Embedded in this new arrangement, the individual components together into a device, machine vision thus become embedded vision.
Machine vision is a machine the ability to perceive their environment visually. Typical settings include a camera for capturing images, the camera is connected to the cable PC and PC for image processing.
The main advantage of this arrangement is simple. Plug assembly is connected via standard interfaces (e.g., USB, GigE), and using standard protocols (USB3 Vision, GigE Vision). Because of their standard operating system (such as Windows) used in conjunction with, so developers can use a commercial image processing library quickly and efficiently create other software.
On the other hand, such systems require a lot of space and has a relatively high power consumption. Their most notable disadvantage is the high cost of the system. However, recent technological advances make a "drop-in" form factor realization of image processing solutions possible, keeping the form factor has previously only in high-end camera and PC available in the system performance.
Embedded in this new arrangement, the individual components together into a device, machine vision thus become embedded vision.
Embedded vision system comprising a camera without a housing (referred to as a board camera), which is connected directly to the cable by an inexpensive processing board (also referred to as embedded boards). The image processing board treated in the same classic machine vision processing executed by setting PC.
