Theia Technologies’ IQ Lens™ System brings together a motorized lens, motor control board, average calibration data, and software with graphical user interface (GUI) to form a modular, highly configurable system. Until recently, the user needed to develop their own motor control software. Theia’s IQ Lens™ System software application and intuitive graphical user interface saves the user considerable development effort and cost, speeding time to market.
The IQ Lens™ calibration data provides intelligence that enables optimal image quality and easy imaging system setup. The compact, lightweight varifocal lens and motor control board provide for remote operation in hard to reach or mobile environments. Combined, these elements allow for convenient and cost-effective integration into the imaging system.
Fast. Intelligent. Cost effective. Just plain Smart!
Available calibration data
The following calibration data frames are provided in a JSON format data file. The calibration curves are monitored from lens lot to lot to verify the continued accuracy of the curves. When a Theia IQ lens™ is purchased, the most recent average data file is provided (available from online download).

Calibrated lens back focal length (BFL) calibration procedure
Due to the tolerances in the camera sensor and mount positions, there is a difference between the lens best focus position and the calibrated focus position. To mitigate this, the lens focus position should be set visually and compared to the calibrated focus motor step from the data file at several focal lengths. The Back Focal Length (BFL) calibration procedure is described in application note AN004. Depending on the application, a fine focus adjustment may be required for optimal focus.
