Flash strobe principle description

Using a single line-scan camera combined with multi-light-source flashing technology, multiple lighting effects can be obtained within a single scan. The principle is based on an FPGA performing real-time synchronized control of each camera’s exposure and the on/off timing of each light source.

For example, when using two light sources, the camera captures two images at the same encoder position—each triggered by a different light source. By separating odd lines (Light Source A) and even lines (Light Source B), two distinct optical-effect images can be extracted (as shown in the demonstration video below).

With this method, a single line-scan camera plus multiple light sources can generate various imaging effects in one pass, significantly reducing the cost and space required compared with traditional multi-station configurations. Long-term validation has confirmed that there is no residual brightness interference between these lighting effects.

Multi-Effect Illumination	A: Bright-field + B: Dark-field	Utilizes both bright and dark field imaging to inspect defects with different characteristics simultaneously.
Polarized Imaging	Camera w/ Filter + 4 Sources (A, B, C, D)	Captures four 90° polarized angle images in one pass by combining a polarized camera with light sources at different angles.
PCB Inspection	A: NIR + B: Visible Light	Visible light is used for surface inspection, while NIR transmission images are used to inspect internal PCB traces.
Line Scan HDR Imaging	FPGA Pulse Width Control	Controls illumination pulse width to capture images at different brightness levels, then performs real-time HDR fusion via FPGA.
