Understanding Camera Resolution

Sep 18, 2018 Vision systems are complicated by “real-world” variables. Lighting is always different (and never perfect). The size and placement of the item being imaged vary, as does lens quality.

This webinar will discuss how sensors and lighting affect camera resolution and the resulting image. You will learn a simple formula that will help you calculate the camera resolution you need for your application — and how to use the results of your calculation to achieve the best imaging results under a variety of real-world conditions.

Speaker Daniel Olache will cover various ways to light an application, including back- and frontlighting. He will discuss the use of camera calibration, what’s important to know about your image-processing software, choosing a lens for your camera, testing, and more.
