Abstract: One of the important roles of machine vision is to promote the improvement of industrial automation, which is the driving force for the development of the domestic machine vision market.
my country's technological level has been continuously developing, and machine vision technology, as a product of technological progress, is constantly being optimized and upgraded to better adapt to industry needs. Machine vision is a process that uses machines to replace human eyes for inspection. Its emergence has greatly improved the level of production automation, increased the efficiency and accuracy of quality inspection, and also opened up many new research fields.
A crucial role of machine vision is its contribution to improving industrial automation, which is currently the driving force behind the development of the domestic machine vision market. User demand is undoubtedly the most decisive factor among the many factors enabling the widespread development of machine vision. As the machine vision market develops and machine vision technology continues to advance, while constantly meeting customer needs, four points cannot be ignored.
I. The testing technology is stable and reliable.
In industrial production, the diversity of objects being measured and the influence of mechanical errors make it difficult to maintain a stable state throughout the inspection process. Therefore, machine vision technology needs to have high stability, adapting to any environment from lighting and image acquisition to image storage and processing. Simultaneously, it must acquire images that highlight the object being inspected to provide the most stable, accurate, and clear inspection results, thus providing technical support for production or quality inspection work.
II. High system cost-effectiveness
While ensuring quality, price is undoubtedly the primary concern for customers. The continuous upgrading of machine vision technology is beneficial to customers, but simply using expensive components will lead to a significant price increase, adding a burden for most users. A high-performance, low-cost system is what can meet the most basic needs; therefore, cost-effectiveness is an important indicator of a system's quality and one of the most important factors for customers when choosing a product.
III. The system is simple and convenient to operate.
Simplifying technical parameters and facilitating processing are the most critical and core elements for system operation. Although machine vision technology is a high-tech field, it still requires continuous adjustment of various parameters to achieve optimal results. However, currently, most operators have limited technical skills. Therefore, system simplification is a fundamental requirement for most customers after considering price and quality, and this simplification mainly includes simplifying the detection process and image processing.
IV. System Long-Term Maintainability
A good system should not only consider usability but also maintainability in long-term operation. The stability and reliability of machine vision technology are sufficient to enable the system to better exert its functional advantages and provide strong technical support in practical applications.
