It can be applied to automatic industrial inspection systems, e.g., those used for chromatic classification of ceramic floor tiles. Improvement in the existing system’s performance is achieved by using a collimated beam, as shown by both photometric analysis and experimental results. This system has been implemented as part of a real-time controlling tool in a production line.engLineal illuminating system for automatic x-y graphic colorimetric and texture testingjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1364/AO.37.001820http://www.opticsinfobase.orgopen access535OpticsÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
