QUADLINE: A novel micro mark register head camera based on an ultra high speed multi-linear image sensor

Abstract (German)

This project targets the development of a novel smart and high-speed camera for register control and color density measurements in printing and packaging machines. The camera will enable the real-time capture and processing of color 2D images at up to 200‟000 images/s, in particular for the identification and accurate localization of low contrasted micro mark patterns in register control systems. The system will also provide a ¿2 D¿ color display to the operator. The camera has to fulfill stringent requirements in terms of performances (speed, sensitivity, small form factor) while being able to operate in an explosive environment (ATEX requirements).
