Unlike high-volume consumer and automotive applications that demand consumer-level pricing, machine vision applications in manufacturing are not nearly as large. However, these applications require performance and precision and take advantage of the developments and advances in image sensing for the larger markets. Two technologies provide the vision sensing capability for image capturing: charge-coupled device (CCD) […]
