Abstract
Machine vision (system vision) comprises using computer vision in industry. While computer vision is focused mainly on image processing at the level of hardware, machine vision most often requires the use of additional hardware I/O (input/output) and computer networks to transmit information generated by the other process components, such as a robot arm. One of the most common applications of machine vision is inspection of the products such as microprocessors, cars, food and pharmaceuticals. Machine vision systems are used increasingly to solve problems of industrial inspection, allowing for complete automation of the inspection process and to increase its accuracy and efficiency. In the case of manual inspection on the production line as well as in the case of application of machine vision systems, digital cameras, smart cameras and image processing software have been used. This paper presents the principle of image processing, the components of the system and possible applications of machine vision in the present.
