18 MP camera accuracy


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

I have a question regarding the camera that we have available.
We have a 18 MP camera and we are interested in measuring crack widths of 0.05 mm.

Is the following reasoning correct?
o             5184 * 3456 ≈ 18.0 MP

o             Measure crack width of 0.05 mm

o             Width camera image : 5184 * 0.05 = 259.2 mm

o             Height camera image: 3456 * 0.05 = 172.8 mm

 

Is a 18 MP camera of good quality for measurements from 0.05 mm accuracy?

 

Looking forward to your reply!

Sounds like you're talking about measuring system  displacement resolution or accuracy. The 3D fixed base sensors are accurate to 1/100th of a pixel in plane and 1/30th of a pixel out of plane.  Using the more conservative 1/30th value,  the equation to use is:

FOV [length] / Camera Resolution [px] * 0.033[px] = displacement resolution [length]

 

You can also substitute the calibration deviation for the 0.033 px to get your actual system's accuracy
