August 13, 2004 -- Many industries have a requirement for good quality photographs of components and finished products for quality control and catalogue work, but achievement of consistent high quality images can prove to be a problem. The majority of photographic images are, quality control, generated by use of a handheld, quality control, or at the best, a tripod mounted camera. Shake and poor, quality control, lighting are critical factors and contribute to a generally poor quality picture that does not either provide sufficient clarity and detail for inspection work or that throws shadows that mask the true characteristics of the object being photographed.
Normally, photographing solid objects without suffering the problems of shadows, or at the least indiscriminate lighting, is the realm of a professional photographer armed with many thousands of pounds worth of sophisticated camera and lighting equipment. The costs of such services are often outside of the budgets available to small firms who cannot afford to have a professional photographer take pictures of each and every item they produce and so they struggle on with the best tools available. The best tools available have just taken a leap forward with the introduction of the new Coloreal e-Box now available in the UK from Dicoll Ltd.
Within most industrial environments speed and accuracy are of prime importance and the e-Box system makes digitising objects up to the size of a football as simple as possible. The camera comes with an ICC profile so is characterised in terms of colour, which along with the utility to calibrate the computer screen means consistent reproduction of accurate colour.
The e-Box software shows the object on screen in real time so that it can be checked for colour and composition, cropped if necessary and then saved straight to disk.
The secret to good photography is lighting control and with the controlled lighting inside, quality control, the e-Box and with the digital camera that comes with the system,, quality control, the creation of shadowless, professional images for QA inspection, website, product catalogue, exhibit, quality control, records, presentations and more is easily achieved. Provided with a Canon Powershot 5 Megapixel digital camera that can be mounted in the top of the light box or placed in front on a tripod, the Coloreal e-Box can be easily connected to a PC or laptop via USB, quality control, and all camera functions are controlled by the e-Box software.
