This course will provide the potential user, developer, or current practitioner with a broad understanding of the tools available for the application of machine vision and optical metrology methods as applied to industrial inspection and measurement needs. Material covered in this course will include the selection of optical components such as lenses, filters, cameras and light sources to achieve specific performance objectives. In addition, this course will review a wide range of standard and specialized methods of lighting, imaging and analyzing industrial parts using current off-the-shelf systems and software packages. Finally, this course will provide case study examples of successful applications and the steps needed to reach such success. Attendees are encouraged to bring their application problems for a hands-on workshop session with actual machine vision hardware and software at the end of the course.
