3. Machine Vision
• Machine vision (MV) is the application of computer
vision to industry and manufacturing. Whereas
computer vision is the general discipline of making
computers see (understand what is perceived visually),
machine vision, being an engineering discipline, is
interested in digital input/output devices and
computer networks to control other manufacturing
equipment such as robotic arms and equipment to
eject defective products. Machine Vision is a subfield
of engineering that is related to computer science,
optics, mechanical engineering, and industrial
automation.
• One of the most common applications of Machine Vision is the inspection of
manufactured goods such as semiconductor chips, automobiles, food and
pharmaceuticals. Just as human inspectors working on assembly lines visually
inspect parts to judge the quality of workmanship, so machine vision systems use
digital cameras, smart cameras and image processing software to perform similar
inspections.

5. High Speed Print Inspection
• High Speed line scan (36,000
lines/second). Scan speed of 100
mts/min
• Useful for flexographic printing
inspection
• Image processing functions include
– OCR
– Missing Print
– Partial Print
– Presence/Absence of symbols/logos
– Counting
– Cataloguing
6. Multi Camera Inspection
• Used in slower printing lines
• Inspection speeds of 60 frames per
second
• Commonly used for security print
