Vision systems are flooding the mechanical engineering market. All-in-one vision systems are conquering the world of automation technology and have long since become specialists suitable for series production.[more]

The vast majority of all production systems and machines have integrated image processing systems. Up to now, however, there has been a lack of fieldbus-compatible technology to allow end-to-end interoperability. With...[more]

Lenses have recently increasingly been advertised with a highest possible number of megapixels. With this value, however, the attainable lens resolution cannot be evaluated, which ultimately makes it harder to choose a suitable...[more]

With or without tomatoes, limp lettuce is simply unappetising. To keep food fresh, food suppliers rely on suitable packaging containers. These containers must not have any defects – not even hidden ones. The technology used to...[more]

The best possible solution for an image processing task depends entirely on choosing the right light, because this is what decides the quality of the image capture and the precision of the image evaluation.[more]

A technically adept TV hero needs nothing more than a biro, some chewing gum and a penknife to make a machine work, but in real life, things are somewhat different. Meticulous work goes into making sure that one part works with...[more]

Service often times leaves something to be desired – unfortunately we have all experienced this before. When it is a matter of quality in industrial production, service provision must function exactly and reliably. Even in image...[more]

When establishing the positions for potholes, manhole covers and traffic signs, measurement vehicles must provide their exact position. To this end smart cameras recognise road side markings, measure the distance of the vehicle...[more]

The benchmark is high for the quality and functionality of motor vehicle control systems. As well as the reliability of electrical and mechanical parameters, correct positioning and uniform laser engraving of the buttons play an...[more]

The fact that lighting is a fundamental component of image processing solutions is common knowledge. However, you only recognise the actual importance when you have to deal with the quality control of shiny, highly reflective and...[more]
