ACCUplace BullsEye /Recognition Grid
AP-B Series
-
A unique concept in imaging calibration technology, The ACCUplace Bulls Eye / Recognition Grid allows the end user to calibrate magnification at multiple power levels, as well as test the system’s ability to recognize and locate distinctive shapes within shapes by focusing on the concentric circles.Each Bulls Eye / Recognition Grid target has individual patterns consisting of 5 concentric circles with 0.50mm line width and 0.50mm spacing between circles (10mm Pitch) with a 0.100mm center dot. In addition, each row and column is labeled with X & Y coordinates. The AP-B series is offered on four standard substrates; Chrome on Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).

ACCUplace Dot Patterns
AP-D Series
-
All machine vision lenses will show some type of distortion. Minimizing or correcting that distortion is crucial in most applications. The ACCUplace Dot Patterns target is designed to check, verify, or quantify barrel distortion in vision systems, alignment between multiple optical systems, and can calibrate instruments with both vision and motion systems. The indexed columns and rows of dot features provide reference points that make alignment and distortion detection simple and straightforward. The AP-D is offered on four standard materials; Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).

USAF Targets
-
These targets conform to MIL-STD-150A. Frequencies change by the 6th root of 2. This target is also available in custom sizes and contrasts. This test target meets requirements as specified in MIL-STD-150A for resolving power tests. The target consists of a series of Elements having two sets of lines at right angles. Each set of lines consists of three lines separated by spaces equal to the line width. Each bar has a length to width ratio of 5:1. (Line width is equal to one half of line pitch, which is the inverse of line frequency.) Elements are arranged in groups of six each and Groups are arranged in pairs. Even numbered Groups occupy the left side and bottom right corner and contain a square feature having and edge length equal to the line length of Element 2 in that group. Odd numbered Groups occupy the top right corner and side. Groups and Elements are labeled and differentiated by numbering adjacent to their features. Frequencies in cycles/mm (c/mm) increase between each Element by the sixth root of two (approximately 12.25% per step). The general formula for the line frequency of any target Element can be expressed as 2Group+(Element-1)/6.

Barcode Conformance Calibration Standards
-
Barcode symbol quality has been at the forefront of discussion among practitioners in the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) industry since they were invented in 1951. Barcodes became commercially successful when they were used to automate checkout systems at grocery stores, with the very first scanning of the Universal Product Code (UPC) on a pack of Wrigley Company chewing gum in June 1974. The Uniform Code Council (UCC) published barcode quality guidelines, and ANSI X3.182-1990 became the first published standard for barcode quality. Since then, ISO/IEC 15416 for 1D symbols and ISO/IEC 15415 for 2D symbols have become the global standards for grading printed barcodes.
