Tech Trends in Machine Vision

Machine vision has long been a mainstay of science fiction, so much so that many consumers may think that most of the industrial world is completely vision-enabled. That isn’t quite true yet, but machine vision has actually played an important role in improving manufacturing operations since the 1980s.

As the technology progressed out of research laboratories and into practical implementations, and as hardware and software underpinnings have advanced, machine vision capabilities and applications have multiplied.
