InspecVision Ltd. is a UK company based in Mallusk, Northern Ireland. A manufacturer of computer vision inspection systems, it is one of several local hi-tech companies created as spinoffs or inspired by research conducted at the Queen's University of Belfast.〔Armstrong P.J. and Antonis J.(2000). ECCV 2000, Book Series Lecture Notes in Computer Science, ISBN 978-3-540-67686-7〕〔(Queen's University of Belfast, Computer Aided Manufacturing Research Group, Three Dimensional Modelling Using Active Computer Vision )〕 Other notable examples include (Andor PLC. ), (APT Ltd. ), (Osprey Environmental Ltd. ), Merlin Microwave Ltd. and Integrated Silicon Systems Ltd.. The latter two companies are the recipients of prestigious Smart Awards.〔(Queen's University of Belfast, Dept. of Electrical Engineering )〕 == Technology == While there are many manufacturers of 3D computer vision systems, these systems utilize either 3D scanning technologies or a moving camera to measure an object or scene.〔Pham D.T. and Alcock R.J. (2003). Smart Inspection Systems: Techniques and Applications of Intelligent Vision. Academic Press. ISBN 0-12-554157-0.〕 InspecVision Ltd. produces primarily 2D or 2&1/2D as well as 3D computer vision systems and its customers are often manufacturers of 2D and 3D components such as sheet metal components or gaskets or plastic mouldings. Furthermore, unlike other 3D or 2D computer vision systems InspecVision Ltd. have developed a technology which requires no moving parts, rather a single fixed ultra-high resolution digital camera is used to measure the entire object with a single image. 〔(Ferret, Australia ) 〕 These systems perform measurement times are usually much less than a second. A completely static system also precludes the rigorous recalibration requirements of other moving camera or computer vision systems. The 2D inspection system is the worlds fastest, using only a table, lights and a PC hundreds of thousands of measurements are taken in 0.2 seconds. This patented technology has been the recipient of several international awards, including "Best Quality Control System" at the (MACH 2006 ) MWP Awards〔(Metal Working Production Awards, Results )〕 and 2 (SMART Awards. )〔(Queen's University of Belfast, Research & Development Technology Transfer Programmes, page 9 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「InspecVision」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
