Application study · Footwear manufacturingInsole outlines: separate the cut contour from surface texture
The application capture shows a dark insole outline against a bright backlight. It provides a clean starting point for comparing a cut part with a template while keeping flattening, scale and placement in the validation plan.
Control flexible-part shape before comparing the cut outline.

Proposed component
MV-CS050-10GM(NPOE)
5 MP monochrome global-shutter camera for a bench contrast trial; confirm sampling, sensitivity and exposure on the actual part.
Proposed component
LS-KF1628M-ML
Proposed 16 mm C-mount macro lens. The illustration uses its printed 0.03x magnification at 546 mm working distance. The proposed camera sensor gives a derived 281.52 × 235.52 mm field. Confirm field, focus and residual distortion on the actual sample; this is not calibrated measurement accuracy.
Tested component
LS-2FS400300
White 400 × 300 mm side backlight identified in the insole example; printed housing 432 × 332 × 10.5 mm.
Proposed component
LS-BT-XZ-G-8-6045
800 mm column, 600 × 450 mm breadboard, XZ adjustment, glass tray and two lighting holders as listed. Proposed bench fixture; confirm loads, travel and camera/lens clamps.

Camera and available lens CAD are published models. Lens and light envelopes use printed dimensions. The linked station uses its published base size and column height; carriage, brackets, fittings, parts and spacing are illustrative. Confirm load, travel, fasteners and clearances before ordering. Light paths explain the arrangement and do not simulate optical performance. Representative part geometry is illustrative, not reconstructed inspection evidence.

The station is an optical test bench, with its two lighting holders included in the catalog listing. The 3D column and base follow the published height and footprint. Carriages, clamps and part supports are schematic: confirm camera screw pattern, lens support, light fasteners, permissible load and actual travel before ordering.

Lighting application-lab catalog capture
Evidence you can inspect
Visible in the images
The cut insole perimeter is visible as a dark silhouette.
What the source reports
The source labels the image insole measurement with a white LS-2FS400300; no dimensions or accuracy are reported.
How to use this evidence
One appearance example, without a calibrated scale, deformation study or demonstrated cutting tolerance.
What the camera saw
Cropped from the source test sheet; original test annotations are retained. Captures are not generated or enhanced. Drag the comparison slider or use the image buttons.
The challenge
Fabric, foam and printed top layers add texture that is unrelated to the cut contour.
Flexible parts can curl or stretch, so their projected outline depends on support and placement.
How it was solved
The source uses the white LS-2FS400300 side backlight for an insole measurement example. Place the part flat between the light and camera.
Set the field from the actual part size and verify lens coverage. The illustrated field is a proposal and the source provides no insole dimensions or calibrated result.
Why it works
- 1
Transmitted light suppresses the top-surface appearance and emphasizes the outside boundary.
- 2
Template matching can compare shape, but an absolute size decision still needs calibration and controlled part flattening.
From image contrast to a production decision
What to validate on your part
A useful sample image is the starting point. These are the checks that turn the concept into a defensible inspection.
- 01
Define the flattening method
Test the allowed support and clamping conditions without stretching the part.
- 02
Calibrate the full field
Check scale and distortion at heel, toe and both sides of the actual part.
- 03
Compare real production variation
Include all accepted sizes, materials and known cutting defects before setting template tolerances.
Explore your inspection requirementsNo limit from motion
How many pixels cover your feature?
Compare feature coverage, camera pixel requirements and exposure using your own planning inputs. These are calculated planning values, not inspection results or an accuracy specification.
Editable planning scenario. Adjust these example inputs for your application; they are separate from the source test and 3D setup. Motion allowance and target coverage are starting points to validate, not acceptance limits. Pixel count starts from the proposed camera's catalog resolution.
Enter finite numbers in every field. Field width, feature width, target coverage, exposure and allowed motion must be greater than zero; horizontal pixel count must be a positive whole number; material speed may be zero. Use values within the supported numeric range if a calculation cannot be represented.
Object sampling mm/px
Pixels across feature px
Horizontal pixels for target px
Motion during exposure px
Exposure ceiling from motion µs
Formulas and assumptions
The field, feature, speed and exposure start with neutral example values. They are not taken from the source test or the 3D illustration. Allowed motion starts at an editable 0.5-pixel example; it is not a recommended acceptance limit. Target coverage starts at an editable 5-pixel example; it is not a recommended detection or measurement threshold. The horizontal pixel count starts from the catalog Resolution row for MV-CS050-10GM(NPOE). Use the effective width after cropping, binning or decimation if those modes are enabled.
- Object sampling (mm/px) = field width (mm) / horizontal pixels.
- Pixels across feature = feature width (mm) / object sampling (mm/px).
- Horizontal pixels for target = field width (mm) × target pixels across feature / feature width (mm), rounded up to a whole pixel.
- Motion (px) = speed (mm/s) × exposure (µs) / 1,000,000 / object sampling (mm/px).
- Exposure for allowed motion (µs) = allowed motion (px) × object sampling (mm/px) / speed (mm/s) × 1,000,000.
The exposure result is the maximum duration from this motion allowance alone. At zero speed, motion sets no exposure limit; the camera, lighting, saturation and other constraints still apply. A shorter exposure does not itself guarantee a reliable inspection.
Field width and feature width refer to the same object plane. The motion calculation assumes uniform linear motion parallel to the field-width direction and a single exposure. It does not model perspective, vibration, rolling-shutter distortion, diffraction, defocus or optical distortion. A strobe may change the effective exposure.
The target result is a horizontal sampling requirement, not a camera recommendation or a change to the selected camera. It uses the effective image width after cropping, binning or decimation and does not determine the vertical resolution or sensor size. Pixel coverage alone does not establish detectability or measurement accuracy. Validate contrast, lens performance, working distance, illumination, calibration, camera exposure limits and the inspection algorithm on representative parts. Changing field width does not change the 3D model or certify that the proposed lens can achieve that field.

About this case study: the photos and camera images come from the application laboratory of the maker of the lighting and optics we sell, imaged on the parts shown; your results depend on your part, camera and set-up. This is an application-lab study, not a LumaSpec customer deployment. Source figures are reported results; proposed components require a fresh trial. The 3D scene illustrates the arrangement and does not simulate imaging performance.
