Title: An apparatus and method for providing snapshot action thermal infrared imaging within automated process control article inspection applicationsApplicant: Pressco Tech Inc (US)Patent number: MXPA03010637Publication date: 6 December 2004
This application relates to an apparatus and method for providing snapshot action thermal infrared imaging within automated process control article inspection applications. More specifically, it pertains to the use of snapshot mode lead salt area-array imaging sensors as the imaging front- end in high-speed machine vision inspection systems. The relatively low- cost, good measurement sensitivity at temperatures consistent with thermo- electric cooling means, and the ability to be operated in snapshot mode enables lead salt-based image acquisition sensors to be used in a variety of automated process control and article inspection applications.
