11:45am

12:30pm

Advanced Illumination Closed, Class Size at Capacity "Optimize Lighting for your Vision Inspection" - Are you frustrated with the "one light does it all" approach, or overwhelmed with the choices of lighting types, techniques and geometries available? There is an old adage that implies "a picture is only as good as its negative" - the same can be said for machine vision lighting. Sample-appropriate lighting allows for little or no image pre-processing, less complexity, and better inspection consistency and robustness. This seminar will familiarize you with the 4 lighting cornerstones - geometry, structure, color and filtering, and we will emphasize application examples. Learn how to scientifically analyze to optimize the lighting, and to develop your own "Standard Lighting Method".
