machine vision
Automated image analysis
Machine vision is the use of cameras and software to give machines the ability to see and interpret their environment.
Industrial systems use machine vision to inspect products, guide robots, or read barcodes.
The technology typically involves capturing images and processing them to extract useful information: The assembly line uses machine vision to detect defective parts.
Distinguished from computer vision, which tends toward broader AI research, machine vision emphasizes practical industrial applications.
