Machine Vision FOV / Lens Selection Calculator

📷 Machine Vision FOV / Lens Selection Calculator

FOV, resolution, product coverage, AOI safety margin, lens magnification & reverse focal length suggestion

Input Parameters
Camera / Sensor
Most lens datasheets list a "Supported Sensor Format" or Image Circle. Selecting a format auto-fills a reference value; final lens selection should still follow the manufacturer's official specs.
Lens / Mounting Conditions
The thin-lens model assumes WD is the theoretical distance from the lens's principal plane to the object; the value measured from the physical lens front on-site may differ.
Inspection Requirements
Advanced Settings
Depth of field and diffraction are rough estimates only; final selection should still be verified with the lens datasheet and real-world testing.

2 px represents only the theoretical minimum sampling; general appearance inspection typically needs 3–5 px, while low-contrast scratches, dimensional measurement, or fine-text recognition usually require higher coverage.

Depth of field uses a simplified approximation; actual results are affected by lens design, MTF, focus, wavelength, and algorithm tolerance.
