Product Details
The Halcon Calibration Board is a high-precision tool designed for camera and vision system calibration within the MVTec Halcon environment. Featuring a well-arranged grid of circular dots, it enables robust feature detection and sub-pixel accuracy, even under challenging lighting or wide-angle conditions. Compared to traditional checkerboard targets, the dot pattern minimizes distortion effects and enhances calibration reliability. Manufactured with strict tolerances, the board supports both intrinsic and extrinsic calibration, allowing precise alignment of single or multiple cameras. It is widely applied in industrial automation, robotics, stereo vision, and 3D measurement tasks where stability and accuracy are critical.
Product features: sharp edges, high positional accuracy, low expansion coefficient, High precision (with a maximum accuracy of 1um),and customization support.
Applicable scenarios: Machine vision calibration (security, film and television, medical, camera, drone camera, photography studio, scientific research instruments, and other equipment).
Calibration services
The base material of the dot calibration plate is optional, and different base materials (such as glass, ceramic, film, aluminum plate, etc.) can be customized according to different usage scenarios, environments, and accuracy requirements.
In addition, as a system-level calibration solution provider, DFOPTIX can provide professional calibration technical services according to customer needs, including calibration technical consulting service support, calibration scenario-based engineering construction and other calibration solution services.
