Optical imaging and analysis systems
The Eifeler Image Analysis Suite is a comprehensive imaging system consisting of an Olympus BX40 high magnification optical microscope linked via a CCD camera to a dedicated PC
Microscopy
In some instances, microscopy can give useful information regarding the extent or mode of corrosion degradation or failure
Electronic Materials
Our electronic materials characterisation facilities include electrical characterisation facilities including current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements and sheet resistance measurements
Robot tool positioning and alignment
One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks.
Sheaf solutions training offer
Sheaf Solutions offers training courses ranging from basic concepts to advanced features of ARENA simulation software. Where necessary, these courses can be delivered at client’s premises.
Object recognition and tracking
Over the years, we have developed several techniques for recognising and tracking 2D and 3D objects in real-time. These techniques are able to cope with variability of the lighting conditions, presence of clutter, background texture and general image noise.
Corrosion and structural integrity facilities
