How AI Adds a New Dimension to 3D Inspection
Machine vision continues to expand and diversify as new end markets from autonomous vehicles to automated assembly discover its benefits. But the technology will never stray far from its roots in industrial automation, specifically in inspection applications. Continue below.
Advancements in both 3D imagine and AI are – together and separately-introducing powerful new capabilities for detecting defects.
As 3D imaging technology becomes more sophisticated, adopting and implementing it is becoming more intuitive, which has introduced powerful new machine vision capabilities for defect detection, assembly verification, and pick-and-place. And combining 3D imaging with AI-enabled software is poised to potentially transform automation. According to research firm Interact technology, analysis, inspection applications accounted for more than 40% of vision revenue in 2022 and will
still represent nearly 42%, or $3.9 billion, of the market in 2028.
AI promises significant improvements in inspection functions, such as surface inspection, part alignment and positioning verification, defect detection in irregular shapes, and several more.
