Total machine vision sales, which grew less than one percent, include sales of machine vision components and systems. 

Over the past several years, there has been a major realignment and consolidation among the companies that design, manufacture, and distribute image sensors. 

Over the last decade imaging system designers have faced a new set of challenges. Ten years ago the performance of standard camera lenses was sufficient to get optimum performance out of the available sensors. 

Matrox Imaging announced that its Matrox Design Assistant machine vision software now supports DENSO’s binary control access protocol (b-CAP) robot interface.

Recently, I was taken aback by several press releases claiming that Sony has apparently indicated its plan to discontinue the production of all CCD sensors by 2017.

At some point, someone has to make it all work. Integration is where design meets reality, where theoretical meets practical implementation.

In addition to its own algorithms, SICK will also be using the HALCON image processing library for vision sensors, 3D cameras, and vision systems in the future.

Up to now, cooperation between the two companies has been limited to 3D cameras but it will now be expanded to include various sensors in the vision sector.

Flaw detection is one of the most fundamental machine vision tasks.

If you’re interested in self-driving cars, drones or robotics, then you will understand why machine vision continues to grow.
