I need a small system to project and detect: I need to project our company logo and detect if anyone steps on the logo. In other words, I'm looking for an integrator that can specify a system that can detect movement across a 3 foot diameter circle located about 7 feet away.

Josh, I suggest a standard projector and one of those deer hunting wild game cameras used by sportsmen. As an alternative, a PC with a projector and a USB camera would also do the job. Call to discuss further. Thanks, David

I want to know if using your products, can I check the quality of heat transfer product? For example, I want to check if the characters are missing or incompletely printed or the thickness of the printed adhesive layers, etc.

Madhavi, there are two unique requirements indicated in your request. First is a simple quality check which could be accomplished by capturing a consistent and quality image then running it through an OCR (optical character recognition) software available from companies like MvTec Halcon or equivalent. Second requirement is to validate the thickness of the printed ink which would require a high-precision 3D image using 2 or more very high-resolution cameras. A number of variables will be needed including your thickness and more specifically your +/- tolerance before we could calculate working resolution. Please feel free to send your specifications to me for further assistance.

Sir, Our line scan sensors are widely used in print inspection for many different printing techniques. However our sensors provide you the raw image, so you would need to embed them in a camera and combine with an image processing machine doing, e.g.; completeness check or OCR. Feel free to contact us directly if you should need some help to find a partner that can integrate our linescan sensors into a camera or a complete application for you.
