Information on Machine Vision

Machine Vision, Cameras and Microscopes.

Machine vision is the application of computer vision to industry and manufacturing. One of the most common applications is the inspection of manufactured goods such as semiconductor chips, automobiles, food and pharmaceuticals.

Just as human inspectors working on assembly lines visually inspect parts to judge the quality of workmanship, so machine vision systems use digital cameras, smart cameras and image processing software to perform similar inspections

Machine Vision is concerned with the engineering of integrated mechanical-optical-electronic-software systems for examining natural objects and materials, human artifacts and manufacturing processes, in order to detect defects and improve quality, operating efficiency and the safety of both products and processes.
