A technique for creating two-dimensional images from a single sensor element is known as a lPrism-based Line Scan Camera. A fast spinning mirror or prism is typically placed in front of the sensor to give scanning in one direction, and the movement of the recording medium—often photographic film—provides scanning in the opposite direction.
They vary greatly in form and function, but conceptually they are comparable to drum scanners. Examples of such systems include the Corona spy satellites’ technology, which produced a sequence of stripes by pulling film through a telescope that moved side to side.
The Global Prism-based Line Scan Camera market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A new Prism-based Line Scan Camera has been introduced by AI as part of a brand-new camera series called The Wave Series. Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) light can be detected by the multi-sensor, Prism-based Line Scan Camera. A dual-sensor line scan camera with 2 x 1024 pixels and a Camera Link interface makes up the new camera model, WA-1000D-CL.
The camera uses Indium/Gallium/Arsenide (InGaAs) sensor technology because conventional silicon sensors (CCD/CMOS) are unable to detect light photons at wavelengths beyond 900 nm.JAI’s primary competency is multi-sensor camera technology, and over the years, JAI has provided RGB and NIR cameras for a variety of applications. The new Wave Series camera utilizes multi-sensor imaging from JAI for SWIR.
Even when objects are moving quickly, the WA-1000D-CL simultaneously acquires and perfectly aligns images of two separate spectral bands in the SWIR light spectrum. While sensor two simultaneously records SWIR light in the spectral band from 1400 nm to 1700 nm, sensor one registers SWIR light in the range of 900 to 1400 nm.
Being able to take use of the fact that different chemical components absorb SWIR light at varying rates depending on its wavelength is one benefit of splitting the SWIR light between two distinct sensors. For certain items or materials in the two photographs, the variations in light absorption levels result in variations in brightness and blackness, which can be utilized as inspection criteria.
