Vision System Selection
Resolution and lighting before algorithms.
Requirements first
| Requirement | Determines |
|---|---|
| Smallest feature to detect | Resolution and lens |
| Working distance | Optics and mounting |
| Tolerance needed | Calibration approach |
| Cycle time | Camera frame rate and processing |
Do not skip lighting
A stable, directional light with repeatable part presentation outperforms a higher-resolution camera with poor illumination. Test with production parts, including the dirty ones.
