Synopsis

With the demands of quality management and process control in an industrial environment machine vision is becoming an important issue. This handbook of machine vision is written by experts from leading companies in this field. It goes through all aspects of image acquisition and image processing. From the viewpoint of the industrial application the authors also elucidate in topics like illumination or camera calibration. Attention is paid to all hardware aspects, starting from lenses and camera systems to camera-computer interfaces. Besides the detailed hardware descriptions the necessary software is discussed with equal profoundness. This includes sections on digital image basics as well as image analysis and image processing. Finally the user is introduced to general aspects of industrial applications of machine vision, such as case studies and strategies for the conception of complete machine vision systems. With this handbook the reader will be enabled not only to understand up to date systems for machine vision but will also be qualified for the planning and evaluation of such technology.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

With the demands made of quality management and process control within an industrial environment, machine vision is becoming an increasingly important issue. Written by experts from leading companies operating in the field, this handbook covers all aspects of image acquisition and image processing.
The authors approach the subject in terms of industrial applications, elucidating such topics as illumination and camera calibration. Throughout, they concentrate on all hardware aspects, ranging from lenses and camera
systems to camera-computer interfaces, as well as discussing the necessary software in equal detail.

Equipped with this handbook, readers will not only be able to understand the latest systems for machine vision but will also be qualified to plan and evaluate such technology.
