摘要： A planar laser illumination and imaging (PLIIM) based camera system capable of producing digital images with reduced levels of speckle-pattern noise. The PLIIM based camera system comprises a planar laser illumination array (PLIA) including a plurality of laser diodes for producing and projecting a planar laser illumination beam (PLIB) so as to illuminate an object as it is moving past said PLIIM based camera system. An image formation and detection (IFD) module is provided having a image detection array and imaging forming optics for providing the image detection array with a field of view (FOV). The PLIB and FOV are arranged in a coplanar relationship along the working range of the PLIIM based camera system so that the PLIB illuminates primarily within the FOV of the IFD module. A speckle-pattern noise reduction subsystem is integrated with the IFD, for reducing the spatial-coherence of said planar laser illumination beam (PLIB) after the PLIB has illuminated and reflected/scattered off the target object. The speckle-pattern noise reduction subsystem carries out a spatial intensity modulation technique after the reflection/scattering of the PLIB off the target, so that the laser illumination reflected/scattered off the object consists of spatially coherent-reduced planar laser illumination, causing numerous substantially different time-varying speckle-noise patterns to be produced at the image detection array over the photo-integration time period thereof. The numerous substantially different time-varying speckle-noise patterns are detected at the image detection array over the photo-integration time period, and the detected speckle-noise patterns are temporally averaged at said image detection array during the photo-integration time period thereof. As a result of such temporal averaging, the RMS power of observable speckle-noise patterns is reduced at the image detection array. By virtue of the present invention, it is now possible to enjoy the benefits of laser-based illumination during high-speed imaging operations, without the adverse effects of speckle-pattern noise.

摘要： An automatic vehicle identification (AVI) system for installation along a roadway, comprising one or more a planar laser illumination and imaging (PLIIM) based linear imaging subsystems mounted above the roadway in a spaced apart manner. The PLIIM based subsystems are arranged for capturing digital linear images of both the front and rear license plates mounted on each moving vehicle travelling under the PLIIM based linear imaging subsystem, and generating digital image data representative of each captured digital linear image. An image processing subsystem is provided for receiving and processing the digital image data generated by the PLIIM-based imaging systems, so as to automatically read the alphanumeric strings on the front and/or rear license plates of each the vehicle. These recognized strings are then compared against vehicle registration information stored in a database in order to identify each vehicle travelling under along the roadway. By virtual of the present invention, it is now possible to capture and buffer high-resolution linear images of the license plates on moving vehicles using planar laser illumination beams and coplanar fields of view, so that these linear images can be sequentially assembled to construct 2-D images for OCR processing so that such vehicles can be automatically identified, while avoiding the need for large and expensive high-intensity lighting equipment required by conventional digital cameras employing 2-D electronic image detectors.

摘要： Methods of and systems for illuminating objects using planar laser illumination beams having substantially-planar spatial distribution characteristics that extend through the field of view (FOV) of image formation and detection modules employed in such systems. Each planar laser illumination beam is produced from a planar laser illumination beam array (PLIA) comprising an plurality of planar laser illumination modules (PLIMs). Each PLIM comprises a visible laser diode (VLD, a focusing lens, and a cylindrical optical element arranged therewith. The individual planar laser illumination beam components produced from each PLIM are optically combined to produce a composite substantially planar laser illumination beam having substantially uniform power density characteristics over the entire spatial extend thereof and thus the working range of the system. Preferably, each planar laser illumination beam component is focused so that the minimum beam width thereof occurs at a point or plane which is the farthest or maximum object distance at which the system is designed to acquire images, thereby compensating for decreases in the power density of the incident planar laser illumination beam due to the fact that the width of the planar laser illumination beam increases in length for increasing object distances away from the imaging optics. By virtue of the present invention, it is now possible to use both VLDs and high-speed CCD-type image detectors in conveyor, hand-held and hold-under type scanning applications alike, enjoying the advantages and benefits that each such technology has to offer, while avoiding the shortcomings and drawbacks hitherto associated therewith.
