We salute hackers who make technology useful for people in emerging markets. Leigh Johnson joined that select group when she accepted the challenge to build portable machine vision units that work ...

One of the simplest ways to understand a machine vision system is to consider it the “eyes” of a machine. The system uses digital input that’s captured by a camera to determine action. Businesses use ...

Computer vision has improved massively in recent years, but it’s still capable of making serious errors. So much so that there’s a whole field of research dedicated to studying pictures that are ...

OpenAI introduced GPT-4 with Vision (GPT-4V), which builds upon GPT-4 by incorporating image input capability. Examples of GPT-4 with Vision in action have appeared on social media, demonstrating its ...

Machine-vision systems use very short flashes of intense light to produce high-speed images employed in a wide variety of data-processing applications. For instance, fast-moving conveyor belts are run ...

Advances in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, have generated increasingly powerful capabilities for producing geometrically complex structures that could not be made using ...

Advanced LED lighting arrays can spectrally tune their output wavelength to highlight different features and defects in captured images. The capability enables a single light fixture to quickly adapt ...
