This text is intended to provide a balanced introduction to machine vision. Basic concepts are introduced with only essential mathematical elements. The details to allow implementation and use of vision algorithm in practical application are provided, and engineering aspects of techniques are emphasized. This text intentionally omits theories of machine vision that do not have sufficient practi...

a new method based upon gabor filter and machine vision for the recognition of pistachio varieties is proposed throughout the current study. in the suggested method, the image of a set number of pistachios is considered to represent a texture; instead of one by one pistachio processing (which is actually done in the current methods) the new method is expected to represent a higher rating as wel...

Micro machine vision system is an important part of a micromanipulating system which has been used widely in many fields. As the research activities on the micromanipulating system go deeper, micro machine vision system catches more attention. In this paper, micro machine vision system is treated as a kind of machine vision system with constrains and characteristics introduced by specific appli...
