ACCUplace Position Grid
AP-P Series
-
The AP-P is a unique calibration target that is designed to test the position and/or recognition ability of a vision system. The matrix of small scales, precisely positioned in a grid matrix format, makes testing for subject recognition and system positioning simple.The overall target is comprised of a matrix consisting of 6.0mm x 6.0mm square individual components each having a 5.0mm x 5.0mm X & Y Scale with 0.100 divisions. The scale has pitch accuracy of 1μm. The AP-P is available on two standard materials; Chrome on Glass (CG) and Chrome on Opal (OP).

Conformance Calibration Standard Test Card for UPC/EAN Symbol Verifiers
AI-CCS-UPC/EAN-E Rev S
-
For those who prefer a traditional vertical format calibration test card, APPLIED IMAGE offers our new Conformance Calibration Standard Enhanced for UPC/EAN Bar Code Symbol Verifiers. The new standard complies with both the ANSI X3.182 and ISO 15416 standards and is ideal for testing of verifiers, scanners, and other UPC bar reading equipment as well as a tool for training new operators to assure proper “methodology' in the use of verifiers.

Standard Step Tablets, Gray Scales & Density Reference Charts
-
Standard Step Tablets, Gray Scales & Density Reference Charts are available in a wide variety of patterns, designs and sizes to fit a multitude of today’s application needs. Our gray scales and density patches are measured on a variety of NIST traceable instrumentation, including some of the most sophisticated microdensitometers available to the industry. They are imaged on either Photo Paper (RM) or Film (TM) to function for reflective or transmissive applications.

SINE M-15-60 Sinusoidal Array
-
The reflective Sinusoidal Array SINE M-15-60 is similar to the M-13-60 (1X version) except that the range of spatial frequencies begins with 0.25 cycles per mm and extends to 20 cycles per mm. To compensate for the additional frequencies, the 3/16 cycles per mm area has been eliminated. Both arrays are imaged on Photo Paper.

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.

ACCUplace Dot Distortion Target
AP-DD Series
-
All machine vision lenses will show some type of distortion. Minimizing or correcting that distortion is crucial in most applications. The ACCUplace Dot Distortion target is designed to detect the presence of both barrel/pincushion distortion as well as alignment distortion that causes the keystone effect. The precise amount of distortion is determined from an array of precisely placed dots in a regular array. The results can be used to correct for any distortion that occurs within the optical system. The AP-DD is offered on three standard substrates; Chrome on Glass (CG) Opal (OP) and Photo Paper (RM).

SINE M-6 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-6 contains the same gray scales and sinusoidal areas as the M-5 but is arranged in a shorter and wider format, making it particularly useful when the complete array is to be imaged at one time.The overall size of the array is 70mm x 46mm; centered on an 8.5 inch (215mm) strip of 70mm film, which can also be mounted in glass (TM-G variations) at each modulation (-35, -60, -80).

SINE M-13-60 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-13-60 is designed to be used for evaluating systems that work in the reflective mode such as scanners, machine vision systems and cameras. It is imaged on Photo Paper in four different sizes getting larger from 1X – 8X. The ½X and 1X slides incorporate the same spatial frequencies. Spatial frequencies for the 2X, 4X and 8X versions are 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 respectively.

Square Wave Patterns (Ronchi Gratings/Rulings)
-
Square Wave patterns (Ronchi Gratings/Rulings) have extremely sharp edges. At APPLIED IMAGE, this sharpness is achieved through our unique manufacturing capabilities and processing technologies which produces the sharpest edges available anywhere. Our standard line of Ronchi Gratings is offered on Chrome on Glass (CG) and Photo Paper (RM).The Ronchi rulings are available on other substrate materials such as B270, quartz, BK-7, and White Opal as well as in English frequency metrics (cycles per inch).

SINE M-14 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-14 was designed for various electro-optical applications, particularly where a small array is needed to fit into the frame. It can fit into an 18mm diameter circle or into a standard 35mm motion picture frame.The lines in the SINE M-14 lie perpendicular to the length of the film. In addition, the pattern is available on a wider film (without perforations) cemented between glass (TM-G options) both the .6 (-60) and .8 (-80) modulations.
