Effilux started with three young engineers who graduated from the Institut d’Optique Graduate School in France. They had a simple idea: that optics and lenses combined with LEDs would revolutionise ...

Advanced LED lighting arrays can spectrally tune their output wavelength to highlight different features and defects in captured images. The capability enables a single light fixture to quickly adapt ...

A novel camera system using active lighting devised by Penn State researchers may be a crucial step in developing machine vision systems that allow robotic devices to more clearly "see" the ...

Automation engineers must carefully manage the expectations and realities of machine vision systems to avoid project delays or failures. Misconceptions about when to integrate vision inspections often ...

A research team has recently developed a groundbreaking neuromorphic exposure control (NEC) system that revolutionizes machine vision under extreme lighting variations. This biologically inspired ...

Machine vision systems are becoming increasingly common across multiple industries. Manufacturers use them to streamline quality control, self-driving vehicles implement them to navigate, and robots ...

Manufacturing stands at a crossroads where traditional methods intersect with the promise of advanced technology. Machine vision, once a specialized field, is now central to transforming factory ...

Another driving force in the move toward LEDs for machine-vision lighting is smarter LED drivers, some of which sit on the same chip as the image sensor. The added intelligence allows the light source ...

Machine vision systems serve a vast range of industries and markets. They are used in factories, laboratories, studios, hospitals and inspection stations all over the world—and even on other planets.
