Learning outcomes
The subject gives an overview of principles and possibilities of technology scene visualisation (machine vision) and its application on production lines and robotized workplaces (robot vision). It deals with the basic means of obtaining image data, physical principles of image acquisition, post-processing, analysis, interpretation and evaluation of image data. Overview of chips types, industrial cameras and lighting, lenses, data transfer types, and interface.
