Machine Vision
Machine vision has been defined as the use of devices for
optical, non-contact sensing to automatically receive and
interpret an image of a real scene in order to obtain information
and/or control machines or processes. Contact the UK Industrial
Vision Association for information about machine
vision solutions and image processing systems technology
used by manufacturing industry in the UK, particulalry where
automatic inspection is required. The Association offers free
advice via phone or e-mail to enquirers - wherever they are
in the world - seeking help in specifying or sourcing industrial
vision systems or imaging systems components.
Because the Word Wide Web knows no national boundaries, the
Association has become a source of information to potential
users of machine vision technology, regardless of their
location. Equally, the downloadable resources available on
this site are free to any visitor who registers. Machine Vision is concerned with the engineering of integrated mechanical-optical-electronic-software systems for examining objects and materials, artifacts and manufacturing processes, in order to detect defects and improve quality, operating efficiency and the safety of both products and processes.
The only advertising material shown on this site is from
our members. It is designed to be quick to respond - no large
graphics are included. Information about individual members
is supplied by the members concerned, but is subject to acceptance
by the committee of the Association - for instance, unsubstantiated
claims to 'world leadership' are excluded. The Association
is a not-for-profit 'Company limited by guarantee', governed
by an elected committee, and was founded in 1992.
