Machine vision features:

(1) intelligence: a collection of computer and human vision of the advantages of high intelligence and automation, easy to automatically handle;

(2) high efficiency: machine vision system is fast, can significantly reduce operating costs, improve production speed and efficiency;

(3) accurate and reliable: different from the general sense of the image processing system, machine vision more emphasis on accuracy and speed, and industrial field environment reliability.

In the modern manufacturing industry, machine vision technology is widely used in food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, building materials and chemical, metal processing, electronics manufacturing, packaging, automobile manufacturing and other industries. E.g:

(1) the electronics industry, machine vision inspection system can quickly detect the order of the cable is wrong, the electronic components are wrong with equipment,

(2) automobile manufacturing, machine vision system can verify the accuracy of automotive installation equipment to prevent leakage and anti-loaded equipment;

(3) food, packaging, pharmaceutical industry, machine vision inspection system can closely monitor product quality, appearance, date, bar code. In addition, machine vision can also be used for face recognition, autopilot and other cutting-edge areas.

Machine vision technology initially focused on Europe and the United States and Japan. As the global manufacturing center moves to China, China is becoming one of the most dynamic regions in the world of machine vision. Currently, China's machine vision industry, the market continued to grow, the market size is expected in 2016 will reach 3.8 billion US dollars, 2018 more than 5 billion US dollars. The machine vision market has brought new business opportunities has become the focus of attention of industry vendors.
