Product details

Perhaps the most common example of line scan imaging is the fax machine. Line scan imaging uses a single line of sensor pixels (effectively one-dimensional) to build up a two-dimensional image. The second dimension results from the motion of the object being imaged. Two-dimensional images are acquired line by line by successive single-line scans while the object moves (perpendicularly) past the line of pixels in the image sensor.

For a given field of view, one line scan camera typically provides more resolution than multiple area scan cameras, at a lower cost, without image smear or the redundant processing of frame overlaps.
