Our patent, US12094097B2, granted on September 17, 2024, represents a significant leap forward in advanced optical and imaging systems. This patent focuses on refining the precision of machine vision systems, particularly in industries requiring high-level accuracy in detecting surface anomalies and variations in texture or color.

At the core of our invention is an innovative imaging system that utilizes multiple, adjustable light sources. These lights are positioned around the object being inspected, allowing us to manipulate the angle, intensity, and wavelength of the light. This versatility ensures that the object is illuminated uniformly, which is critical for capturing high-quality images that reveal even the smallest imperfections.

Our system also integrates a high-definition camera that works in conjunction with advanced image processing algorithms. These algorithms analyze the images in real-time, measuring attributes such as color consistency, surface texture, and structural integrity. This real-time analysis provides immediate feedback, making it particularly valuable for applications in manufacturing and quality control, where timely decision-making is crucial.

What sets our system apart is its ability to adapt to different surface types—whether reflective, matte, or textured. This adaptability ensures that we can assess a wide variety of materials with high precision, something traditional systems struggle with. Additionally, the multi-spectral capabilities of our system allow us to examine objects under different wavelengths of light, providing deeper insights into material properties that are invisible under standard lighting.

In summary, this patent is a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of machine vision technology. It provides industries with a flexible, reliable, and precise tool for optical inspection, setting new standards in performance and accuracy.
