Machine Vision

The document discusses different types of machine vision lighting techniques including bright field and dark field lighting. Bright field lighting images reflected light so surfaces with indentations may not be defined well, while dark field images scattered light. The document also mentions vidicon cameras, CCD cameras which use MOS capacitors, and different types of digital images like grayscale, color, and binary.

● Bright field lighting is the method for imaging reflected light. That is, the light coming from
the source is reflected into the camera so that small defects and edges which typically scatter
light are not picked up by the camera. This creates a bright image, but areas with engravings,
scratches, or indentations may not be as well defined. In addition, due to the reflection of
light, reflective surfaces are difficult to image with this lighting set-up. The light source will
be scattered less by the object’s surface and more light will be reflected back into the
camera, causing a bright spot in the image, as seen below. To properly set up Bright Field
Lighting, you want the light sources to be at an angle to the subject or imaging surface of 45
and 90 degrees. Typically positioning these light sources closer to the subject or surface is
advantageous, as this helps cover a larger surface area and can help eliminate some of the
issues seen with imaging reflective surfaces or edges.
