Vision Systems Design is a monthly magazine serving engineers, engineering managers, and corporate managers who work for manufacturers and system integrators of vision and imaging systems.

The magazine covers the development of leading-edge industrial (machine vision) scientific, medical, military and aerospace applications.

The interactive version of Vision Systems Design brings you daily updates and news in the technical industry as well as access to four years of editorial archives. Check the calendar of events for the next industry-related conference or refer to the Buyers Guide for product and manufacturer information. A subject search is also at your fingertips.

Vision Systems Design is a global media source serving engineers and engineering managers at OEMs, systems integrators, and end-user organizations, who design, develop, manufacture and integrate components and subsystems for machine vision and image processing systems.

Vision Systems Design provides global coverage of vision and imaging components, subsystems and technologies and how they are integrated into leading edge industrial, medical, scientific, and military/aerospace applications.

Technology Trends
ILLUMINATION TECHNOLOGY: Line light uses LEDs for web inspection
In web-based machine-vision systems, high-brightness line lights must maintain uniform illumination across their width.

IMAGE PROCESSING: X-rays enable weld inspection
By using x-ray technology, manufacturers of piping products can evaluate cracks and bubbles generated after fabrication by rotating these pipes and fittings within the x-ray beam.

IMAGE CAPTURE: GigE camera spots solar cell defects
Driven by government-funded programs such as the German “100,000 Roofs” program, solar power is one of the fastest growing alternative energy sectors in Europe.

IMAGE CAPTURE: Neural-network-based cameras speed patterned surface inspection
It has been more than one decade since Guy Paillet, a partner in General Vision, developed a hardware neuron chip called the ZISC (Zero Instruction Set Computer) that used 36 fully hardwired neurons.
