Application of Machine Vision in Photo Chemical Machining. Part One: Machine Vision Equipment, A Manufacturer’s View
Machine vision is a pragmatic business.
It is about making money by improving production
processes. It would be easier if we
could apply multimillion dollar NSA technology
to counting beer cans but in the real world
cost counts. The following is presented in the
same spirit. The intention is to provide an
introduction to and an overview of machine
vision as applied to making things. Some topics
have been left out and others simplified, but
it should provide a basis for further reading.
