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 />

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
