Counting objects in an image seems like an easy task, which can be automated through machine vision and image analysis, but it becomes difficult when objects touch, move randomly, or are hard to distinguish from their background.

Short wave infrared (SWIR) machine vision imaging is a key tool in manufacturing and industrial processes to measure, monitor, control or otherwise manage the reliable and quality-conforming production of goods that do not respond well to standard range machine vision cameras.

Machine vision as a subset of computer science has been around for more than 20 years.

Since its adoption in 2006, the GigE Vision standard has become a favorite of the machine vision industry, growing to more than 30% of units sold annually, according to data compiled by the Automated Imaging Association.

The Machine Vision Lighting line now includes models designed for 24 Volt DC power.

In-Sight Micro is a complete vision system that measures 30 millimeters by 30 millimeters by 60 millimeters.
