Machine vision is a technology that enables automatic inspection and analysis for applications including automatic inspection, process control, and robotic guidance by using image processing. Itβs important to know that when mentioning machine vision it can be in reference to many different technologies, software and hardware products, integrated systems, actions, methods, and expertise. Machine vision is a technical capability that is integrated with existing technologies in new ways and applies it with the aim to solve real-world problems. Machine vision is a systems engineering discipline and can be considered distinct from computer vision which is a form of computer science and not done through a tangible piece of hardware such as a vision box or camera attached to a robot. Machine vision is the body of a system and computer vision is the intelligence of the system, similar to how a computer is a frame for what goes inside such as the computer chips that power up the computer. Without computer vision, machine vision canβt work as itβs the brains behind processing the information. Itβs important to note that when computer vision technology advances it increases the possibility of potential applications for machine vision increases respectively. ClearView Imaging makes the valid point that computer vision can process images that might not be photos or videos and instead be an image from a thermal or infrared sensor, a motion detector, or other sources.
