Glossary

Coating thickness measurement refers to the precise quantification of applied material layers on various substrates, encompassing protective films, paints, plating, anodising, and other surface treatments.

The depth of field equation defines the range of distance within which objects appear acceptably sharp in an image.

A diffraction grating is an optical component featuring thousands of parallel, closely-spaced lines or grooves that split and diffract light into its constituent wavelengths.

Embedded machine vision refers to complete industrial vision systems that integrate cameras, processors, and analytical software into single, self-contained units designed for specific manufacturing and commercial applications.

Foreign object detection refers to the systematic identification and removal of unwanted materials or contaminants from products, production lines, or operational environments.

Frame rate refers to the frequency at which consecutive images, called frames, are captured, displayed, or processed per second in vision systems.

High definition video refers to digital imaging technology that captures and reproduces visual information with exceptional clarity, detail, and precision. The technology employs advanced sensors and processing algorithms.

Hyperspectral data processing refers to the computational methods used to analyse and extract meaningful information from hyperspectral images and videos.

Hyperspectral image processing refers to the computational analysis and manipulation of hyperspectral imagery, capturing data across hundreds of narrow, contiguous spectral bands spanning the electromagnetic spectrum.
