CPS: Camera Positioning System

  

Easy positioning within your reach

In general, fast and accurate positioning of a camera is essential for a good image quality. Together with any camera systems including the ARTIST camera of Art Innovation, the Camera Positioning Systems of Art Innovation offers the conservator a robust and complete solution for camera positioning in the study of art works. The CPS 100 & 200 have become well known and valued tools throughout the art conservation field.


CPS 100

For imaging of small to medium sized art objects, the CPS 100 is an ideal solution. Based on a camera tripod, which easily connects to a smooth guiding rail, a stable and versatile platform is formed which accepts any type of camera. The CPS 100 can also be equipped with halogen or ultraviolet illumination to provide uniform illumination of the object.


CPS 200

The CPS 200 has a larger vertical positioning range than the CPS 100 to study larger art objects. A weight compensating mechanism is added to the vertical stage to ensure smooth and light adjustment of the camera height. The adjustable lighting support guarantees similar lighting conditions for every position. In addition, the horizontal and vertical displacements can be accurately adjusted by hand to facilitate the accurate recording of multiple images.


CPS 200E

The CPS 200E is the computer-controlled version of the CPS 200. It can automatically scan an art object and assemble the separated images into a complete so-called mosaic image. In this way, the time consuming procedure of mosaic imaging can be automated. This means that the continuous presence of an operator is no longer needed during a scan. Powerful servomotors and sophisticated motion control guarantee stable and accurate positioning. With this equipment any existing (low resolution) camera will be turned into a fully automatic high-resolution scanner.


CPS desktop

The CPS desktop is specially designed for imaging of documents and is placed on a table. The system is fully compatible with the ARTIST camera system of Art Innovation and together they offer a complete multispectral imaging solution for document analysis. The distance of the camera to the table surface can be manually adjusted to order to guarantee an optimally sharp image.
