Liquid lenses for machine vision: innovative solutions to get the best out of your system

This article is brought to you by: 

Liquid lenses are arguably among the most interesting technological innovations in the field of optics and have also attracted a lot of attention in machine vision. In this white paper, we will discuss how Opto Engineering integrates liquid lenses into different types of optics to give them particular characteristics.

Advantages of special lenses for top and side inspection vs multi-camera systems

This article is brought to you by: 

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.

Opto Engineering®

Opto Engineering® has evolved through the years, releasing hundreds of new, diverse products and developing multiple areas of expertise. Today we can say that we specialize in OPTICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES. Our focus is to build and provide every single component needed to solve imaging applications: starting from the optical know-how and going through competence in lighting, we can supply the best combination of tools available on the machine vision market: optics, lighting, cameras, software and vision units.

Lessons in training neural nets

Limited data is a common problem when training CNNs in industrial imaging applications. Petra Thanner and Daniel Soukup, from the Austrian Institute of Technology, discuss ways of working with CNNs when data is scarce
