System design
The EMG iCAM® system consists of an LED backlight unit ("emitter unit") below the metal strip and a camera unit above the strip, consisting of several CMOS cameras, as receiver unit. The standard strip width is 300 mm to 2,950 mm and is scalable in steps of 250 mm (other strip widths on request).
The LED backlight unit emits infrared light in a defined spectral range in the direction of the strip. This is selected in such a way that a maximum reduction of the influence of extraneous light sources is achieved.
The light from the LED backlighting unit is shaded by the metal strip and only in the areas of the strip edges does light pass through, which is detected by the CMOS cameras. Modeled after human eyes, two adjacent cameras each capture the identical position of photons on the strip from two different directions emitted by the LED backlight unit. This measuring principle is based on the stereo vision concept.
