Abstract

An alignment pad is set in front of the image sensor. A lens is set between the alignment pad and the image sensor. The alignment pad includes a set of boundary alignment patterns. At least one sets of resolution analysis patterns are formed on the alignment pad. Each set of the resolution analysis pattern includes a horizontal analysis resolution pattern and a vertical resolution analysis pattern. The horizontal analysis resolution pattern is consisted of a plurality of vertical lines to analyze the horizontal resolution of the lens. The vertical resolution analysis pattern is consisted of a plurality of oblique lines to analyze the vertical resolution of the lens. The signals detected by the image sensor is fed to an application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) to generate a collation data. Subsequently, the collation data is fed into a buffer to store the data. A computer is responsive to these signal, and displays the collation data on the monitor in gray mode for collation.
