Machine Vision

Machine vision is the application of graphical analysis through the use of optical systems, engineering digital cameras and image processing tools, to simulate the human visual ability, and make decisions accordingly, and ultimately by commanding a particular device to carry out these decisions. Simply put, machine vision is to replace the human eye with a machine to observe, measure and judge things.

Machine vision is a comprehensive technology, including image processing, mechanical engineering technology, control, electric lighting, optical imaging, sensors, analog and digital video technology, computer hardware and software technology (image enhancement and analysis algorithms, image cards, I/O cards, etc.). 

Machine vision is an inspection machine equipped with sensing vision instruments (such as autofocus cameras or sensors), of which optical inspection instruments account for a very high proportion, and can be used to detect defects in a variety of products, or used to judge and select objects, or used to measure the size of the... etc. They are used in automated production lines to calibrate and position materials. It is the most industrialized part of computer vision, which is mainly applied in a large number of factory automation inspection and robotics industry.  

In the modern automated production process, machine vision is widely used in the fields of work condition inspection, finished product inspection and quality control.
