Project description
Industrial modular calibration system for polarisation imagers
Recent advancements across various sectors have led to the revolutionary development of polarisation-sensitive cameras, which are now entering mass markets and seeing widespread adoption. However, the ERC Synergy project CloudCT revealed significant calibration gaps in these cameras, resulting in degraded imaging data in downstream applications and severely limiting their potential. The ERC-funded IPIC project aims to develop an innovative system for the fast, reliable, and user-friendly modular calibration of such imagers. Building on the knowledge and experience gained in the previous project, IPIC will create a system designed for industrial use while maintaining high efficiency and quality. Ultimately, the project will develop a reliable calibration system to enhance imaging performance.
Objective
In recent years, there has been a revolution in imaging, with a new generation of polarization-sensitive cameras entering mass markets. As we have found out in our ERC-Synergy project (CloudCT), there is a gap in calibrating such cameras. This leads to degraded imaging data in downstream applications, preventing such cameras from reaching their full potential. We will develop a system for modular calibration of such imagers, that would be fast, easy to use and reliable under harsh working conditions, while generalizing the imaging capabilities of previous camera generations. In our ERC-Synergy CloudCT project, we developed an automated research-grade calibration system for polarization sensitive cameras on a small scale. In the PoC project, we aim to make a system which better suits industrial operation, harnessing our expertise in software development, optomechanics and environmental control. In addition, we will explore the commercialization potential of our calibration system in relevant markets. Our calibration system will significantly enhance quality control using industrial calibrated polarimetric imagers, as used in inspection of displays, circuits, automotive sensors and airborne and spaceborne cameras.
