 High-speed control of lighting direction
LumiTraxTM
Accurately extract changes in shape

Using high-speed synchronization of the CMOS sensor and lighting direction, this
imaging method generates shape (irregularity) images and texture (surface pattern)
images by analyzing multiple image captures illuminated from different directions.

Pattern Dent

The brightness of depressed locations changes according to the direction of the lighting.
Patterned areas are flat, so there is little change in brightness.

The changes in light intensity of each pixel among the different images are analyzed to split the shapes
(irregularities) and textures (pattern) into separate images.

Applications
Multi-spectrum imaging to differentiate subtle color differences

❚ Debris within automotive parts ❚ Check for burning on instant noodles

Specific colors can be extracted from similar colorings. Burns can be extracted separately from density changes due to
overlapping noodles.

Shape images and texture images can also be created by illuminating each of the 8 individual color LEDs separately (LumiTraxTM mode)

❚ Inspection of text on film ❚ Inspection of package opening perforations

Imaging with only text clearly captured is possible. Because just the shape can be captured, inspection is possible even
when there is a background pattern.

Pre-processing/filter processing

Worry-Free Image Optimization Algorithms

A total of 37 different types of filter processing are available for use. Filter processing* with KEYENCE's unique algorithms
is performed on the image processing unit itself, allowing for a reduced load on the computer.
*Please refer to Page 20 for a list of the available filter processes.

Effective for linear defect inspection when there is

Contrast expansion ❚ Inspection of all types of circuit board patterns

By expanding the contrast distribution within the

inspection range, the image is converted to one with
better contrast differences. This solves the problem
of unstable inspections due to insufficient gradation
for image processing as a result of the target's
reflectiveness.
The location is at the back of the workpiece, so the The circuit board pattern can be clearly recognized. Because the

Useful utilities are built-in to handle a variety of situations and requirements.

Target misalignment ❚ Captured image ❚ Image output to computer

Position adjustment
If the target position is misaligned, the image is
corrected before being output. Because the output
