What is machine vision?
Vision solutions give machines the ability to ‘see’ and take actions to support or replace manual inspections tasks with the use of digital cameras and image processing. The technology is used in a wide range of industries and applications to automate the production process. Machine vision is a key technology to improve product quality and to optimize the production yield, cost, and throughput.
When to use 2D?2D is ideal for applications where objects and features can be distinguished by different colors or contrast. It is also perfect for verification of textures, patterns, and codes.
When to use 3D?With the third dimension in 3D vision, it adds information about objects’ volume, height, pose, and actual shape. It can also be used to distinguish items of the same color or pattern, thus enabling more reliable solutions.
