For years vision technology has been an established solution for optical control in the industrial arena. Is it possible to use this technology outside of the industrial field? The answer to this question is clearly "yes", as the following unusual examples show.
After six years of research and development, the stereoscopic vision systems - the eyes of the future Mars robot- have been realised by Magellium (Toulouse) in collaboration with the laboratory for robotics of the CNES (National Space Research Centre, France).
A new approach to multi-camera 3D imaging is set to make a big impact in accurate volume measurement for irregular shaped objects such as sausages in the food industry.
Finding the right cutting position to separate the green from the carrot seems to be no problem for image processing. The following feasability study comes to this conclusion and shows us how CVB Blob and Edge helped to realize it.
This report illustrates the supervision of the printing process of Bingo lottery tickets. The system software is PrintVision from Soft Design together with the pattern recognition tool Minos from STEMMER IMAGING´s software library Common Vision Blox.
Can you check the size and the ripeness of fruit with image processing systems? Using Common Vision Blox makes is possible. The Software Tools CVB Edge and Color are successfully solving this task.
The following application at Thyssen Metal Forming shows the reliable and effective use of vision systems in extremely rough industrial environment.
