What are the connections between the machine vision system and the embedded industrial computer? The machine vision system uses machines instead of human eyes to make judgments and measurements. It also includes optical, mechanical, and computer software and hardware technologies. With the advent of the Industry 4.0 era, the role of machine vision in the field of intelligent manufacturing is becoming more and more important. How does machine vision technology work and why it is the right choice for process automation and quality improvement.
Machine vision technology is an interdisciplinary subject involving artificial intelligence, neurobiology, psychophysics, computer science, image processing, pattern recognition and many other fields. Machine vision mainly uses computers to simulate human vision functions, extract information from images of objective things, process and understand them, and finally use them for actual detection, measurement and control. The biggest feature of machine vision technology is fast speed, large amount of information, and multiple functions. Definition of machine vision: Machine vision is the use of optical non-contact sensing equipment to automatically receive and interpret images of real scenes to obtain information to control machines or processes.
What are the advantages of machine vision: Although human vision is good at qualitatively explaining complex and unstructured scenes, machine vision is good at quantitatively measuring structured scenes by virtue of its advantages such as speed, accuracy and repeatability. For example, on a production line, machine vision systems can inspect hundreds or even thousands of components per minute. Equipped with a camera and optical components with appropriate resolution, the machine vision system can easily inspect the details of items that are too small to be seen by the human eye.
In addition, since the direct contact between the inspection system and the inspected component is eliminated, machine vision can also prevent component damage, and also avoid the maintenance time and cost of mechanical parts wear. By reducing human involvement in the manufacturing process, machine vision also brings additional safety and operational advantages. In addition, machine vision can also prevent the clean room from being contaminated by humans, and it can also protect workers from dangerous environments.
