Edmund Optics® and Quartus Engineering Partner to Make Imaging System Calibration More Accessible Than Ever Before

New online service allows US customers to user-friendly source for custom-tailored solutions

3/17/2025, Barrington, NJ USA   —

Edmund Optics, a leading supplier of optical and imaging components, is excited to announce the new PixelTraq camera calibration service in partnership with Quartus Engineering. US-Customers can now conveniently pair a camera with an imaging lens and have them precisely calibrated, which simplifies their system setup significantly.

Through the Edmund Optics website, customers now can source custom-tailored solutions optimized for their given field of view, working distance, and other parameters. A wide variety of lens and camera models are supported from Edmund Optics’ extensive Marketplace, as well as many additional common and custom camera models.

All imaging systems inherently exhibit errors in their representation of the real world. Camera calibration determines the complex projection function that characterizes image distortion, allowing it to be removed. The innovative patented PixelTraq architecture automates all facets of the calibration process and employs advanced optimization models to ensure that an imaging system is calibrated for a specific application.

The service is currently available only to US customers, although it is anticipated to be made available to the European market in the future. It includes a calibration certificate, documentation for all system parameters, and secure server storage. Customers can conveniently access the calibration through a provided QR code. Quartus provides an API so customers can seamlessly integrate the calibration data directly or use as a starting point for custom applications.

PixelTraq calibration is particularly beneficial for applications such as robotics, industrial automation, crop health monitoring, optical metrology, and remote measurement.

Quartus Engineering is an engineering solutions & products company that offers engineering services, system & product development & value-add manufacturing solutions with expertise in optical and optomechanical applications that demand high precision and reliability. They are a member of Edmund Optics’ Trusted Optical Partnerships (TOPs) Program, a continuously growing network of complementary business partners aiming to provide customers with more complete solutions in one place through collaboration and shared expertise. This new calibration partnership is a great example of the comprehensive optical technology solutions provided by TOPs partners.
