Machine Vision

Machine vision is the most industrialized part of computer vision, and is mainly used in factory automation testing and robotics. Nearly 80% of industrial vision systems are used primarily for testing, including for improving production efficiency, controlling product quality during production, and collecting product information. Product classification and selection are also integrated into the inspection function.

The visual system detects the products on the production line, determines whether the products meet the quality requirements, and according to the results, generates corresponding signals to input to the upper computer. The image acquisition device includes a light source, a video camera, etc.; the image processing device includes a corresponding software and hardware system; the output device is a related system connected to the manufacturing process, including a programmable controller and an alarm device.

The data is transmitted to the computer for analysis and product control. If a non-conforming product is found, the alarm is alarmed and excluded from the production line. The result of machine vision is the source of quality information for the CAQ system and can be integrated with other CIMS systems.
