Lighting is responsible for illuminating the object and highlighting its distinct features to be viewed by the camera.
One of the critical aspects of machine vision systems; the camera cannot inspect objects that it cannot see.
Lighting can be provided by LED, quartz halogen, fluorescent, and xenon strobe light sources. It can be directional or diffusive.
Machine vision systems are assemblies of integrated electronic components, computer hardware, and software algorithms that offer operational guidance by processing and analyzing the images captured from their environment.
