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.
Selecting and correctly configuring the optimal illumination setup is one of the key factors when designing a vision system. Missing image information caused by incorrect illumination makes subsequent analysis much more difficult or even impossible, as no analysis algorithm can recover information that has never been captured.
Getting the best image is a combination of the right illumination, the right lensing and filters to complement and enhance the features in the image with a camera that is set up correctly.
Light source placed behind the object so that it appears dark on a light background.
