  • OPTICAL SPRAY PATTERN IMAGING APPARATUS INCLUDING PERMANENTLY INTEGRATED LIGHT PLANE AND IMAGE CAPTURE COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20250089227
    Abstract: A pre-calibrated spray plane image acquisition device is described that includes, in a single fixed-form structure, both an image capture component configured to acquire an optical image of a field of view and a light plane generator configured to generate a planar light plane emitted from the pre-calibrated spray plane image acquisition device. A carrier frame structure includes rigid components for permanently maintaining the image capture component and the light plane generator in respective positions defining a permanent spatial relationship between the field of view of the image capture component and the light plane generated by the light plane generator.
    Type: Application
