Embedded Vision
In the industrial environment, especially in digitalized, automated production scenarios, more and more so-called embedded systems are being used. Embedded devices are small, with compact dimensions, highly efficient, and generate little waste heat. Therefore, they are also suitable for limited space conditions. Due to often harsh environmental conditions, they must be particularly robust and resistant to external influences like massive dust accumulation, strong vibrations, and high humidity or even direct contact with water. Typically, embedded devices are handhelds, smartphones, tablets, vision sensors, smart cameras, smart sensors and single board computers. If the systems have integrated machine vision software, they can be used for a wide range of image processing applications. This is known as embedded vision.
