New Technology Increases Level of Scanning Precision
IDEAL/CONTEX Scanners Contain Patented Technology Which Corrects Dimensional Errors


Introduction
When looking at pixels across the range of a camera, the pixels tend to be more elliptical at the outside edges of the lens and more round in the middle of the lens. This anomaly is known as a spherical lens error and can introduce inaccuracies in the scanning system that can vary quite substantially between different points along the scan line.

GIS professionals and other specialized vertical markets involved in Quality Assurance and Verification require a high grade of precision stability in the scanned image with a well-defined maximum deviation of 0.1% or less. Most scanner manufacturers typically state+-0.1% accuracy between the two end-points of the scan line.

However, Accuracy Lens Enhancement (ALE) enables IDEAL/Contex scanners to maintain precision across any two points of the scan line, thus exceeding even the most rigid requirements in the industry today.


What is Accuracy Lens Enhancement (ALE)?
Accuracy Lens Enhancement (ALE) is an electronic correction of spherical errors in CCD based camera-scanning systems.

Accuracy Lens Enhancement Technology (ALE) electronically maintains precision across any two points of the scan line thus exceeding even the most rigid requirements in the industry today. IDEAL/Contex scanners offer Accuracy Lens Enhancement (ALE) technology for our entire range of scanners. We are committed to offering only the highest levels of quality, accuracy and reliability.
