Abstract

Machine vision and automated visual inspection are rapidly finding their way into industrial measurement and quality control in the technical and engineering sectors. This development especially benefits from increasingly powerful computers and reasonably priced camera components.

This book provides insight into the fascinating and very up-to-date topic of automated visual inspection and image processing. An extensive content is presented in an easily comprehensible way and is explained using various examples. No particular previous knowledge is required.
