What is Machine Vision

The technology and methods that are used to provide imaging-based automatic inspection and analysis for applications such as automatic inspection, process control, and robot guiding, typically in industry, are referred to as machine vision. The term "machine vision" encompasses a wide range of technologies, including software and hardware items, integrated systems, activities, procedures, and skilled professionals. Unlike computer vision, which is a subfield of computer science, machine vision is a field of systems engineering that might be considered to be different from computer vision. It seeks to combine existing technologies in novel ways and apply them to the solution of problems that are encountered in the real world. This word is the one that is most commonly used for these functions in situations that involve industrial automation; nevertheless, it is also used for these functions in other environments, such as vehicle guiding.
