In its seminar, Allied Vision will give an overview of the machine vision and embedded vision worlds, and what differentiates them. With the rise of powerful single board computers and system on modules, machine vision and embedded vision are moving closer together. Even though the pure processing power of embedded systems still falls behind traditional PC-based systems, they often employ dedicated hardware to accelerate certain tasks directly on the board.
