Industrial Machine Vision

This course will offer advanced undergraduate and master's students a practical introduction to industrial applications of machine vision and will provide theoretical, hands-­on experience with automation and visual inspection technologies. Computer Vision, the automated analysis of images and video sequences, began as a research subject within computer science and engineering and has become an accepted technology with industrial applications. Current industry applications of machine vision: Electronics, metal, automotive, wood, plastics, paper, textiles, films, food manufacturing, biomedicine. Common functions: Recognition of features or components, guidance of assembly, robotic arms or vehicles, welding, dispensing; and inspection, measurement, detection of defects.
