FEATURES
Assessing Food Inspection Techniques A decade ago, food supply was not an issue for most of the world’s population, but today the world is facing a food crisis. Multiple factors have contributed to the problem, including recent...
Image Sensor Sockets: A Key Factor in Camera Design Camera makers — and, therefore, image sensor makers — today are under greater pressure than ever to offer new models that provide higher resolution and higher speed, respectively. With...
Food Inspection Techniques: From the Visible to 3D Imaging Food sorting traces its origins all the way back to the nomadic hunter-gatherer days. While foraging out in the wild, gatherers handpicked fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts that would be shared...
Navigating the Options for 3D Imaging While 3D imaging in machine vision has been applied in key use cases for many years, use of the technology has recently grown and expanded, making it increasingly common in a wider range of...
EDITORIAL
Upon closer inspection In May, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a public health alert for Great Value Black Forest Ham. Random sampling found that the product wasn’t fully cooked. The discovery occurred after the ham had been shipped to Walmart stores throughout the upper Midwest. As is often the case, by the time spoilage or contamination is discovered, food products are already in the hands of...
VISION IN ACTION
Multispectral Inspection Keeps Counterfeiters Away, Forgers at Bay There is more to a bank note than the numerical figures that appear on it. The elements that go unseen by most are just as important as the clearly visible information on the currency. The U.S....
3D Vision Helps Operators Handle Hazardous Waste The hazardous nature of radioactive materials requires that they be handled from a distance using a manipulator, a skill that can take an operator years to master. Work involving radioactive...
SHOW PREVIEW
AI Pioneer Andrew Ng Headlines Vision Spectra Conference ’22 By harnessing the power of “good” data over “big” data, manufacturers with limited data sets can use machine vision for quality inspection. This is the premise of the keynote address to be delivered by globally recognized AI visionary Andrew Ng for the second annual Vision Spectra Conference (VSC), which will be held online July 19-21. The founder and CEO of Landing AI...
