The right lighting in a computer vision setup significantly impacts image processing results. Here, we explain the key factors that contribute to optimal lighting.

Coherent light refers to light waves that have a constant phase relationship, meaning they oscillate in unison and maintain a fixed difference in phase. This property allows coherent light to produce clear and stable interference patterns, making it essential for various applications in optics, such as lasers and holography.

Our Lighting Advisor provides individual product recommendations by guiding you step by step to a selection of suitable lighting and components. Select the lighting for your vision system as early as possible during your design process.

Incoherent light: Light that consists of waves with random phases, leading to a lack of consistent interference patterns and often producing a softer, less focused beam.

Ring lights are suitable for many different image processing tasks. They are most commonly used as a bright field configuration in the inspection of matte, non-reflective materials.

Interference: The phenomenon that occurs when two or more coherent light waves overlap, leading to a pattern of constructive and destructive interference.

It can be challenging to select the right illumination for your application. With the wide range of lighting options on the market, it is crucial to choose the right illumination early in the design phase to save cost and integration efforts. But how do you select the optimal lighting type for your vision application?

The right illumination is critical in a vision system. Properly combining lighting with the camera and lens ensures the best possible results in your application.

Laser: A device that produces coherent light through the stimulated emission of radiation, resulting in highly focused and monochromatic beams.
