PixelTraq is a flexible, traceable camera calibration system engineered for next-generation imaging and vision applications.
Developed for engineers, researchers, and manufacturers who demand accuracy, PixelTraq delivers traceable calibration for single cameras or complex sensor arrays. From machine vision-based metrology applications to advanced optical system performance optimization, PixelTraq provides the foundation for improved data collection to achieve sub-pixel performance for vision systems.
In critical imaging systems, uncertainty about pointing errors and distortion can compromise results.
- Traditional calibration tools and methods can require several manual steps and result in a qualitative rather than quantitative solution.
- With a convergence of technology improvements in detector technology, AI/ML, and machine vision algorithms, traceable camera calibration can unlock the potential of resultant data products.
- Industries at the forefront of advanced technology and data products need calibration processes that scale, adapt, and change what is possible for real-world applications.
Quartus developed PixelTraq to solve these challenges with a single, intelligent, automated platform that evolves as your systems do.
Combining parametric modeling, machine vision, and traceable data collection, PixelTraq provides calibration insights for improved performance.
PixelTraq automates the process of calibrating and characterizing the performance of imaging systems across diverse optical applications. With PixelTraq, you can ensure every camera in your system is calibrated for performance, with traceability built in from the start.
