Course Description

This course will introduce the theory, applications and techniques of machine vision and will provide students with an understanding of the problems and solutions involved in the development of machine vision systems. Students will learn different techniques in lighting an environment or product using multiple lighting sources, how to match filters to lighting sources and camera lens focal lengths, and will be exposed to two-dimensional physical camera hardware platforms. Programming and software setup aspects of the course introduce algorithms of image processing that are necessary for vision or feature extraction. Applications to robotics and intelligent machine interaction are discussed. Prerequisites of MECH 1310 and MECH 1340. F
