Line Scan Camera: Precision Imaging for Industrial Applications

Image
  A  line scan camera  is a specialized imaging device designed to capture high-resolution images one line at a time. Unlike traditional area scan cameras that capture an entire frame in a single exposure, line scan cameras are ideal for continuous motion applications, such as conveyor belt inspections, printing quality control, and web monitoring. Their ability to produce extremely detailed images makes them indispensable in industries requiring precision and speed. This article explores the working principles, advantages, applications, and selection criteria for line scan cameras, providing a comprehensive understanding of their role in modern industrial imaging. How a Line Scan Camera Works A line scan camera captures images by recording a single line of pixels at a time. As the object being inspected moves relative to the camera (or vice versa), the camera continuously scans line after line, compiling a complete 2D image. Key Components of a L...
