Optical Filters for Machine Vision: Improving Contrast and Reducing Unwanted Light

Machine vision inspection system using controlled illumination and an optical camera

Machine vision performance depends on more than camera resolution, lens quality and illumination intensity. The wavelengths reaching the sensor can have a significant effect on whether a feature is clearly distinguishable from its surroundings. A camera may receive light from the controlled illumination used by the inspection system, ambient factory lighting, daylight and reflections from […]
