Double Vision A Look At Machine And Computer Vision

Simply put, machine vision is a technology that gives industrial equipment the ability to “see” what it is doing while computer vision is an AI that processes and visualizes information, much like a human would. But things in this life aren’t always simple, are they?

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Monitoring Laser Power In Laser-Based Fill & Finish Biopharmaceutical Systems

Custom laser power measurement ensures precise vaccine vial sealing, meeting strict biopharma compliance standards through tailored detectors, firmware, and calibration for critical fill-finish applications.

Novel Technique Advances Super-Resolution Thermoreflectance Microscopy

Shrinking electronics require precise thermal management. Conventional methods lack sufficient resolution, but novel SPTRM imaging enables detailed nanometer-scale heat analysis for tiny semiconductor-based devices.
