H8 Line Scan Width Measurements
With a little ingenuity, a CCD line scan camera can be used to measure objects. An H8/3067 microcontroller controls the timing for driving the CCD line scan as well as the analog processing to convert an image to a binary TTL signal. The signal represents the width of the object relative to the pixels in a one-line image. By synchronizing the timing of the binary image signal and the timing signals, it is possible to use the edges of the signals to count the number of pixels across the image. This tells you where the object starts and ends, effectively measuring it.
