Market OverviewNAFB-30 8

Market Overview—Definitions In comparison to other industrial monitoring and inspection technologies, the machine vision market is a relatively young discipline. Machine vision technologies were first used for military inspection applications in the 1940s and 1950s, until advancements led to rapid commercialisation of these solutions in the 1980s and 1990s. Similar to human inspectors working on a production line, a machine vision system is used for high-speed analysis of digital images using a combination of electronic, lighting, optic, software, and automation technology. For the purpose of this study, the global industrial machine vision market includes application of vision technology to industrial applications such as manufacturing and production environments. Nonindustrial applications, such as traffic surveillance, security, and medical diagnostics, have not been included in the scope of this research. All references to revenue are in U.S. dollars.

Market Overview—Definitions (continued)For the purpose of this research, Frost & Sullivan has analysed the market for machine vision systems andcomponents.Vision systems—These systems include machine visions systems that are application specific and basedon personal computers (PCs), as well as standalone, fully integrated systems such as smart cameras,embedded vision processors, and vision sensors.Industrial Cameras—In a typical machine vision application, the camera is positioned on the productionline to capture the image of the part to be inspected. This is the most critical component of the system. Thissegment includes analogue and digital cameras. Smart cameras are not included.Optics and illumination system—Optics typically use lenses to focus the image of the object, while theillumination or lighting system illuminates an object for viewing by the lens or camera.Image-acquisition system, or frame grabber—The main purpose of the frame grabber is to interface withthe camera and capture the camera’s output to transfer data to a computer.Machine vision software—Once the data are transferred to a computer, sophisticated software is used toanalyse and manipulate the image, extract information, and generate decisions based on those images.
