The term machine vision refers to the ability of machines to visually perceive their environment. A typical setting consists of a camera for capturing the images, a cable which links the camera to a PC, and the PC which does the image processing.

Up until the late 1970s, the contour projector or optical comparator was the mainstay of automated two-dimensional inspection systems. 

About 57 percent of exhibitors at the world's leading trade fair for machine vision are from abroad.

Automation industry continues to see growth.

The resolution was preceded by an international study under the lead of VDMA Machine Vision last summer.

Video interfaces and cabling have played a significant role in bringing new capabilities to machine vision and supporting automation’s migration into a broadening range of markets.

For some time now the term Industry 4.0 has often been mentioned in connection with image processing and it is predicted to turn our habits upside down. 

When it comes to cameras and the need for high-quality optics, lenses often represent the majority of the component costs. 

The manufacturing industry is turning to machine vision to help produce increasingly complex products at higher levels of quality than ever before.
