Machine Vision OCR: Reading Part Marks Without Training Data
Why character reading needs no images of your parts, how it differs from template OCR, and the lighting that decides whether a cast or etched mark is readable.
Anomaly Detection: Inspecting With Only Good Samples
The answer to the most common blocker on inspection projects, which is that nobody photographed the defect. Train on good parts and flag what deviates.
Escape vs Overkill: Measuring a Vision System Honestly
On a line at 98% yield, a system that inspects nothing scores 98% accurate. The four numbers that actually tell you whether a station is working.
Machine Vision Lighting: Techniques, Geometry and How to Choose
The six lighting geometries, how to pick one starting from the defect rather than a catalogue, and the five mistakes that quietly cost accuracy for years.
Telecentric Lenses in Machine Vision: When You Actually Need One
The perspective error a telecentric lens removes, the four cases where nothing else will do, and the cases where it is an expensive habit.
