The uses of machine vision The applications of machine vision fall into three broad categories: ● Process control ● Quality control ● Non-industrial applications (for example, traffic control), which are outside the scope of this introduction, though of increasing importance. Inspection by human beings often cannot keep pace with modern industry’s requirements for speed of production and quality of product. People get tired and make mistakes, and the criteria that they apply during inspections are inevitably subjective. Also, in some cases, it is not humanly possible to perform the inspection task due to the environmental conditions. The cameras and computer systems that make up a machine vision system, in contrast, carry out measurements with a constant precision
