Many machine vision applications such as OCR/barcode reading on bottles and containers, or defect detection inside threaded bores require inspecting features randomly located both on the part outer or inner sides, and on the top and bottom surfaces. This paper describes the advantages of using special optics designed for 360° inspection (either using a pericentric design or various lens/mirror combinations) versus multi-camera systems or line-scan imaging.
Hybrid AI helps designers and integrators balance the best solution and integration with existing infrastructure as they navigate through Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence.
Ruggedised lenses address some of the challenges faced in environments with high levels of vibration, shock, and moisture. Edmund Optics explores the features and advantages of different types of ruggedisation in imaging lenses.
