Theia's lenses help capture clear images of car crash testing. The MY23F lens is rugged and can survive impact at 50mph, while providing undistorted images.

Microscope objectives focus light and form images. There are two types: finite and infinite conjugate. Designers consider magnification, numerical aperture (NA), and cost. NA is important but not the only factor in performance.

Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, aims to mimic the learning process of the human brain. Learn how it improves through repetition and requires larger data sets and longer processing times to achieve reliable accuracy and sophistication.

RDMA is an alternative to UDP for high-bandwidth, multi-camera applications, providing an efficient data transfer mechanism that bypasses the CPU and operating system. By storing image data directly onto the host PC's memory, RDMA is ideal for managing large volumes of data in modern high-bandwidth Ethernet camera applications.

One of many driving factors behind this automation growth is that the convergence of multiple technologies — including AI, robotics, and machine vision — has enabled the industry to democratize automation by making it easier to deploy and operate.

It has always been a challenge to keep 3D products in focus under the camera or to quickly scan various objects at different distances. Liquid lens is a new technology that has been developed to adjust the focus of the optic an easier process.

What are the main considerations to keep in mind when choosing a machine vision system for a cobot-based application?

SWIR illumination and imaging unlock powerful new ways of differentiating materials and chemicals that look similar under visible light.

Since no programming skills are required for easy-to-use machine vision software, industrial image processing can provide a valuable contribution to digitization for small and medium-sized companies.
