Abstract

Prototyping of frontend lighting speeds its optimization in machine vision system development. An illuminator is presented for evaluating lighting which permits quick and precise control of light source azimuth and elevation and optionally size and polarization. Object orientation is independently controllable. The illuminator permits interactive evaluation of lighting effects upon the image. Examples illustrate the illumination of threedimensional objects and the effects of source size.
