Machine vision covers industrial cameras (CMOS, CCD, 3D ToF, 3D structured light), lenses (C/CS/M42/F-mount), lighting (ring, coaxial, backlight), software (HALCON, Vision Pro) and 3D vision (robot hand-eye guidance). Cognex (US), Keyence (JP), Basler (DE), IDS and MVTec (HALCON) lead Europe; deep-learning vision is the new trend.

FAQ
Q GigE vs USB3 industrial cameras?
A
GigE Vision: gigabit Ethernet, 100 m range, multi-camera networks, industrial standard. USB3 Vision: 5 Gbps, short range (5 m), plug-and-play, desktop and mobile. CoaXPress (CXP): 10-25 Gbps for high-speed line-scan.
Q Classical vs deep-learning vision?
A
Classical (HALCON, Vision Pro): explicit rules, explainable, low data needs. Complex defects (scratches, blemishes, marks) defeat classical. Deep learning (Cognex ViDi, MVTec MERLIC, Halcon Deep Learning): few-shot learning of complex features, 95%+ accuracy, but needs GPU and ongoing training.
Q 3D vision applications?
A
Robot hand-eye (pick, locate, assemble), dimensional inspection (CMM replacement), defect detection (welds, castings). Zivid, Photoneo, Cognex In-Sight 3D and SICK Visionary-T are European 3D vision players.
