Industrial machine vision cameras and sensors are finding their way into applications both on and off the manufacturing floor. On a production line, machine vision systems far exceed the inspection capabilities of humans and can inspect thousands of parts per minute repeatedly and reliably. A machine vision system can easily assess object details that are not visible by the human eye and inspect them with greater reliability and less error.
Outside of manufacturing, many applications, including military, law enforcement, healthcare, and entertainment, are taking advantage of the same imaging technology that was used solely by industrial manufacturers.
