Cameras are playing an increasingly important role in production and quality control. They relieve the burden on people and expand the possibilities of visual inspection. They are part of entire networks of components. In order to cope with the large amounts of data, the industry relies on "intelligent" cameras that not only provide data, but also deliver results. But what must the camera be able to do, what makes it intelligent? Dr. Albert Schmidt, Managing Director of Baumer's Vision Competence Center, provides answers.
