Machine Vision Lighting: A First-Order Consideration

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Lighting, sometimes a step-child in machine vision considerations, has become a first-order consideration in automated applications.

SCHOTT North America, Inc., Fiber Optics

In the beginning, automated inspection focused on the camera and optics, the algorithms, the interface hardware and the processor. Only rarely was attention paid to the lighting system or lighting approach. As engineers became more familiar with lighting’s operating characteristics, the importance of lighting’s role became clear. Now, the many innovative approaches to lighting have helped to solidify machine vision’s value as an inspection process. The focus today is on improving accuracy, process speed and reliability as applications become increasingly complex and...Read full article
