Capability requirements and tolerances

Consumer-specific numerical targets, quantities and acceptance limits remain open or incompletely reviewed. No smartphone-grade suitability is claimed. Distinct capability tiers require their own making route and qualification.

Making outline

Build mounts, illumination and target projection without requiring a completed camera.
Commission illumination spectrum/uniformity, geometry, timing and electrical acquisition independently.
Install black-box response/MTF/distortion/noise analysis; camera specimens are introduced only when caller performs acceptance.

What remains unresolved

Making route and target-level requirements not researched.
Radiometric/spectral/contrast references are not established by the camera being accepted.
Full inventory, quantities, losses, capability compatibility and acceptance remain unreviewed.

Unselected discovery proposals

These are research questions, not published manufacturing dependencies. The seed combines alternatives, operating requirements and verification relationships.
