Abstract
Visual inspection can be modeled as a data processing procedure involving analysis of distributed image information. This chapter will discuss the nature of the data processing involved, and will outline procedures for instrumenting visual recognition, orientation, and measurement for industrial process control. It will illustrate how modern data processing technology can be applied to automate visual inspection with speeds and accuracies far beyond human capabilities.
