| | Computer vision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Computer vision, on the other hand, studies and describes technical system which are implemented in software or hardware, in computers or in digital signal processors. | | | Cognitive computer vision is strongly related to cognitive psychology and biological computation. | | | Computer vision is by some seen as a subfield of artificial intelligence where image data is being fed into a system as an alternative to text based input for controlling the behaviour of a system. |

| | Machine vision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Machine vision (MV) is the application of computer vision to industry and manufacturing. | | | Machine vision systems are widely used in semiconductor device fabrication; indeed, without machine vision, yields for computer chips would be significantly reduced. | | | Machine Vision refers to automated imaging systems including a wide range of computing disciplines aggregated to form a complete solution to visual problems and can be considered a superset composed of Computer Vision and elements such as equipment control, databasing, network systems, interfacing and machine learning. |

| | Machine Vision Systems |
| | Machine vision was first marketed as a new, must-see technology for manufacturing automation in the early 1980s, a lesser player amid the hype surrounding artificial intelligence and automated robotic assembly. | | | Machine vision systems can be applied in manufacturing clean rooms and can survive environments too hazardous for humans. | | | Machine vision must be told exactly what to look for, and the display of items of interest must be optimized. |

| | In many ways, the uptake of machine vision compares with the use of computers. | | | PC-based vision systems are easier for configuring even sophisticated applications, often for one-off tasks, where a reasonable amount of time and money is available for development. | | | This shows that the use of machine vision technologies is increasing, while the typical price of a system is rapidly falling. |

| | Machine vision is the ability of a computer to "see." A machine-vision system employs one or more video cameras, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), and digital signal processing (DSP). | | | Machine vision is similar in complexity to voice recognition. | | | Binocular (stereo) machine vision requires a computer with an advanced processor. |
