Machine Vision Overview
What Is Machine Vision? Machine vision is a technology that allows machines to capture images with cameras, process them with image-processing algorithms, and use the results to recognize, inspect, measure, or control physical objects. It is widely used in industrial automation, quality inspection, robot guidance, medical imaging, logistics, and many other fields. A typical machine vision system consists of an image sensor, lens, lighting, camera interface, image-processing software, and a host controller or embedded processor. The goal is not simply to take a picture, but to extract reliable information from the image and turn it into a decision or control action. ...
