Machine vision and its application General situation of machine vision

In recent years, machine vision has been developed into a thriving application branch of optoelectronics, which any other technologies can not offer. It has been widely used in microelectronics, PCB manufacturing, automobile, printing, scientific research and military, and sparked unseen excitement in Chinese researchers and entrepreneurs. New companies and research groups have mushroomed all over the country overnight. The following topics are briefly discussed in this short paper which is an introduction of a series of articles: the definition of machine vision, the key factors contributing to its development in such a blazing speed, the history and future trend of machine vision technology, the wide applications of machine vision technology, and what the key technologies of machine vision consists of.We hope this series of machine vision technology will give readers a head start.
