Vision sensor for the industrial quality control

Vision systems in quality control are increasingly widespread but are currently suffering from limitations in certain applications which concern their processing capability as well as their miniaturisation. Today modern optics and electronics makes it possible to consider the integration of the sensors for acquisition and the processors for the image processing on the same circuit. The article presents a broad outline of the sensor architecture and formalises a motion detection method set up in a processor network optimised for a given algorithm.
