Machine Vision Introduction

The machine vision system is to use the machine to replace the human eye measurement and judgment, it automatically obtain the target image by the optical device and non-contact sensor, and the image processing equipment for various operation processing and discriminant analysis according to the income distribution of the image pixels, the brightness and color information to extract the desired information or features according to the discriminant analysis results for some of the local equipment motion control. The image processing equipment in the machine vision system usually uses the computer, so the machine vision is sometimes called the computer vision.

Market Size Prediction of Machine Vision

In recent years, in order to make the machine more like human beings, able to cognize things, thus deciding and deep learning, computer vision technology and application develop rapidly. The global machine vision market is developing rapidly. According to the data of machine vision industry development prospects and investment forecast analysis released by foresight Industry Research Institute, the market scale of global machine vision system reached 11 in 2002. 300 million dollars, the global machine vision market in 2016 is about $6 billion 200 million, and the average annual growth rate of the 2002-2016 year market is about 12%.

According to foreign research institutions--Markets and Markets, the global market will reach 12 billion 500 million dollars by 2020. By the end of 2025, the global market will exceed 19 billion 200 million dollars, and machine vision will have huge space in the future.

With the shift of global manufacturing center to China, China's machine vision market is becoming an important target market for International Machine Vision manufacturers after North America, Europe and Japan. In recent years, China's machine vision market is growing rapidly, and its driving force is mainly due to the large demand growth of many industries, such as electronic manufacturing, municipal transportation, automobile, food and packaging machinery, and the demand growth of automation products, including machine vision.

At present, the sales of industrial robots in the Chinese market are growing at an average annual growth rate of 30%. In 2016, China sold 88992 industrial robots, up 29 over the same period. 99%, accounting for 30 of global sales. 69%. Instead of Japan as the world's largest industrial robot market, cars, metal products, electricity and other industries are the main driving force. Now, China has entered more than 200 international machine vision brands, and China has more than 100 machine vision brands. Machine vision has more than 370 agents, and more than 70 professional machine vision systems integrators. These figures show that the development of machine vision in China is really swift and violent.

Development trend of machine vision industry

At present, machine vision technology is using some functions of computers to imitate biological vision, which is far from real biological vision. To achieve the complete biological visual function effect, engineers and engineers need to work hard and earnestly study.

In foreign countries, the machine vision technology has been widely used, the machine vision products are diversified, and the machine vision technology is also increasing. But in China, due to the popularization of machine vision products and the popularization of technology in recent years, it has just started, so it has not been widely used, and the comprehensive development needs further improvement.

The machine vision product market has undergone the transformation of the largest market share of the embedded system products that have been dominated by the former board type product (PC-based). With the rapid development of computer technology and microelectronics technology, the embedded system is used more and more widely, the reliability of embedded operating system development, good maintainability, easy to constantly improve and upgrade, therefore, embedded products will gradually replace the card based products, this is the development trend of the industry. However, this does not mean that the board card product is meaningless. Compared with the embedded system development product, the board type product needs higher technology level. The introduction of higher technical level of board - Card visual products is of great help to improve the research and development strength of machine vision products in China.
