Industrial Image Processing

This practical introduction focuses on how to design integrated solutions for industrial vision tasks from individual algorithms. The book is now available in a revised second edition that takes into account the current technological developments, including camera technology and color imaging processing. It gives a hands-on guide for setting up automated visual inspection systems using real-world examples and the NeuroCheck® standard software that has proven industrial strength integrated in thousands of applications in real-world production lines. Based on many years of experience in industry, the authors explain all the essential details encountered in the creation of vision system installations. With example material and a demo version of the software found on "extras.springer.com" readers can work their way through the described inspection tasks and carry out their own experiments.

This practical introduction focuses on how to build integrated solutions to industrial vision problems from individual algorithms. It gives a hands-on guide for setting up automated visual inspection systems using real-world examples and the NeuroCheck software package. This software is used for on-line visual inspection in many industrial production processes. Based on many years of experience in industries, the editors explain all the (mostly unpublished but essential) details encountered in the creation of real-world vision systems. With the original NeuroCheck software package and all the example images included on CD-ROM, readers can work their way through the described inspection tasks and carry out their own experiments.
