Abstract

An equalization system for a multi-axis imaging system. A plurality of light detectors are arranged in a detector array and a plurality of light sources corresponding to detectors in the detector array are arranged in a source array so that light radiated from a point on the object illuminated by a given source is detected by a corresponding detector. A signal conditioning system is provided for receiving output signals from the plurality of detectors. An equalizer system, adapted to interact with said signal conditioning system, is provided for equalizing the output values for given amounts of optical power illuminating the respective fields of view of the imaging elements.
