Install "3D Eyes" for the machine. Machine vision is moving towards the golden age of development.


Machine vision technology has been realized in productization and practical use. The functions of lenses, high-speed cameras, light sources, image software, image acquisition, vision processors and other related products are becoming more and more perfect. Machine vision technology is playing an increasingly important role in the information age. Character. With the warming of the artificial intelligence industry, the machine vision industry is expected to move to a new stage of development, and the market scale will accelerate.
Human beings observe and understand the world through the eyes. Machine vision is generally the "eye" on the machine. It is the visual organ that the machine perceives the world. Machine vision can perceive the world and interact with the outside world to realize automation and intelligence. Therefore, machine vision is called the core technology of future artificial intelligence.
Machine vision simulates human visual functions through computer or image processing and related equipment, extracts information from images of objective things and processes them, so that the machine can obtain relevant visual information and understand it, and finally use it in the fields of actual detection and control. Whether it can truly realize the key to all things interconnection and intelligent manufacturing, involving artificial intelligence, neurobiology, computer science, image processing, pattern recognition and many other fields, is an interdisciplinary integrated innovation field.
According to market research reports, the global machine vision market will be US$8.08 billion in 2015. By 2020, the market size will reach US$12.5 billion. Among them, the scale of China's machine vision market will be 6.12 billion yuan in 2015, and the market size will reach 15.2 billion by 2020. Yuan, the year-on-year growth rate was 28.57%. It can be said that the machine vision market has ushered in the golden period of industry development.
It is often asked, what is the difference between intelligence and automation? The answer is perception, including sight, hearing, touch, and so on. Like humans, the current robotic vision system is becoming the "organ" for which they receive the most information.
The new generation of technology enables the robot to have a pair of "3D eyes", using the latest laser (blue) projection scanning imaging technology, its 29-megapixel camera can continuously shoot 30 pictures in one second, and build a three-dimensional model. And create coordinates for each part. Through coordinate positioning, it can distinguish which product is on top and which one is below in the messy parts, and even grab any part of the irregular part as required. For example, take a wrench and take the middle instead of two.
In addition, the robot's eyes can not only create 3D models, but also have RF sensing or scanning technology. Using the scanning code technology, the AGV trolley (automatic guided transport vehicle) scans the code to obtain information instructions and complete related operations.
At present, the machine vision industry includes upstream component-level market, mid-stream system integration/machine equipment market and downstream application market. Although the industry has just started, the competition is fierce, and the global Internet and semiconductor giants have laid out, showing that intelligent image processing will be under An arena.
Although China's machine vision industry started late, it has developed very fast and has become the world's third largest machine vision market after the United States and Japan. In the face of increasingly fierce competition in the mainland market, machine vision manufacturers are speeding up their products and product technology is developing rapidly. This will inevitably put higher demands on competitors. In the past, simple imitation reproduction is no longer feasible, and its own technology and products. Features are the focus that vendors need to consider and explore.
If we fall behind in the field of machine vision, we will be subject to foreign countries in the future, and we can only become a secondary application developer and product agent for foreign machine vision. It is also costly and cannot complete the transformation and upgrading of domestic manufacturing. Intelligent manufacturing. However, as the cost of machine vision gradually decreases, with more solutions, more powerful hardware, smarter algorithms, and the IoT connection to all devices, machine vision will be an excellent data collection tool.
