Photometric Inspection System
Development of a modular camera and lighting system for capturing components under multiple controlled illumination directions. A web interface enables live viewing, light control, image acquisition, session management, and later surface reconstruction.
Overview
This project develops a modular photometric capture system: components are imaged under multiple controlled illumination directions and the acquisition is operated through a dedicated web interface.
Challenge
Surface defects and geometric detail are often only visible under specific lighting directions, and manually operating a multi-light rig for each capture is slow and error-prone.
Solution
A camera and multi-directional lighting rig is controlled through a FastAPI backend and a Next.js web interface, allowing live viewing, light sequencing, image acquisition, and session management from a browser.
Implementation
- Selection and integration of an Allied Vision camera
- Design of a controlled, multi-directional lighting rig
- FastAPI backend for hardware control and image acquisition
- Next.js web interface for live viewing and session management
- Image processing pipeline for captured sequences
