In the January 2012 issue I wrote an article called “Connectors and Cables 101,” providing a general overview of standard machine vision cabling and connectors.
Standardization is incredibly important to any industry, and none more so than the relatively complex and globally distributed machine vision industry.
According to the results of the recent VDMA Machine Vision Market Survey the industry turnover of the machine vision sector in Germany in 2012 almost reached its previous peak value of 2011.
Counting objects in an image seems like an easy task, which can be automated through machine vision and image analysis, but it becomes difficult when objects touch, move randomly, or are hard to distinguish from their background.
