Ernest L. Hall, Joseph H. Nurre · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1985
The field of robot vision is growing rapidly and promises to provide a great improvement in the versatility of industrial robots. The purpose of this paper is to review several techniques commonly used in robot vision applications, describe some of the solved problems, and to present examples of the various applications of these robot vision techniques. A basic premise of this paper is that the gap between C AD and C AM can be decreased using automatic inspection techniques. The robot vision applications are expanding at an unprecedented rate. This paper is a review and an attempt to tie together the diverse technologies available. The application of robot vision in the integrated manufacturing process may be vital to improvements in productivity and product quality.
