The global 3D machine vision market size was estimated at USD 1.32 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increase in demand for the automation and quality infection in several industrial verticals.
3D machine vision (MV) systems is capable to inspect, observe, and scrutinize the work performance by using digital signal processing, one or more video cameras, and analog to digital conversion. The data captured is shifted to the computer for analyzing to generate the desired output.
Resolution and sensitivity are two vital factors of any MV system. Resolution accounts for distinguishing in the objects while sensitivity responsible for machine’s ability to identify objects as well as weak impulses in spite of invisible wavelengths or dim lights. The systems principally help in monitoring work environments. It provides features such as robotic guidance, process control, and automatic inspection in industries. Industrial manufacturing and production activities are getting highly complex, increasing unreliability, and creating difficulties for the human eye to observe, detect, and examine activities.
This technology is highly adopted in industrial operations and is substantially substituting manual measurements and inspection, this is accounted to the rising necessity for reliable and efficient measurements and inspection. Machine vision systems use smart image processing systems and cameras to perform accurate inspections and measurements. The technology is gaining significant popularity in pharmaceutical, automotive, food and packaging, and other industrial verticals because of abilities such as improved analysis, monitoring tolerance, enhanced detection of objects, and accurate component measuring.
