- Vision technology search for term
- is still a relatively young discipline, which had its breakthrough in the early 1980s. It deals with images or sequences of images with the objective of manipulating and analysing them in order to a) improve image quality (contrast, colour, etc.), b) restore images (e.g. noise reduction), c) code pictures (data compression, for example) or d) understand and interpret images (image analysis, pattern recognition). Thus vision technology can be applied wherever images are generated and need to be analysed: in biology (counting cells), in medicine (interpreting CT scanning results), in the construction industry (thermographic analysis of buildings) or in security (verification of biometric dimensions). Vision technology is an interdisciplinary technology that combines lighting, optics, electronics, information technology, software and automation technology.
