HANK HOGAN, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR, Contributing Editor, [email protected]

Picture an industrial process designer confronted with a problem that only vision-based technology can solve. The first decision that the designer would need to make is whether to choose an application-specific device or a general-purpose device. Other factors that would need to be taken into consideration are the nature of the problem to be solved, the availability of the necessary programming expertise, and the amount of time and money needed to devise a solution — a solution potentially formulated from scratch. Thanks to software, though, the functional equivalent of an...Read full article

    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
    optical character recognition
    Optical character recognition (OCR) is a technology that is used to convert printed or handwritten text into machine-readable text. OCR software and systems are designed to recognize and extract characters, words, and text from images, scanned documents, or even live video streams. This technology is particularly useful for digitizing printed documents and making them searchable and editable. Here are some key aspects of OCR: Input sources: OCR can process text from various sources,...
