Machine Vision

Machine vision is the capability of a computer to perceive the environment. One or more video cameras are used with analog-to-digital conversion and digital signal processing. The image data is sent to a computer or robot controller.

Machine vision is usually linked with a computer's ability to see. The term, computer vision, is used to designate the technology in which a computer digitizes an image, processes the data, and takes some type of action.

A machine vision system uses a sensor in the robot for viewing and recognizing an object with the help of a computer. Machine vision is used in a variety of industrial processes, such as material inspection, object recognition, pattern recognition, electronic component analysis, along with the recognition of signatures, optical characters, and currency.

Advantages

The main benefits of machine vision to society are: saving time; reducing production costs; improving productivity and product quality; reducing the labor intensity of testing and inspection personnel; reducing the number of unqualified products; improving machine utilization and so on.

The history of the development of automation technology is the history of machines gradually replacing humans

The advanced machine vision system is often used for measurement, inspection (such as presence detection, defective product detection, digital statistics, defect detection), positioning, identification (such as code reading, color recognition), etc.
