Machine vision and its application in Industry 4.0
Machine Vision Machine vision is an image-processing technology that allows automated devices to scan objects in a restricted field of view, interpret their orientation, and respond in accordance with preprogrammed sequences. Machine vision technology enables industrial machines to "see" what they are doing and make quick choices based on what they see. Machine vision is most commonly used for visual inspection and defect spotting, positioning and measuring components, and identifying, sorting, and tracking goods. Machine vision is a foundational technology in industrial robotics. For decades, it has aided in the improvement…
