Machine Vision System consists of integrated components designed to utilise information gathered from digital images to aid in effective and efficient manufacturing and production operations.

2D vision systems are typical inspection cameras. It consists of capturing 2D images in various resolutions.

There are four types of vision systems that differ from each other, these include:

• 1D vision systems

• 2D vision systems

• 3D vision systems

• Line Scan or Area Scan

With a 2D vision system, the camera would usually process an image across the X and Y planes.

The most common applications of machine visions systems are:

• Barcode recognition

• Object detection

• Object locating

• Defect detection

• Print character recognition

• Component counting

• Measurements

• Robotic guidance
