Robot vision system / Computer vision system

This Robot Vision is also known as computer vision. In robots, vision uses the principle of
digital image processing technology. The aim of a Robot vision system or computer vision is to
help the robot collect information about this particular environment, with the help of cameras
(CCD).
For example, let’s consider how a human being receives a vision. Human beings collect
information about the environment with help of their eyes. So with the help of our eyes, we take
a photograph of the environment and process the brain and consequently. We could identify that
as an object. Exactly this particular principle we are going to copy in an artificial way in robot
vision.
Robot Vision – To extract, characterize and interpret objects present in an image/photograph
captured using a camera (Camera setup)
Purpose of the robot vision systems/computer vision system – To identify and interpret the
different objects present in a particular image or photograph.
The robot vision system/computer vision system is simply represented in steps as follows.
