Vision Systems 320

Vision Systems provides an overview of industrial vision systems and how they are used in factory automation. A vision system uses cameras, image sensors, lighting, and processing software. Vision system cameras require adequate lighting to function effectively and must be mounted properly. Visions systems can be integrated into an automated production line or with industrial robots. Integrating vision systems into automated production lines to extract and use image data is known as machine vision. Machine vision is most commonly used for inspection, identification, material handling, fabrication, and machining. After taking this class, users will be familiar with common vision system characteristics, components, types, and applications, as well as their general operating process.
