Improving Productivity with Multi-vision Inspection Systems

08/24/15, 04:56 AM | Personal & Service Robots , Factory Automation | machine vision | Lanner Electronics Inc.

Machine vision uses cameras, computers and software algorithms for carrying out inspection tasks that require precise and repetitive verification and testing in high speed. Accomplishing such tasks with human vision is extremely difficult, if not impossible, because while human eyes are capable of making precise measures in details, they aren't equipped to do so in a rapid and repetitive manner; human vision, by comparison, is error-prone and could deteriorate irreversibly when made to perform such visually intensive tasks.
