What is a vision system?

Hi, Welcome to Opto Engineering’s tech insights!

In this video we will talk about what a vision system entails.

Machine Vision is the discipline that combines imaging technologies and methods to perform automatic inspection and analysis in several types of applications, such as verification, measurement, and process control.

A vision system is usually made up of every component that is needed to acquire and analyze an image in order to perform the intended task, for example to measure an automotive mechanical part, these components include optics, lighting, cameras, controllers, and software.

When designing and building a vision system, it is important to find the right balance between performance and cost to achieve the best result for the desired application. In other videos, we will look into the exact details.
