Radiant Honored by Vision Systems Design 2019 Innovators Awards Program

REDMOND, Wash. – April 8, 2019 — On April 8, Radiant Vision Systems—a leading provider of visual test and inspection solutions for lighting and display devices—was presented with a Silver-level award in the “Cameras – non-visible” category at the Fifth Annual Vision Systems Design Innovators Awards presentation, held during Automate in Chicago, IL. Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens was recognized by a panel of esteemed experts from system integrator and end-user companies.

Release on January 7, 2019, Radiant’s Near-Infrared (NIR) Intensity Lens is designed to measure radiant intensity of angular light distributions and patterns produce by NIR LED and laser sources used in non-visible 3D sensing applications. Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens is mounted directly to a Radiant ProMetric® Y16 (16-megapixel) Imaging Radiometer and employs Fourier optics to enable single-image analysis of the full angular distribution of a NIR light source to ±70 degrees. The Radiant NIR Intensity Lens greatly reduces the time and complexity of comprehensive NIR source characterization, enabling production-level analysis.

“Traditional methods for angular light measurement—such as goniometric systems—capture comprehensive angular distribution data, but may take hours for a complete analysis,” says Doug Kreysar, Executive Vice President and Chief Solutions Officer at Radiant Vision Systems. “The NIR Intensity Lens is able to capture the complete three-dimensional distribution of NIR light in a two-dimensional image for light source analysis in less than a second—even evaluating tens of thousands of emission points in structured light patterns produced by diffractive optical elements, common in facial recognition applications. We are honored to receive Vision Systems Design’s Innovators Award in recognition of this engineering effort, which provides the first commercially available Fourier optic solution for NIR measurement.”

Alan Bergstein, publisher of Vision Systems Design (http://www.vision-systems.com) said, “This prestigious program allows Vision Systems Design to celebrate and recognize the most innovative products and services in the vision and image processing industry. Our 2019 Honorees are an outstanding example of companies who are making an impact in the industry.”
