Abstract

A machine vision system and method use lensless near-contact imaging with coherent illumination, or incoherent illumination, and high pixel count large format sensors (e.g., equivalent to at least 20 to 65 mega-pixels) to produce diffraction patterns of the micro-objects or the gray scale images of the micro-objects over a large overall field-of-view of the machine vision system. The machine vision system provides feedback to a microassembler system to position, orient, and assemble microscale devices like micro-LEDs over large working areas. The effective resolution of the machine vision system can be further improved through the use of gray scale and super-resolution image processing techniques.
