Compact device for measuring the parameters of light distribution of directional light sources Project ID: EG21_374/0026948 Provider: Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic Period: May 01, 2022 - Dec 27, 2023 Recipient -- coordinator: -- Ing. Jan Šíma Co-recepient(s) / PI(s): Institute of Plasma Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague -- Mgr. Radek Melich Ph.D. Co-investigators from IPP Z. Rail, P. Pintr, K. Majerová, J. Beneš, I. Ulrichová, L. Steiger, M. Špína, B. Šrajer, D. Vápenka, O. Matoušek, M. Stašík, P. Hájek, I. Hadincová, J. Budasz, P. Psota, J. Pleštil, A. Kroupa, H. Franců, P. Sitek, J. Junek, D. Tomka, J. Hlubuček, J. Lukeš, K. Steiger Aims of the project: The main goal of the project is to develop a compact device for measuring the light distribution of directional light sources. The device will be used to detect low-quality modules or entire automotive headlights at the end of the production line, or to adjust them. Anticipated innovative technologies include large-format projection optics with aspherical surfaces, custom-made lens of the scanning camera, corresponding to the properties of the projection optics, software correction algorithms of the scanned image projected by the projection optics onto the projection surface. In conjunction with a partner, the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the TOPTEC Center, the applicant developed a design for a unique device. It is a new type of photometric box that is similar in parameters to a laboratory photometer, while being flexible and fast enough to be applicable in different production process contexts.
