Machine Vision 4 Users: Sometimes you just have to vent
http://machinevision4users.blogspot.com/2015/06/sometimes-you-just-have-to-vent.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Sometimes you just have to vent. What I didn’t realize though is that venting can improve the way your hardware performs. I bet you’re surprised by that too but it must be true. Why else would Gore, (yes, the people who make GORE TEX fabrics,. Run a webcast called, “Enhancing Sensor Reliability Through Venting”? I learned about this from an email. I couldn’t find anything on their website ( http:/ www.gore.com/en xx/products/venting/index.html. Posted by B Grey. Dr Lau, 3D Guru.

Machine Vision 4 Users: Should we hold a caption contest?
http://machinevision4users.blogspot.com/2015/05/should-we-hold-caption-contest.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. Should we hold a caption contest? The big Automate show has come and gone, but it lives on forever online. As you may know, Vision Systems Design magazine presented awards for special achievement in the machine vision realm at the show. What you may not know is that there is a slideshow of these presentations on the www.vision-systems.com. So I think we should have a caption contest. Let’s see who can come up with the most amusing speech bubbles. Send me an edited/mark...If you'd li...

Machine Vision 4 Users: Job for a rule-loving engineer?
http://machinevision4users.blogspot.com/2015/06/job-for-rule-loving-engineer.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Job for a rule-loving engineer? As an engineer you don't have much of a career path, unless you want to go into management. (I advise against it.) So as a way of recognizing professional seniority and competence the role of Principal Engineer was created. In this context, “Principal” implies head or most senior. Every so often though, I see jobs advertised for “ Principle Engineer. Posted by B Grey. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Friends worth checking out. Dr Lau, 3D Guru.

Machine Vision 4 Users: Camera interface standards
http://machinevision4users.blogspot.com/2015/06/camera-interface-standards.html
Thursday, June 4, 2015. Y impression that the machine vision industry has pretty much standardized on one interface. It’s GigE for area or matrix cameras, leaving USB3 to the scientific/medical community and falling back on CameraLink for linescan applications. (Though I notice Dalsa now has a family of GigE linescan cameras. However, I know other industries like other formats. 8221; I didn’t expect to learn much. But there were a couple of interesting snippets. Large connector and interface driver.

Machine Vision 4 Users: Machine vision education
http://machinevision4users.blogspot.com/2015/06/machine-vision-education.html
Sunday, June 14, 2015. Every so often a reader finds my blog while trying to teach themselves about machine vision. Then I get a very nice email, (I love getting emails – it shows you actually read my rambling thoughts,) asking where they can find good educational material. It’s difficult. There are textbooks, like Nello Zeuch’s “ Understanding and Applying Machine Vision. Posted by B Grey. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Friends worth checking out. Compressed Sensing - whatever that is. If you'd lik...

Machine Vision 4 Users: Why GenICam 3.0 deserves your attention
http://machinevision4users.blogspot.com/2015/06/why-genicam-30-deserves-your-attention.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. Why GenICam 3.0 deserves your attention. Some engineers love standards. They get all excited about reading them, and positively orgasmic when offered the chance to be on a standards committee. 8221; this explains how EMVA has standardized interfaces for 3D cameras in the same way as 2D cameras have been standardized for some years. Also in the new release, some enhanced point-cloud capabilities. Learn more by reading the press release. Posted by B Grey. July 5, 2016 at 8:47 AM.

Machine Vision 4 Users: When you’re backlighting cylindrical parts
http://machinevision4users.blogspot.com/2015/05/when-youre-backlighting-cylindrical.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. When you’re backlighting cylindrical parts. I see backlighting used all the time in machine vision training classes and at trade shows, typically for gauging or locating shapes. Look closely though and you’ll see the targets are flat objects – boxes, stamped parts – those kinds of things. Never machined steel shafts. This means you will see bright pixels in what should be dark areas of the image, and those can play havoc with your vision tools. There is no charge for this snippet o...
