Video Inspection Systems

1. Overview

Video Inspection Systems (VIS) are advanced optical measurement and defect detection solutions that combine machine vision technology with precision optics. These systems enable non-contact, high-speed, and high-accuracy inspection of components and materials across various industries. Modern VIS integrates AI-driven image processing algorithms, multi-spectral imaging, and automated analysis to ensure product quality, safety, and compliance with manufacturing standards.

2. Major Types and Functional Classification

Type	Functional Features	Application Examples
2D Vision Systems	High-resolution planar imaging with dimensional measurement capabilities	PCB solder paste inspection
3D Profiling Systems	Laser triangulation for surface topography analysis	Weld seam quality control
Multi-spectral Systems	Simultaneous visible/NIR/SWIR wavelength capture	Food contamination detection
High-speed Imaging	1000+ fps capture with motion compensation algorithms	Automotive component sorting
Thermal Vision Systems	Non-contact temperature distribution analysis	Electrical system thermal mapping

3. Structure and Components

Typical VIS configurations include:

Optical subsystem: 4K CMOS/CCD sensors with variable magnification lenses
Illumination module: Programmable LED arrays (400-1000nm range)
