3. Machine Vision
•
Machine vision (MV) is the application of computer vision
to industry and manufacturing. Whereas computer vision is
the general discipline of making computers see (understand
what is perceived visually), machine vision, being an
engineering discipline, is interested in digital input/output
devices and computer networks to control other
manufacturing equipment such as robotic arms and
equipment to eject defective products. Machine Vision is a
subfield of engineering that is related to computer science,
optics, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation.
•
One of the most common applications of Machine Vision 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.
6. Types of Vision Systems
Machine
Vision
Systems
PC Based
Systems
Smart
Cameras
•
•
•
•
Processing and Image
capture done on the
camera itself
Cost-effective compared to
PC based system
Not as flexible in terms of
available resolutions and
speeds.
In built I/O
•
•
•
Highly customizable based
on requirements (ex: high
resolution cameras, line
scan systems, etc.)
Requires More engineering
time to integrate the
systems
Requires separate I/O
modules
Vision
Appliances
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hybrid of the two
Offers an embedded
controller (PC) typically of
industrial grade
Plug n Play with compatible
cameras
More powerful than smart
camera
Can be interfaced with
multiple cameras, etc.
