SINE M-5 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-5 is made on a strip of 70mm film approximately 5.12 inches (130mm) in length.The upper row contains the sinusoidal areas with the spatial frequencies in cycles per mm. All sinusoidal areas are carefully oriented with respect to the others, and the lines at the left end of the array have been added for alignment purposes.

USAF Targets
-
These targets conform to MIL-STD-150A. Frequencies change by the 6th root of 2. This target is also available in custom sizes and contrasts. This test target meets requirements as specified in MIL-STD-150A for resolving power tests. The target consists of a series of Elements having two sets of lines at right angles. Each set of lines consists of three lines separated by spaces equal to the line width. Each bar has a length to width ratio of 5:1. (Line width is equal to one half of line pitch, which is the inverse of line frequency.) Elements are arranged in groups of six each and Groups are arranged in pairs. Even numbered Groups occupy the left side and bottom right corner and contain a square feature having and edge length equal to the line length of Element 2 in that group. Odd numbered Groups occupy the top right corner and side. Groups and Elements are labeled and differentiated by numbering adjacent to their features. Frequencies in cycles/mm (c/mm) increase between each Element by the sixth root of two (approximately 12.25% per step). The general formula for the line frequency of any target Element can be expressed as 2Group+(Element-1)/6.

SINE M-7 Sinusoidal Array
-
The Sinusoidal Array SINE M-7 has an image size of 22mm x 30mm which makes it small enough to fit into a standard 35mm projection frame. The gray scale is contained in the outer rows. It is made on 35mm perforated film.The TM-G variations are produced on a wider film (without perforations) and cemented between glass. They are available at each modulation (-35, -60, -80).

Barcode Conformance Calibration Standards
-
Barcode symbol quality has been at the forefront of discussion among practitioners in the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) industry since they were invented in 1951. Barcodes became commercially successful when they were used to automate checkout systems at grocery stores, with the very first scanning of the Universal Product Code (UPC) on a pack of Wrigley Company chewing gum in June 1974. The Uniform Code Council (UCC) published barcode quality guidelines, and ANSI X3.182-1990 became the first published standard for barcode quality. Since then, ISO/IEC 15416 for 1D symbols and ISO/IEC 15415 for 2D symbols have become the global standards for grading printed barcodes.

ACCUplace Grid Indexing Pattern
AP-G Series
-
Ensuring precise motion and positional accuracy is critical for a number of video analysis systems and automated measuring instruments. The AP-G series is ideally suited for calibrating such elements, in addition to its uses in determining stage squareness, and travel distance image analysis and visual inspection systems where precise motion must be calibrated and measured. All AP-G targets have number/letter indexed columns and rows for easy calibration and are offered on four standard materials; Glass (CG) Opal (OP) Photopaper (RM) and Film (TM).

SINE Sinusoidal Single Frequency Gratings
-
Our SINE Sinusoidal Single Frequency transmittance patterns have proved to be very useful for specialized MTF Measurement as well as for such applications as moirè contouring. They are made on film base material with a nominal thickness of 0.175mm. This material is polyester and tends to be somewhat birefringent. The harmonic modulation values are generally 3% or less.
