Color is the manifestation of light from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is perceived by an observer and is therefore subjective-two people may discern a different color from the same object in the same scene. This difference in interpretation also extends to camera systems with their lenses and image sensors.
Human and machine vision use an object’s edges to locate, identify and gage the object. This tutorial will give a better understanding of how edge detection-or finding and measuring edge positions-works in machine vision, where it can fail and what level of precision to expect.
