VIDEO IMAGING INSPECTION SYSTEM

摘要

A video imaging inspection system comprising an integral solid-state essentially maintenance-free video imaging device containing means for uniform multiwavelength illumination by one or more single or multiwavelength LEDs, an imaging array sensor, a lens system for acquiring an image of an object, portable image reader unit (PIR) containing a power source, signal conditioning and processing electronics and means for creating a color or false color multi-spectral video image of the object, and means for evaluating it. The system can contain a black and white or color image sensor which is a solid state imaging sensor array. There is also provided a method for the production and evaluating of an image of an object located in a compartment or facility with difficult accessibility, which comprises illuminating the object by a uniform multiwavelength beam, sensing the image by an imaging array sensor, and by a lens system, the illumination being by at least one or more single or multiwavelength LEDs, which can be activated at will and which are connected to a portable image reader unit (PIR) comprising of a power source and signal conditioning and processing electronics and means for creating a color or false color multi-spectral video image of the object, and for evaluating it, thus obtaining the desired image of the object, and evaluating such image. Also fluorescent emissions from suitable objects can be imaged.
