Q&A FOR GUARANTEED SUCCESS
Fundamental Machine Vision Process Tasks: in order (no system architecture
deviates from this) - correct-answer-acquisition‐>analysis‐>data and results
At the most basic level all systems use the same constituent building blocks: (what
are they?) - correct-answer-optics/illumination‐>imaging device‐>computing
device/software
What are the typical characteristics of:
general purpose machine vision ‐ external computer or "PC‐based"
& similar system architectures? - correct-answer-High flexibility and scalability in
both imaging devices and computing power, often general purpose libraries and
operating systems
"Centralized" processing
, 2|Page
What are the typical characteristics of:
smart cameras
& similar system architectures? - correct-answer-Good price/performance ratio, in
