This practical introduction focuses on how to design integrated solutions for industrial vision tasks from individual algorithms. The book is now available in a revised second edition that takes into account the current technological developments, including camera technology and color imaging processing. It gives a hands-on guide for setting up automated visual inspection systems using real-world examples and the NeuroCheck (R) standard software that has proven industrial strength integrated in thousands of applications in real-world production lines. Based on many years of experience in industry, the authors explain all the essential details encountered in the creation of vision system installations. With example material and a demo version of the software found on "extras.springer.com" readers can work their way through the described inspection tasks and carry out their own experiments.

Dieses Buch bietet eine praxisorientierte Einfuhrung in die industrielle Bildverarbeitung. Das Buch liegt nun in einer uberarbeiteten 3. Auflage vor, die die aktuellen technologischen Entwicklungen zum Beispiel im Bereich Kameratechnik und Farbbildverarbeitung berucksichtigt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf dem Zusammenwirken von Verfahren in einem bildverarbeitenden Gesamtsystem einschliesslich der typischen Problemstellungen bei der Integration in die automatisierte Fertigung. Anhand von realen Beispielen und der Standard-Software NeuroCheck wird eine Anleitung zur Loesung industrieller Sichtprufaufgaben gegeben. Basierend auf ihrer langjahrigen Erfahrung legen die Autoren auch diejenigen Rezepte offen, die zwar ublicherweise nicht publiziert werden, fur das Funktionieren von Bildverarbeitungssystemen jedoch wesentlich sind. Mit der als Download verfugbaren Testversion der Software kann das Gelesene nachvollzogen und eingeubt werden.

This practical introduction focuses on how to build integrated solutions to industrial vision problems from individual algorithms. It gives a hands-on guide for setting up automated visual inspection systems using real-world examples and the NeuroCheck software package, included on CD-ROM.
