Machine vision systems
In this section, we will see some concepts about machine vision, the requirements to understand detection, and processing the image to be applied to the machine vision system.
Introduction to machine vision
Machine vision is a machine with camera capabilities and an understanding of what objects are. The machine uses its camera to sense physical objects around its environment. Machine vision or computer vision is a field where a machine acquires, analyzes, and understands a still image or video. This field involves techniques such as image processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning.
The pattern recognition and machine learning fields help us teach our machine to understand images. For instance, when we show a still image with people inside a car to the machine, then the machine should identify the people. Furthermore, in some cases the machine also should guess the person in an image. From a pattern recognition and machine learning viewpoint, we should register...
