With the advancement of image processing technology, surface vision with charged coupled device cameras has enabled fast image acquisition and reduced false inspection rates. This has become widely used in industrial visual inspection, greatly improving production efficiency, and lowering the labor intensity of the workers. The focus on developing algorithms for machine learning integrated into vision systems with Convolution Neural Networks (CNN), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is expected to drive the demand for vision systems on manufacturing floors over the forecast period.

Furthermore, the adoption of surface vision systems across different industries and sectors, such as electronics & semiconductors, food & beverage, and aerospace & defense, is anticipated to increase owing to the use of automation to lower operational costs, including the cost of labor. The implementation of surface vision systems in various production stages allows optimization of manufacturing expenditures, considerably benefiting in terms of overall operational spending. Thus, the advantages associated with vision systems and various technologies, such as machine learning and deep learning, are attracting manufacturers to adopt surface vision and inspection systems at a faster pace.

3D imaging technologies such as laser scanners can capture the depth and geometry of a surface, providing a more comprehensive picture of defects such as cracks, dents, and unevenness. Moreover, machine learning algorithms can be trained on vast datasets of images containing different components of defects. This allows them to automatically identify anomalies in real time, surpassing the limitations of human inspectors. In January 2024, Doss Visual Solution s.r.l., a machinery equipment provider, partnered with Pan Stone Europe Limited, a sales agency in Europe, to provide visual inspection systems to customers across Europe. Doss Visual Solution s.r.l. provides DOSS 3D Inspection System, which utilizes advanced technology to update 3D images of objects and evaluates them for any irregularities or defects. It is an optimal choice for industries that require accurate measurements and inspections, such as precision engineering and aerospace.
