The days when an engineer needed to have a computer, a frame grabber, an operating system and a software package to inspect a manufacturing process may soon be over. Today, companies such as Actel, Atmel, Altera, Cypress Semiconductor, Lattice Semiconductor and Xilinx are producing programmable logic devices that have densities of up to and even more than 1 million gates. Over the past few years, advances in gate densities and improvements in programming software for these devices have made the technology of programmable logic suitable for the implementation of image-processing algorithms...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...
