TAKING CONTROL OF MACHINE VISION

摘要

In humans, sight is one of the most important senses. Vision allows us to identify objects, examine them without touching them, determine spatial dimensions and relationships, and navigate safely through our world. The same benefits accrue to the machines equipped with vision systems, when the camera and processing are configured to match the application's needs.rnNumerous applications currently employ machine-vision sys-tems, many of them in factory automation. Vision-equipped machines inspect products for flaws, identify and sort objects, measure dimensions, and align and position materials for automated as-sembly.
