Design Considerations

Machine vision (MV) refers to both industrial and non-industrial applications where operational guidance is provided to equipment for the execution of functions based on the capture and processing of images. Basically, this is providing "sight" or "vision" to otherwise "blind" equipment. This greatly enhances the capabilities of the equipment, resulting in improved product quality, increased productivity and decreased costs. TI's comprehensive solutions cover the entire video chain - everything from the initial capture of video content to the final viewing experience.
