Abstract
A long-length industry camera image sensor (LICIS) is proposed for, expressed in X-Y-Z coordinates, converting a pixel line image (PLI) of length Lalong X-direction into a line image signal (LIS). The LICIS includes a full-width linear image sensor (FLIS) of length Lalong X-direction and displaced from the PLI along Z-direction by an imaging distance Dfor converting an incident line image (ILI) impinging upon its FLIS top surface into the LIS. Where Lis about equal to L. The LICIS also has a full-width linear rod lens (FLRL) of length Lalong X-direction and displaced from the PLI in Z-direction by a working distance D. Where Lis about equal to Land Dis selected such that the PLI gets focused by the FLRL into the ILI at the FLIS top surface with an imaging magnification factor of about 1:1.
