An Artificial Vision System is composed by the integration of optical, electronic and mechanic components, which allow acquiring and processing images both in the visible spectrum and outside of it (infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, etc.). The processing result is the recognition of some characteristics of the image for different control purposes, measurement, classification, etc…
The artificial vision systems, in industrial field, are automatic systems for quality control and dimensional measurements, which are typically installed on a production line.
This technology can provide many benefits, such as consistency and repeatability, ensuring compliance and quality of 100% of production. It also allows the objectification of quality controls, the reduction of the production costs and an increase of the technological level of the product through the automation of the manufacturing processes.
