Machine vision is the process of automated inspection and sorting of objects using electronic cameras and computers, running specialized software.
It has the ability to measure size, colour, shape and surface features of the object under inspection. There is an enormous amount of data to process to make these measurements, but a good system can do this consistently and very quickly, e.g., in excess of 12 spears per second in the case of asparagus grading.
It is a field that is relatively new and is a concept that is constantly finding new uses. It was born during the 'space race' and is rapidly becoming more powerful and useful as computer power and camera technology improves.
ORAKA has established itself as a leader in one niche in the Machine Vision field and has proved itself capable of creating successful systems to inspect and grade a variety of products.
