Figure 3.6: Parameters that influence the field of view (FoV) of a camera. θ indicates the<br />
angle of view of the optical system, d the distance between lens and conveyor, O the object<br />
size, V is the size of the region on the conveyor that is imaged, and L representing the size of<br />
the measuring area depending on the current tube size. The goal is to find a lens that yields<br />
afieldofviewsuchasV ≈ L at short distance.<br />

Table 3.1: Different commercial machine vision lenses and there specifications including focal<br />
length f, horizontal angle of view θ (in degrees) with respect to an 1/2” sensor, and minimum<br />
object distance dmin respectively.<br />
where θrad represents the angle of view θ in radians. Using this equation one can<br />
compute the length of the conveyor that is imaged in horizontal direction at the minimum<br />
object distance of a lens. The results can be found in Table 3.2.<br />
This shows, none of the compared lenses is able to image small objects (< 30mm) in<br />
focus onto the camera sensor in a way that the object covers about half the full image<br />
width. Thus, the minimum tube size that can be inspected at full resolution under this<br />
assumption is 30mm. However, if one shrinks the image width manually (for example<br />
using the AOI function of the camera), the constraints can be reached even for tubes<br />
below 30mm.<br />
The real world representation s of one pixel in the image plane can be approximated as<br />
follows:<br />
s = V<br />
Wimg<br />
(3.6)<br />
where Wimg represents the image width in pixels. For example, for a 16mm focal<br />
length lens and a working distance of 250mm, one pixel represents about 0.12mm at this<br />
distance in the real world if the image resolution is 780 in horizontal direction. At the same<br />
distance, a 25mm focal length lens yields a pixel representation of about 0.08mm at the
