Machine vision-applications in industry

Rapid advances in the automation of production methods have increased inspection requirements for three main reasons. Firstly, higher production speeds require higher inspection speeds. Secondly, the implicit inspection involved in manual production and assembly is no longer present and must be accommodated elsewhere and lastly, the ever-increasing demand of the customer for higher quality. Machines that can see have been developed for a variety of tasks that involve inspecting and manipulating industrial artifacts. The presentation discusses some of the problems faced by various industries and possible solutions using machine vision systems.<
