Barcode Conformance Calibration Standards
-
Barcode symbol quality has been at the forefront of discussion among practitioners in the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) industry since they were invented in 1951. Barcodes became commercially successful when they were used to automate checkout systems at grocery stores, with the very first scanning of the Universal Product Code (UPC) on a pack of Wrigley Company chewing gum in June 1974. The Uniform Code Council (UCC) published barcode quality guidelines, and ANSI X3.182-1990 became the first published standard for barcode quality. Since then, ISO/IEC 15416 for 1D symbols and ISO/IEC 15415 for 2D symbols have become the global standards for grading printed barcodes.

SINE M-5 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-5 is made on a strip of 70mm film approximately 5.12 inches (130mm) in length.The upper row contains the sinusoidal areas with the spatial frequencies in cycles per mm. All sinusoidal areas are carefully oriented with respect to the others, and the lines at the left end of the array have been added for alignment purposes.

ACCUplace Grid Indexing Pattern
AP-G Series
-
Ensuring precise motion and positional accuracy is critical for a number of video analysis systems and automated measuring instruments. The AP-G series is ideally suited for calibrating such elements, in addition to its uses in determining stage squareness, and travel distance image analysis and visual inspection systems where precise motion must be calibrated and measured. All AP-G targets have number/letter indexed columns and rows for easy calibration and are offered on four standard materials; Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).

ACCUplace BullsEye /Recognition Grid
AP-B Series
-
A unique concept in imaging calibration technology, The ACCUplace Bulls Eye / Recognition Grid allows the end user to calibrate magnification at multiple power levels, as well as test the system’s ability to recognize and locate distinctive shapes within shapes by focusing on the concentric circles.Each Bulls Eye / Recognition Grid target has individual patterns consisting of 5 concentric circles with 0.50mm line width and 0.50mm spacing between circles (10mm Pitch) with a 0.100mm center dot. In addition, each row and column is labeled with X & Y coordinates. The AP-B series is offered on four standard substrates; Chrome on Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).

SINE (Sinusoidal) Targets & Arrays
-
Sinusoidal Target Arrays have been recognized as a superior test method for a variety of applications, from moiré contouring to reliable MTF Evaluation of materials, lenses, cameras, and electro-optical systems (Follow the hyperlink to learn about using Sinusoids for MTF eval). Sinusoidal Pattern Arrays are manufactured on two different materials for both reflective and transmissive applications. Because of the inherent limitations of reflective materials, the maximum spatial frequency of the reflective pattern arrays is limited to 20 cycles per mm, while the transmission film arrays are offered in various sizes up to 256 cycles per mm. In addition, the sinusoidal arrays are available in a Single Frequency Grating or with Multi-Frequency Gratings. If instead of continuous sinusoidal frequency, you are looking for a square wave frequency design, then look to the Ronchi Gratings page. Should you need to alter the size of the pattern or the substrate, fill out our Custom Test Targets and Charts form and start the conversation.

USAF Targets
-
These targets conform to MIL-STD-150A. Frequencies change by the 6th root of 2. This target is also available in custom sizes and contrasts. This test target meets requirements as specified in MIL-STD-150A for resolving power tests. The target consists of a series of Elements having two sets of lines at right angles. Each set of lines consists of three lines separated by spaces equal to the line width. Each bar has a length to width ratio of 5:1. (Line width is equal to one half of line pitch, which is the inverse of line frequency.) Elements are arranged in groups of six each and Groups are arranged in pairs. Even numbered Groups occupy the left side and bottom right corner and contain a square feature having and edge length equal to the line length of Element 2 in that group. Odd numbered Groups occupy the top right corner and side. Groups and Elements are labeled and differentiated by numbering adjacent to their features. Frequencies in cycles/mm (c/mm) increase between each Element by the sixth root of two (approximately 12.25% per step). The general formula for the line frequency of any target Element can be expressed as 2Group+(Element-1)/6.

SINE M-19 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-19 is a remarkable new test array that achieves 256 cycles per mm while maintaining a significant modulation. It is designed for testing high resolution optical systems such as microscopes. Because its maximum width is 7.5mm, the SINE M-19 is small enough to fit easily onto a standard microscope slide (the TM-G variation is mounted in glass).

SINE FBI Charts
-
There are two SINE Sinusoidal arrays designed for FBI applications: the SINE M-13-60-S-RM and the SINE M-13-60-FBI Kit.The SINE M-13-60-S-RM was designed jointly by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, of Washington DC, and MITRE, of Bedford MA. The primary function of this Target is for computing Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) evaluation in live scanner fingerprint systems for conformance to Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) image quality requirements. The array is on reflective material measuring 16mm x 16mm with sinusoidal arrays ranging in frequency from 1.0 to 10.0 cycles per mm; with nominal modulation of the sinusoidal areas at 60%. The top and bottom rows are density scales, from 0.20 to 1.20 densities.The SINE M-13-60-FBI Kit consist of two individual components, the SINE M-13-60-1X-RM and the RR1-N-RM Ronchi Ruling grating.
