Machine Vision Market Growth Drivers And Trends 

Ø  Growing Demand From Automotive Industry

Machine vision is capable of enabling inspection of components moving at extremely high speeds, which would be nearly impossible even with a trained operator’s vision. Machine vision, therefore, helps in massively improving production efficiency. Other benefits to the automotive industry through this technology include minimized human labor,  lowered costs, and improved quality of final parts. 

Ø  Use Of Machine Vision In Outdoor Applications

While machine vision is now being extensively used for indoor activities such as analyzing possible system failures, manufacturers have now started testing it for outdoor applications as well. This is particularly challenging in light of parameters such as lighting, temperature, weather, and motion, which can hinder  its application. Researchers are working on this technology consistently in order to make potential industries like automotives adopt machine vision technology, thereby growing its global market.

Machine Vision Market Challenges:

Since machine vision is a relatively new technology, it is witnessing challenges at the development stage. Some inspections are quite difficult to program due to parameters such as lighting, curvatures and others. A possible way to combat this challenge is to accentuate coding techniques and spend a higher amount of time on the theoretical aspects.
