Matrox smart camera application

“A Complicated Vision,” (ControlDesign.com, May 2011,) is the kind of machine vision application story I like to read. It concerns the use of multiple Matrox Iris cameras to verify the correct assembly of engines at an unnamed manufacturer.

Of particular interest are the reasons for going with the Iris, (no, I’m not going to tell you – click the link,) and the level of detail provided about the particular inspections performed. I wish we could have learned more about the lighting – that’s often left out of application stories – and an insight into the actual measured benefits would have been good too, but we can’t have everything, can we? Still, even without those details, it’s an interesting read.
