Today there is a wide variety of lighting sources, types, geometries, and wavelengths available for vision engineers to apply, often with more than one type or geometry functioning adequately. But with the many overlapping choices, how do we determine whether a lighting solution is, or is not, truly “good enough”?

Not all surfaces respond similarly to standard direct illumination techniques. Surface color, texture, shape, and composition can all influence where and how much of the incident light is reflected into a vision camera, greatly affecting the inspection results. Read on for our example of inspecting a cylindrical surface.
