COPLANAR CAMERA SCANNING SYSTEM

摘要

A system for scanning objects having a linear array sensor, adapted to detec t light input signals, is provided. A lens is optically connected to the linea r array sensor, and is adapted to receive and transmit an optical image locate d in a field of view along a lens axis to the linear array sensor. A light source which generates an illumination stripe in general linear alignment wi th the lens axis is provided. A cylindrical lens is positioned between the ligh t source and an object to be scanned. The cylindrical lens adapted to collect, transmit and focus light from the light source to form the illumination stri pe.
