49 Explanation of Measuring Principle Measuring Principle The VIVID 9i uses the light-stripe method to emit a horizon tal stripe light through a cy lindrical lens to the ob- ject. The reflected light from the object is received by the CCD, and then converted by triangulation into dis- tance information. This process is repeated by scanning the stri[...]

50 Explanation of Me asuring Principle High-Speed Image Processing Circuit The stripe light is sca nned on the CCD image plane at one hori zontal line per frame, and the CCD is driven so that the block readout start position is shifted one line per frame. Approximately 600 frames are acquired. · CCD drive rate: 12.5MHz · Block readout: 125 lines [...]
