In many machine-vision applications, LEDs have begun to replace halogen bulbs as the lighting source in fiber-optic light guides. Carl VanDommelen, business manager for machine vision for Schott North ...

Not long ago, the cost and complexity of machine vision limited its use to specialty machines and isolated inspections. Today, however, machine vision has proven itself as a practical and affordable ...

Automation engineers must carefully manage the expectations and realities of machine vision systems to avoid project delays or failures. Misconceptions about when to integrate vision inspections often ...

Increasing machine-vision resolution to inspect ever smaller circuit features triggers the need for increased frame rates to maintain production throughput. Higher frame rates, in turn, require ...

A research team has recently developed a neuromorphic exposure control (NEC) system that enhances machine vision under ...

A novel camera system using active lighting devised by Penn State researchers may be a crucial step in developing machine vision systems that allow robotic devices to more clearly "see" the ...

A research team has recently developed a groundbreaking neuromorphic exposure control (NEC) system that revolutionizes machine vision under extreme lighting variations. This biologically inspired ...
