In this application, a machine vision system has been set up to automatically detect defects and damage of industrial nozzles utilised in the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) industry

Dr Fabio Caparrelli and Teks Sarl are working on a new R&D project that aims to realise a camera-based system to monitor the operation of a CNC milling machine.

Over the years, we have developed several techniques for recognising and tracking 2D and 3D objects in real-time. These techniques are able to cope with variability of the lighting conditions, presence of clutter, background texture and general image noise.

One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks.
