Vision Systems

Image processing converts a target image captured by a CCD camera into a digital signal and then performs various arithmetic operations on the signal to extract the characteristics of the target, such as area, length, quantity and position. Finally, a differentiation result is output based on preset tolerance limits.

Flow chart of image processing





The ambient light (sunlight/illumination light) is reflected by the target, and the reflected light converges back through the lens. The target image is focused on the twodimensional CCD image pickup element.



A video signal (analog signal) proportional to the brightness is sent from the CCD image pickup element to the controller. The controller detects a difference in target area, shape or displacement based on the A/D converted data (8 bit = 256 levels).
