Abstract:
1. A long-length industry camera image sensor (LICIS) for flat surface inspection application, the LICIS functions to, expressed in an X-Y-Z Cartesian coordinate system, photoelectrically convert a pixel line image (PLI) of length L PL oriented along the X-direction into a corresponding line image signal (LIS), the LICIS comprises: a) a full-width linear image sensor (FLIS) of length L b) a full-width linear rod lens (FLRL) of length L the LICIS, with no built-in interior light source, senses a PLI of length L PL longer than that of a single sensor board segment via the combination of: inter-linear sensor integrated circuit image stitching on each base board BB inter-base board image stitching on the multi-segment stitched sensor base board SSBB.
