The Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) presents Inline Computational Imaging (ICI), a new method for simultaneous D and 3D inspection that combines the advantages of light field and photometric stereo. The imaging system consists of an area scan camera, a lens and continuous illumination. The process takes into account several viewing and lighting angles and, according to the supplier, enables reliable defect detection. Three main components make up the system: a transport system, a multi-line camera system and two illumination sources. During the imaging process, the inspected object is moved past the multi-line camera and the illumination sources by means of a linear drive and captured. Each line of the camera analyzes the object at a slightly different angle.
