Using Color in Machine-Vision Applications
21 February 2012
Free to Attend.
Approximately one hour.

register:WEBCAST

Manufacturers use color vision to solve three primary vision applications: part verification, sorting, and defect inspection. This Webcast - Using Color in Machine-Vision Applications -  will look at different color models that can be used to perform these types of inspections and show through specific examples how they are used in each of these applications. It will provide engineers and system integrators with the basic information tools so that they can combine machine vision and color in their applications to meet manufacturing challenges. Archer will discuss the applications in terms of the OEM components that are used, such as lighting, cameras, and machine vision software.

Areas of focus include:

  • Color cameras and how to obtain a color image from an RGB-based camera
  • Bayer interpolation and how it is performed, showing the different methods and results
  • Camera calibration including the effects of different lighting conditions on color images
  • The primary color models used in machine vision: RGB, HSI, CIE 1931 XYZ color space, and its derivatives such as CIELUV, CIEUVW, and CIELAB
  • Which color models are best for which types of application
