Present Situation and Applications of Machine Vision's Key Techniques

Abstract

Machine vision, an important branch of Artificial Intelligence, is one of the most important information processing techniques. The concept of machine vision and the configuration of a typical machine vision system have been briefly introduced at first, and the development status of machine vision's key techniques have been explained in detail, such as illuminating resource, optical lens, camera, image frame grabber, image processing card, integrated vision unit, and so on. The technique of machine vision has found an increasingly wide utilization in many fields, such as industrial detection, agricultural products classification, robot navigation, medical image analysis, traffic management, safety monitor, and so on.
