Dear Visitor,
We are optical metrology engineers and software developers based in Karlsruhe. We specialize in the development of advanced optical metrology solutions, custom optical systems, and high-precision camera calibration.
Our team can calibrate cameras with micrometer-level accuracy and design tailored solutions for camera calibration, optical measurement systems, and ADAS applications.
We invite you to explore our innovative calibration technology, which replaces traditional checkerboards with monitor-based active targets — delivering up to 10× higher accuracy along with advanced quality assessment tools.
You can learn more about the technology in our Lab Journal.
If you are looking for a simple, automated, affordable, and precise camera calibration solution, please visit our Calibration Station page.

why choose us
use cases
- When the user zooms in on an image, the system switches between cameras. Discrepancies in geometry and color response between cameras lead to “jumps” and sudden color changes.
- Proper calibration of all cameras (both geometric and colorimetric) enables efficient correction and compensation schemes.
- Our calibration significantly reduces errors compared to the state of the art and requires no expensive equipment.
- When a robot arm grips objects based on camera input, positioning errors increase near the boundaries of the working area due to poor calibration quality. As a result, the robot may miss or damage the objects.
- Our free-form model calibration ensures uniform accuracy across the entire frame.
- Optical designers often use industrial cameras and high-end optics for demanding computer vision tasks. Costs can become significant, especially for multi-camera setups.
- Mass-produced cameras with inexpensive (e.g., plastic) lenses may rival such systems in image quality but typically exhibit greater distortion.
- By calibrating a free-form model that accurately captures these distortions, we can achieve performance equivalent to high-end systems in the final application.
