As a machine vision specialist, I often get presented with problems that are basically ‘How do I get my camera to see what my eye sees?’ It seems like such a simple task – replicating something that our brain does without thought – but each case offers a unique set of circumstance that needs to be understood and overcome. Working through the variables of lenses, illumination, cameras, and software is a learning experience each time. And I love the challenge to find the right solution for our customers.
