Knowledge base
Learn more about machine vision! In our knowledge base we are explaining key technical terms about image processing. We give you an overview to topics like 3D machine vision or the established standards like CameraLink, GigE Vision or GenICam.
IEEE 1394 - FireWire
IEEE 1394 (also known as FireWire) was originally developed by Apple Computers as a flexible interconnection bus for consumer digital video and computer peripherals such as hard drives and printers.
Image arithmetic and flat-field correction
There are many arithmetic operations that can be performed on images. These work on a pixel-by-pixel basis; reading one or more pixel values, performing an arithmetic function on the pixel and exporting the result as an output image.
Image Processing
Digital image processing generally comprises the generation, transmission and analysis of images and image information.
Image processing and analysis tools
Machine vision systems deploy many image processing tools to manipulate input images and produce one or more output images.
Inspection tools
Inspection tools differ from processing tools in that they deliver single or multiple data sets gained from an image instead of the full image. Results can be in the form of simple pass/fail, a measurement, item location, feature count, text string or a classification score.
