CCD line scan cameras are semiconductorcameras with one photosensitive line only. Theyare used mainly for industrial applications. Linescan cameras are used directly for determi-nation of one-dimensional measures, e.g. widthof a gap, or in combination with a scanningmotion for acquisition of two-dimensionalimages as, e.g. in fax machines and scanners. Advantages of CCD line scan cameras such ashigh optical resolution, high speed, and freesynchronization to individual line scans offer alarge variety of applications in opto-sensorsand measurement technology.A selection of one- and two-dimensional appli-cations is shown in the box below.

Exposure means illuminance of the line scansensor for a set time period. The light sensitiveelements of the sensor transform radiation intofree charges. The time period of accumulationof these charges during one exposure is calledintegration time. The sensor is read out byscrolling out the accumulated charges pixel-by-pixel by means of a shift register. In contin-uous mode, the next exposure is started at thetime of read-out of the previous exposure. Thecharges accumulated at each camera pixel aretransformed in voltage values for furtherconditioning.

Today Schfter+Kirchhoff offers mainly digitalline scan cameras. In digital cameras the linescan signal is digitized with 8 or 12 bit resolutionon the camera board directly. Some analog linescan cameras provide downward compatibili-ty. Digital CCD line scan cameras are providedwith GigE VisionTM, LVDS, CameraLink, orUSB2.0 interface.

Schfter+Kirchhoff now also supports the latestindustrial standard, the GigE VisionTMinterface. Scalability, flexibility, cable length upto 100 m, and last but not least the availabilityof competitive cables for network engineeringmakes the GigE VisionTM standard interestingfor automation technology.Cameras with LVDS interface are operatedwith the Schfter+Kirchhoff line scan grabberSK9192D with PCI bus especially developed forline scan cameras.Signal processing such as run-length enco-ding, thresholding, windowing, and shadingcorrection are performed on-board and there-fore do not need additional computing time. Incombination with the Schfter+Kirchhoff merg-er box, multiple CCD line scan cameras are op-erated line-synchronously with a single linescan grabber.Cameras with CameraLink interface fitseamlessly into systems where CameraLink

grabber is already used.Cameras with USB2.0 interface are the primechoice for mobile applications or for appli-cations with changing PCs, e.g. mobilemeasurement systems or educational experi-ments operated by a notebook.

A tabular overview of properties and connec-tion possibilities of the different interfaces isgiven on page 9.

The optical resolution of a line scan camera isgiven by the number of pixels (pictureelements), the photosensitive elements of theline sensor. Line scan cameras with up to 12000pixels are available. In case of a scanningmotion, the resolution perpendicular to the linescan camera is determined by the velocity ofscan and by the line scan frequency, i.e. by thenumber of line scans per second. With line scancameras, substantially higher resolutions arereached compared to conventional CCIR videocameras. In case of drum-supplied material andbelt conveyors etc., line scan cameras offer theadditional capability of continuous endless im-age acquisition.

The pixel frequency is the rate at which the freecharges are read out of the sensor. Themaximum pixel frequency is limited by theindividual sensor. The maximum pixel frequen-cy determines, combined with the number ofpixels (plus a sensor-dependant number ofpassive pixels), the minimum time required forthe read-out of a whole line scan the minimumexposure period.The reciprocal minimum exposure period is themaximum line frequency.At cameras with integration control function theintegration time within a exposure period canbe truncated (shutter).The maximum pixel and maximum line scan fre-quencies of the cameras available are shown inthe synoptical table on pages 10 and 11.

Color camerasseries ..KOC and..JRCColor sensor withRGB sensitivity. Incase of need thesensitivity of the ca-mera is confined to

the visible spectral range 400 - 700 nm by useof a UV/IR blocking filter (see page 40).

Schfter+Kirchhoff provides more than 50 dif-ferent line scan cameras with black&white sen-sors or with color sensors. The large variety ofcameras offers an appropriate line scan cam-era for all measuring tasks. An overview of linescan cameras available and their technical datais shown in the synoptical table on pages 10and 11. In addition to the criteria already noted,i.e. number of pixels, maximum line scan fre-quency, and type of interface, there are selec-tion criteria such as: Anti-blooming: Without anti-blooming sa-

turated pixels, which can not accumulateadditional charges, transfer surplauscharges, in case of further illumination, toneighboring pixels. Bright, overexposed re-gions of the line scan signal are broadened.Cameras with anti-blooming function drainthe charge excess (see below).

Integration control: Without integration con-trol the line scan frequency determines theexposure time: while charges of a finished linescan are read out, the next line scan isexposed. The minimum exposure time isattained at maximum line scan frequency.Integration control corresponds to the func-tion of a shutter. The accumulation of chargesis truncated previous to the finish of the linescan period. In case of high light intensities,over-exposures are avoided.

Dynamic range and digitalization depth:Depending on the sensor used, line scancameras are distinguished in their dynamicrange (signal to noise ratio). Some of thedigital line scan cameras can be operatedalternatively with 8 bit or 12 bit digitalizationdepth (in 12 bit mode two bytes are used perpixel, the maximum line scan frequency ishalved).

Remote gain-/offset control: Manycameras offer the capability of a softwarecontrolled setting of signal amplification onthe camera side. This is mainly useful for bal-ancing multiple line-synchronized line scancameras (e.g. using a merger box, see page22). At cameras without remote gain /offsetcontrol the internal camera signal amplifica-tion can be adjusted by a potentiometer atthe camera housing.

Spectral sensitivity: Especially in case oflaser-based measurement systems, thespectral sensitivity of the line scan camerahas to be accounted for (see below).

Comprehensive software assistance is avail-able for the start-up of cameras and the deve-lopment of user software. The operating soft-ware SkLineScan allows for a rapid start-up ofthe line scan camera systems. The oscillo-scopic display of line scan signals is an idealtool for adjustment of the line scan camera andfor alignment of the optics (see page 6). Withthe SkLineScan software all imaging parame-ters can be set and their effect on the camerasignal can be evaluated immediately. Acquisi-tion of two-dimensional images is possible infree-run mode or synchronized externally. For the development of user software,Schfter+Kirchhoff offers SDKs with DLLs andC++ class libraries for LVDS, GigE Vision andUSB2.0 cameras.Supported are the Windows operationsystems XP/2000/NT. For LVDS and USB2.0systems, Linux driver and tools are available(GigE VisionTM projected). In case of LVDS and analog cameras, down-ward compatibility to older Windows versionsand to DOS is maintained by software.For software development with LabView aVI-library is available. For developing user soft-ware for CameraLink systems the softwaredevelopment kit (SDK) of the grabber produceris utilized.Detailed information for software support isgiven on pages 8 as well as on page 13 (GigEVisionTM), page 15 (USB 2.0), page 17 (Camera-Link), and pages 24 - 25 (LVDS).

Depending on the active sensor length and onthe magnification used, different types of lensesare used:The table on page 10 and 11 gives a generalidea of appropriate lenses. More details, tech-nical data and formulas for lens selection aregiven on pages 37 to 40.Besides lenses, focus adapters and extensionrings are offered.If desired, we assist prospective customers intheir selection of optics. In most cases, fewparameters of the measuring task are sufficientfor recommending the most suitable opticalsystem.

The range of line scan cameras made bySchfter+ Kirchhoff is completed by com-prehensive industry-suitable mounting ac-cessories, e.g. filters and illumination optics aswell as cables and power supplies.

Pixels which are saturated caused by over-exposure, i.e. cannot accumulate morecharges, partly transfer their charges to neigh-boring pixels. This effect is called blooming.Blooming leads to corruption of thegeometrical mapping between signal andimage on the line sensor.

CCD line scan cameras with anti-bloomingsensor drain the charge surplus in case of over-exposure via a drain gate. Neighboring, lessexposed pixels are not filled any more.Depending on pixel frequency and spectralrange, overexposures up to a factor of 30 canbe drained.

Extreme over-exposure floods the darkpixels of the sensor. The cameras offsetcontrol is disturbed. The line scan ca-mera yields a lowered signal.

Start-up of CCD Line Scan Camera SystemsSystem adjustment with oscilloscopic display

Aperture setting and integration time

The sensor of a CCD line scan camera is one-dimensional. The image of a CCD line scancamera is made up of a single line and rep-resents the brightness profile of an objectline imaged to the sensor line. The oscillo-scopic display plots the digitized brightnessprofile versus the sensor length in a x/y-plotwith high refresh rate. The y-axis representsthe signal intensity and the x-axis the sen-sor pixels. The scaling of the y-axis dependson the resolution of the A/D converter at 8bit the scale covers 0 to 255, at 12 bit thescale covers 0 to 4095. The scaling of the x-axis corresponds to the pixel number in theline sensor.

The oscilloscopic diagram of the line scancamera is an ideal tool for tasks such as theadjustment of the lens aperture and integra-tion time, for focusing the image, evaluationof the object illumination, and aligning theline scan camera. Due to a high refresh ratechanges in the optical system and of thecamera settings are visible immediately.

In case of sensor lengths with up to 12000pixels, details in the signal plot are only visi-ble with a powerful zoom function. Magnifi-cation of one or several signal sectionsallows for a pixel-specific evaluation of theline scan signal (see figure at the right).

The oscilloscopic display as well as the easyto handle zoom function are integrated in theline scan camera operating software SkLine-Scan made by Schfter+Kirchhoff. Dialogboxes for camera parameter settings allowfor an interactive adjustment of the CCD linescan camera.

SkLineScan is part of the software packageavailable as versions for GigE VisionTM,LVDS, USB 2.0, and CameraLink line scancameras (see pages 8).

The strength of the line scan signal is ad-justed ideally, when in the brightest region ofthe object the corresponding signal equalsapprox. 95 % of the maximum signal. In thiscase, all available gray values (255 at 8 bitdigitizing, 4096 at 12 bit digitizing) are usedto full capacity and overexposure is avoidedas well.The intensity distribution of the line scansignal is affected by the illumination inten-sity, by the aperture setting, and the cameraintegration time. Beside the intensity, theaperture setting influences the depth of fieldand the quality of the image. In case of a large F-number (small aperture),the intensity is small and the depth of fieldlarge. In case of small F-number (large aper-ture) the intensity is large and the depth offield is small, see page 39, formula F8 andF9.In most cases best imaging quality isreached by closing the lens aperture by oneor two steps, see page 39, F11.

Integration time and signal intensity:

Insufficient gain of the camera signal. The set integration time is too short.Only about 130 of the 255 gray values available are used.

Good gain of the camera signal by increasing the integration time .The maximum signal peak uses about 95% of the gray values available.

Shading correction and white balance

Sensor Alignment

Lens focusing with the oscilloscopic signal plot

All lenses show vignetting, which depends onthe angle of field (see page 39, F10). Hence,even with homogeneous object illumination theimaged intensity decreases with increasing im-age height.

Shading correction (or flat field compensation)is used to compensate for lens vignetting aswell as for inhomogeneity of the illumination.For this purpose the object is temporarilycovered by a homogeneous white calibrationtarget. At initialization the shading correctiondetermines a gain for each individual pixel,scaling each value to a normalized maximumsignal. Accordingly, the oscilloscopic displayshows a homogeneous intensity distributionalong the entire line sensor.

In case of color line scan cameras, the shadingcorrection is used additionally for whitebalancing. The different sensitivities of thesensors individual color channels arecompensated for as well as inhomogeneouscolors of the illumination.

In the SkLineScan software, functions forshading correction and white balance are avai-lable for the user.

For software engineers, library functions forshading correction and for white balance areavailable in the SDKs for all interface systems.

To focus a line scan camera system, in principlethe oscilloscopic display is used, even in caseof two-dimensional measurement tasks. Toevaluate the focus, the edge steepness at dark-bright transitions and the modulation of the linescan signal are used (see figure on the right).Focusing is performed with completely openedaperture, in this case the depth of field is smalland the sensitivity of focus with change of focussetting large. If necessary, the signal amplitudehas to be trimmed, e.g. by shortening the inte-gration time.

All software products by Schfter+Kirchhoff include the softwareSkLineScan, with control and display functions particularly designed forline scan cameras. A substantial characteristic is the oscilloscopic dis-play of the line scan camera signal. With high repetition rate, theintensity is displayed against the pixels in an x-y-plot. Changes of theoptical system (focus, aperture stop) as well as the camera parameters(average time) become immediately visible. The program is an impor-tant tool for start-up and adjustment of the line scan camera system.The graphical user interface of the program is identical with all interfacesystems. For CameraLink line scan cameras the SkLineScan programis available for selected grabbers *).

For programming the line scan camerasand developing user applications,

Schfter+Kirchhoff suppliesan SDK for line scan cameras

with GigE, USB 2.0, andLVDS interface. For linescan cameras with Cam-eraLink interfaces, theSDK of the grabber manu-

facturer*) has to be used.The SDK contains the class

library Csk for C++ as well asAPI DLLs. The function names are

to a large extent alike between the dif-ferent interface systems, so that porting between the systems is easilypossible. The provided sample programs in C/C++ can be used as tem-plates for the development of own applications. Source comments anda manual facilitate the programming of the cameras.

Functions in the SkLineScan program

VI library for LabVIEW, NI Vision integration

An extensive VI library supports the control of line cameras with GigE,USB 2.0 and LVDS interface under LabVIEW. With a few clicks a linescan camera application can be built. For use of the VI library, therespective driver is required.For signal and image processing, the VIs and/or routines of the NI Visionsoftware can be integrated in line scan camera applications.

CCD-Line Scan Camera with Vision InterfaceThe standard GigE Vision uses the large bandwidth of the Gigabit Ethernet of 1000 Mbit/s fora fast and secure transfer of video and control data between camera and PC. Transfer distancesup to 100 m are possible. Data acquisition is performed in the PC or in a laptop. An additionalframe grabber is not required. All GigE Vision line scan cameras made by Schfter+Kirchhoffcan be synchronized externally.In multi-cast mode, networking of several cameras and distribution of image data to several net-worked computers offers a large variety of new possibilities for industrial imaging processing.The capability of Gigabit Ethernet and the use of low-priced and commonly used network com-ponents make the GigE Vision standard very interesting for the industrial image acquisitionand automation.

Digital monochrome line scan cameras with 512 to 12000 pixels per line andwith 8 bit or 12 bit resolution. Data transmission is realized with a maximum

data rate of 60 MHz. The cameras are primarily equipped with anti-blooming and integrationcontrol function.

Digital b/w line scan cameras with TDI sensors. The sensors are working at 4096pixels per line, and 96 stages. The resolution of the video signal amounts to 8

bit, the maximum data rate reaches 60 MHz. The cameras are characterizedby their anti-blooming feature and a very high dynamic range. Due to theirworking principle, the TDI cameras have a sensitivity nearly 100 times highercompared to conventional line scan cameras.

mono-chrome

The software packageSK91GigE-WIN for Win-dows XP/2000 includesthe SkLineScan soft-ware for a rapid startup ofthe GigE Vision camera,the configuration toolSKGigEConfig, as well asa software developmentkit (SDK) with DLLs andclass libraries for deve-lopment of applicationsoftware. The SkLineScan soft-ware automatically recog-

nizes the connected line scan cameras. The oscilloscopic display of the line scan signal withzoom function is an important tool for aligning the optical system. Non-modal dialogs for thecontrol of integration time, gain and offset settings allow the online configuration of the camera.The SDK with DLLs and a class library for C++ offers easy to handle methods for the develop-ment of user software. Example codes and documented source codes of the operating programshelp getting started with programming.

With the configurationprogram SkGigEconfigthe GigE line scan cameraparameters e.g. gain, off-set, and pixel frequencyare adjusted by cameracommands. Furthermorecurrent parameters aswell as specific productinformation can be readout from the camera.The parameter settingsare stored on the camera

board and remain valid for the next operation even after shut down.

LINE-SYNC Modiintern Mod. 0: FreeRun. The camera boardinternally controls the trigger point and theexposure time of the line scan. After com-pletion of the line scan the next scan isstarted automatically.extern Mod. 1: The line scan exposed at thetime of the external trigger is read out. Startand time of exposure are controlled inter-nally by the camera. The exposure time isprogrammed before. The trigger clock doesnot affect the exposure time.extern Mod. 4: A new exposure ist startedexactly at the time of triggering. The expo-sure time programmed is not affected by thetrigger clock.Sync divider: Divides the external triggerfrequency by a programmed integer. Onlyevery n-th line is recorded.

FRAME-SYNC Mode In addition, the GigE line scan cameras havean external frame synchronization (FRAME-SYNC) for synchronized acquisition of 2Dscans. The individual line scans aresynchronized internally or externally.The camera suppresses the data transferuntil a falling edge of a TTL signal occurs atFrameStart input. (controlled, e.g. by a lightbarrier). Not until then is the VideoValid set to ac-tive and the entire image data transferred viaGigE to the PC memory.

Installation of the USB line scan camera

When connecting the USB line scan camera tothe PC or notebook for the first time, the hard-ware manager requests the installation of a dri-ver for the camera. After inserting the CD SK91USB-WIN thehardware assistant finds the driver by itself. Thecamera is installed correctly whenSchaefter+Kirchhoff CCD Line Scan Cam-era is registered in the hardware assistant inthe category device type USB Controller.

LabVIEW for USB Line Scan Cameras

LabVIEW VI libraryand applications, NI Vision support

The software packages SK91USB-WIN andSK91USB-LX for Windows XP/2000 and Linux,respectively, include the SkLineScan soft-ware for instant startup of the USB line scancamera, as well as a software development kit(SDK). The SDK with DLLs and a class libraryfor C++ offers easy to handle methods for thedevelopment of user applications.The provided sample programs in C/C++ canbe used as templates for the development ofown applications. Source comments and amanual facilitate the programming of the

With USB line scan cameras, the continuousacquisition and evaluation of scans is limited,since the data transfer via the USB bus requiresapprox. 16% CPU load.

Mode 0: Free-Run. After completion of theline scan the next scan is started automa-tically.Mode 1: External synchronization. At thetime of an external trigger, readout of the linescan previously exposed is performed. Startand time of exposure are controlled inter-nally by the camera. The trigger clock doesnot affect the exposure time. Mode 3: The camera exposure is started bya software operation.Mode 4: The exposure period starts exact-ly with a falling edge of the TTL signal. Thetrigger clock does not affect the exposuretime.

For the camera operation and development of application software, the software developmentkit (SDK) of the grabber manufacturer has to be used. Generally, common CameraLink grabbersand their associated software are mainly designed for area cameras and do not support line scandiagrams. For selected grabbers, Schfter+Kirchhoff supplies the operating program SkLineS-can with oscilloscopic display for plotting line scan signals with zoom function and for onlinecamera parameter setting in order to set up the optical system conveniently. Reference grabber:National Instruments PCI-1428, CORECO X64-CL iPro, microEnable III, SiliconSoftware.

Oscilloscopic display:Tool for the adjustment offocus and aperture set-ting, as well as for evalu-ating the field flatteningof the lens. Zoom func-tion for the display ofeach individual pixel. Op-tionally: Adaptation ofSkLineScan to otherCameraLink grabbers ispossible.

Camera commands

With the configurationprogram SkCLConfig bySchfter+Kirchhoff, linescan camera parameters,e.g. gain, offset, and pixelfrequency, are adjustedvia serial interface of theCameraLink interface.For this the software usesthe clser***.dll, which isattached to all Camera-Link grabbers. In case theprogram finds differentclser*.dll installed before,the desired DLL is chosenwith select. The para-

meter settings are stored on camera board and remain valid for the next operation even aftershut down. The software SkCLConfig is included in the shipment of the camera.
