broken Filter Cognex Corporation
22 Save money and space Optical filters can eliminate light shields Cognex Corporation
23 Camera resolution flexibility A filter improves contrast significantly making it possible to get acceptable detection results using a lower resolution camera High Resolution Camera Orange Fluorescent Spot Detected In The Application Low Resolution Camera With Orange Bandpass Filter Cognex Corporation
24 Extreme durability Cognex Corporation
25 Insures repeatability and stability Filters create a low-cost Insurance Policy for the lifetime of the application Image Lab Consistent Lighting Environment Achieve consistent results with Optical Filters Factory Floor Inconsistent Lighting Environment Cognex Corporation
26 Things to consider when choosing a filter Define Imaging Objective Light & Wavelength Monochrome or Color Camera Filter Mount Size
27 Define imaging objective Define Imaging Objective Low Contrast Interfering Ambient Light Reduce Light Intensity Color Sorting Edge Detection Reduce Glare Remove Barcode Interference Camera Bloom Overpowering Light Source Cognex Corporation
28 What s your optimal LED wavelength? Light & Wavelength Utilize white light with bandpass filters to test & determine the optimal LED wavelength for your application Original Color Image Blue Bandpass / UV Block Light Green Bandpass Orange Bandpass Light Red Bandpass IR Bandpass Cognex Corporation
29 How do you find the right filter? Light & Wavelength Filter Test Kits Find the most suitable wavelength to optimize image quality Test before investing In hardware Find the most suitable match for the light source Find the best filter to maximize contrast Find the best filter to control interfering light Cognex Corporation
30 Monochrome or color? Monochrome or Color Camera A Bayer filter array runs over a monochrome sensor Analyzes each pixel s color information and, combined with that of adjacent pixels, recreates the full color image Resolution loss is most pronounced when detection of a single or a few colors is all that is required 25% Red Pixel RGB sensor 50% Green Pixel 25% Blue Pixel Cognex Corporation
31 Monochromatic imaging Monochrome or Color Camera Significantly increase camera efficiency Color Monochrome Monochrome with Filter Blue Bandpass Filter 25% Efficient 90% Efficient Entire sensor is used to detect intensity. Original Color Image, UV 395nm LED No Filter Blue Bandpass Filter Combined with a blue bandpass filter that transmits 90+%, a monochrome sensor vs a color sensor is at least 3 times more efficient Cognex Corporation
32 Mount to any system Filter Mount Size Cognex Corporation
33 Application examples
