Aim
The objective is to provide the students with an overview of machine vision systems, their applications, algorithms and modeling.
Course objectives
After completion of the course the student shall be able to:
- Select a machine vision based optical measurement method for acquisition of 2D or 3D objects.
- Select illumination from standard components for a selected machine vision based measurement method.
- Describe the optics required for a given problem and chosen measurement method.
- Select a camera from a given problem description.
- Design and model functions for image processing and analysis of selected objects. These functions can consist of: pre-processing, frequency analysis, segmentation, morphology, labeling and analysis of objects.
