Custom line scan cameras from JADAK offer high-speed, high-resolution image capture and processing ideal for OCT imaging and high-speed industrial applications.
JADAK’s machine vision streaming line scan camera is designed to capture high-resolution images at high speed, one pixel line at a time. Used in OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), as well as other applications that require fast, high-resolution image processing, our machine vision line cameras are all customizable to business’ precise needs.
- Real-time image processing
- Capture high-quality images of fast-moving objects
- Features FPGA (field programmable gate array) technology for faster speed
- Customizable board level, cooled sensors and custom I/O options
- Easy integration with other system electronics to reduce cost and increase performance
The machine vision streaming line camera plays a crucial role in multiple applications, including line-field OCT systems, offering faster scanning speed and higher resolution images than an area scan camera. A line scanning camera uses machine vision technology to build a two-dimensional image from a single line of pixels.
Aside from building high-resolution images to support precise measurement in OCT and other healthcare engineering or industrial inspection applications, a machine vision line scan camera can also detect printing defects and flaws, and unwrap cylindrical objects. Applications include:
- Defect detection
- Sorting and grading
- Quality control
- Surface and print inspection
- Item identification at high speeds
Optical Imaging Systems for Optometry & Ophthalmology
JADAK’s custom optical imaging solutions empower OEMs to enhance diagnostic accuracy in their Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and fundus systems.
Features and Benefits
- High-Speed Imaging: Ideal for high-speed applications, a line scan camera captures fast-moving images and processes them in real time. This is key in OCT, supporting the rapid acquisition of cross-sectional tissue images.
- High Resolution: Captures high-resolution images for precise measurement, which is critical for the detailed level of imaging required in OCT.
- Reduced Motion Artifacts: As line scan cameras are so fast-moving, they can help to reduce motion artifacts, which is important in medical imaging where image quality can be affected by patient movements.
- Customizable: Our machine vision cameras are fully customizable, thanks to JADAK’s engineer-to-engineer collaboration. We can utilize the best sensor for the application from multiple vendors to build the best solution for your precise needs.

Machine Vision Streaming Line Scan Camera FAQs
A streaming machine vision streaming line camera features a single row of light-sensitive pixels, which capture each section of an object as it moves at speed past the camera. The data scanned and created by the line scan camera is then digitized in real time, enabling high-speed, high-resolution image capture.
A machine vision streaming line scan camera allows high-resolution images to be captured fast and processed in real time. This can be beneficial across a number of applications, including in OCT, where the speed of image processing is crucial for providing cross-sectional images of tissues in fast-moving surgical environments.
A line scan camera captures single images one pixel line at a time, whereas an area scan camera captures a whole scene in one frame. As a result, the images from a streaming line camera are typically much higher resolution than the images an area scan camera can capture.
Line scan cameras are used by industries including healthcare, manufacturing, industrial inspection, and industrial printing and packing. Any sector that would benefit from high-resolution, real-time image processing could benefit from our machine vision line camera series.
Line scan technology has higher intensity requirements than area scan technology, and it comes with a higher cost, but it has many advantages. Contact us to discuss how line scan technology could benefit your operations.
