Machine Vision Adds Capacity, Safety to Road 'Well-Traveled'

"Ambient light has been a challenge for machine vision cameras and systems, which had their genesis in the more controlled environments of the industrial production floor.  “The most common solution is to use infrared (IR) light and use a silicon sensor without the typical NIR filter-coating applied across the top....." Read More

Metaphase Pattern Projector Features Intense LED Line Output:

"The MetaBright LED pattern projector employs a proprietary optical system design combined with C-mount, 2/3-in. format imaging lenses to project intense patterns for structured-light applications. Intensity can be controlled within a range of 0~10 V. The device is able to project patterns including cross-hair, stripes, grid, edge, and line, with less than 1 micron edge sharpness...." Read More.

Color Machine Vision Goes Beyond the Visible

"The use of color cameras in machine vision applications used to be limited in part by limits to handing the amount of data a color camera could produce, particularly three-chip cameras compared to single-chip Bayer filter color cameras. But as computer processing power has increased and the number of commercial applications continues to grow, color machine vision applications have increased in volume and as a percentage of the overall machine vision market...." Read More.

LEDs Line Up to Illuminate Web Inspections

"Inspecting products such as paper, aluminum, and textiles during the manufacturing process is one of the most challenging tasks for any machine-vision system designer. These products are manufactured at high speeds, and the web-based systems required to inspect them must be capable of detecting and classifying a number of different defects, often with various scattering properties..."

VISION-GUIDED ROBOTICS: Sophisticated software speeds automotive assembly

"In the automotive industry, roller hemming is used to join independently stamped inner panels such as hoods, decks, and fender reinforcements to the outer panels that make up a car’s body. The edge of the outer panel is first formed so that it extends perpendicularly over the inner panel. Then a hemmer folds the outer panel 45° over the inner panel. This “pre-hem” is then followed by the actual hem, which folds the metal outer portion over the inner reinforcement..." Read More.
