Result Interpretation

Machine Vision Minimum Detectable Defect Size Calculator computes Minimum Detectable Defect Size in m using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. Minimum Detectable Defect Size is expressed in m. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Sensor Pixel Pitch = 3.45E-6
  • Working Distance = 0.3
  • Lens Focal Length = 0.016

Expected Result:

  • Minimum Detectable Defect Size = 6.46875E-5

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Minimum Detectable Defect Size = 6.46875E-5 m.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
