- Industrial standards to boost machine vision system
markets.
New analysis from the consulting firm Frost & Sullivan (San Jose, CA, www.test andmeasurement.frost.com) reveals that the world machine vision inspection systems industry generated revenues totaling $1.12 billion in 2002. Total market revenues could reach $2,62 billion in 2009. The lack of operating standards within the machine vision industry creates ......
- Machine Vision Lens selection Makes the Difference
The role of machine vision in controlling industrial processes continues to expand, especially in the arenas of robot guidance, object recognition and quality assurance. Today’s sophisticated vision systems go beyond basic blob analysis—distinguishing a part from a pile and establishing its orientation—to providing information for subsequent functions such as moving ......
- The eyes have it: why today's machine vision
systems are easier, better, cheaper.
Machine vision is about giving flexible automation and robotic systems the gift of sight--or something like it. Computer cameras and sensors collect digital images, analyze them, and make decisions based on what they "see." Most vision-guided machines perform specific tasks like searching for defects, picking up parts from any angle, ......
