MACHINE VISION TECHNOLOGY
LIGHTING
• The incident light shall present the objects or scenes
in the optimal way to be recognized or analyzed.
• The lighting unit selection and its configuration in a
machine vision system depend on the application,
UV (200_/400 nm), VIS (400_/700 nm), or NIR
(700_/2500 nm), thermal imaging ( > 2500 nm).
• The light may be transmitted, reflected, or absorbed
by object.
• The absorbed light can also be re-emitted
(fluorescence).
• A number of compounds emit fluorescence in the
Visual region when excited with UV radiation. This is
an integrated function of the angle and wavelength
of the incident light and chemical and physical
composition of the object.

IMAGE PROCESSING AND
ANALYSIS SOFTWARE
CCD CAMERAS
• Quality images are required to identify features.
• An imaging camera converts the light from the object
into electrical signals using a charge-coupled device
(CCD).
• Monochrome imaging is adopted to perform simple
operations like shape and size recognition.
• Multi spectral cameras are used for detection of
surface defects and diseases on meat, grains, fruits,
and vegetables, etc.
• Efficient hardware and software are required to
process the images fast enough for on-line
implementation.

MACHINE VISION TECHNOLOGY
MONOCHROME IMAGING
• Monochrome imaging requires a single-
chip CCD and can sense Visual and NIR.
• The resolution (number of pixels) of a CCD
depends on the nature of applications.
• Monochrome imaging along with colour
imaging is used for the detection of
blemishes, bruises, scars, cracks in fruits
and vegetables.

MACHINE VISION TECHNOLOGY
COLOR IMAGING
HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING
• Combines imaging and spectroscopy.
– Each pixel on the image surface possesses a spectral
signature of the object at that pixel.
• Two general approaches:
– Capture a series of narrow-band spectral images to
accomplish a three-dimensional image cube.
– Pushbroom method where a line of spatial information with
a full spectral range per spatial pixel is captured
sequentially to complete a volume of spatial-spectral data.
Typically this method uses a line scan camera with
odditional optics.

SOME HYPERSPECTRAL
MACHINE VISION TECHNOLOGY
APPLICATIONS
Identify materials and detect subtle and/or
minor features in an object.
Precision agriculture- detection of plant
stress or crop infestation.
Agricultural product quality and safety
sensing.
Applied to measure soluble solids
distribution in fruits.
Capable of both airborne and
ground/laboratory data acquisitions using a
LCTF (450 to 750 nm).

MACHINE VISION TECHNOLOGY
MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING
• Multispectral imaging consists of a set of
several images, each acquired at a narrow
band of wavelengths using
– Liquid crystal Tunable filter (LCTF)
– Acousto-optic Tunable filter (AOTF)
– Multiple filters.

Typical hyperspectral image data for the
contaminated and uncontaminated surfaces
of the apples.
In general uncontaminated apple surface showed higher
reflectance in the visual region ( > 600 nm) and NIR regions
compared to the defective or contaminated surfaces except for
the bruise spots, which had higher reflectance.
Area with scabs exhibited the lowest reflectances.

ON-LINE POULTRY INSPECTION BY
A MULTI-CAMERA SYSTEM
These systems are able to detect and
identify carcasses unfit for human
consumption.
A total of 15 horizontal layers are
generated from each segmented
image.
For each layer a centroid is Front - 540 nm Front - 200 nm
calculated from the binary image.
Based on these centroids, each layer
was divided into several square
blocks [ 16 x 16 pixels ] for a total of
107 blocks.
The intensities variations in each of
the block are studied with respect to Back - 540 nm Back - 200 nm
wavelength region of 540 and 700 nm.
