SINE Sinusoidal Vision Demonstration Array

Applied Image, Inc.

Applied Image, Inc.

The Sinusoidal Visual Demonstration Array is designed to demonstrate the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of the human eye. Its transmittance varies sinusoidally and increases in spatial frequency from 0.2 to 20 c/mm, following a logrithmic scale. The modulation increases linearly from top to bottom. One can see, in the image, where the visual contrast contour disappears which is the MTF of the eye. Ideally suited for teaching and demonstration, the Array is available on film mounted in glass (-G), or mounted in a 2″x 2″ projection slide.(-SL)

SINE M-15-60 Sinusoidal Array

Applied Image, Inc.

Applied Image, Inc.

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.

ACCUplace Dot Patterns

AP-D Series

Applied Image, Inc.

AP-D Series - Applied Image, Inc.

All machine vision lenses will show some type of distortion. Minimizing or correcting that distortion is crucial in most applications. The ACCUplace Dot Patterns target is designed to check, verify, or quantify barrel distortion in vision systems, alignment between multiple optical systems, and can calibrate instruments with both vision and motion systems. The indexed columns and rows of dot features provide reference points that make alignment and distortion detection simple and straightforward. The AP-D is offered on four standard materials; Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).

SINE (Sinusoidal) Targets & Arrays

Applied Image, Inc.

Applied Image, Inc.

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.

SINE FBI Charts

Applied Image, Inc.

Applied Image, Inc.

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.

SINE M-19 Sinusoidal Array

Applied Image, Inc.

Applied Image, Inc.

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).
