What Is Machine Vision?
Machine vision is a technology that uses cameras and sensors to process images and recognize objects and information.
Its operating principle consists of four steps: image acquisition, image processing, feature extraction, and pattern recognition. Machine vision is used in diverse applications, from the manufacturing sectors, such as product inspection, quality control, and robot picking, to logistics sectors, including package sorting, barcode reading, and visual inspection.
Machine vision systems come in various types, including 2D and 3D image processing, and those leveraging deep learning techniques. Their features include high-speed and high-precision recognition, non-contact operation, objectivity, and data digitization. However, when using machine vision attention to lighting conditions, camera performance, and appropriate algorithm selection is necessary.
