Machine vision has been a rapidly advancing sector, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into the system has propelled its functionalities to new heights.
The evolution of machine vision lenses now incorporates AI and ML to provide superior object recognition and defect detection. “One big movement we see is with liquid lenses being integrated into camera technology,” says Jon Chouinard, vice president, sales and marketing, 1stVision. “Artificial intelligence and machine learning will have benefits in using the controls being built into cameras to adjust the focus using liquid lenses.”
