This is another reason (besides location and portability) I’m hesitant to built a multi-function CNC machine since I’m still overconfident that I can make something that can cover the full range of operations, i.e. Seems we can do laser measuring easy also commercial off the shelf and I am guessing touch probe… though the later will be more complex… especially the resonating probes (feather probes). Posted in cnc hacks, Misc Hacks Tagged cnc, depth of field, focal plane, image analysis, Laplace Transform, measurement, microscope, opencv Post navigationĪwesome, I’ve been wondering about DIY optical measuring systems… especially with the quality of cameras that are cost effective more-so now. We’re looking forward to what he comes up with next.
We could see this method being useful for getting an accurate vertical profile of a more complex object.įrom home-brew lidar to detecting lightning in video, has an interesting skill set at the intersection of optics and electronics. measured a coin using this technique and it was spot on compared to a caliper. If you know the distance the lens traveled between peaks, you can estimate the height of the object. A Laplace transformation is performed to assess the sharpness of each image, which when plotted against the frame number shows peaks where the image is most in focus. The idea is simple: the height of the camera over the object to be measured is increased in fine increments, with an image acquired in OpenCV at each stop. Some jobs call for a hands-off, indirect way to measure small distances, which is where this image analysis measuring technique can come in handy.Īlthough it appears purpose-built this rig, which consists of a microscopic lens on a digital camera mounted to the Z-axis of a small CNC machine, we suspect that anything capable of accurately and smoothly transitioning a camera vertically could be used.
A tape measure and a caliper are both useful tools, but they’re hardly interchangeable for every task.

The engineering behind this machine has produced significantly better optical performance at low zoom, with better image quality, telecentricity, and distortion free imaging.Getting a good measurement is a matter of using the right tool for the job. The digital zoom allows for instantaneous magnification changes, while the standard all-LED lighting system provides illumination from all angles.Ĭolby Finn, Vice President, QVI Marketing says, “The combination of an innovative optical design, advanced camera technology, and proprietary OGP image processing allows SmartScope E7 to have the same feature size range as other mechanical zoom optical systems, but with no moving parts. SmartScope E7 features the brand-new fixed lens IntelliCentric optical system, a fully telecentric optical system that provides a super high-resolution image perfect for video edge detection. OGP has reimagined the trusted SmartScope system to be accessible for all skill levels and budgets. Optical Gaging Products (OGP) recently announce the addition of SmartScope E7 to its product portfolio, the first in the all-new SmartScope E-Series family of 3D Multisensor Measurement Systems.
