A brief discussion on the prospect prediction of machine vision industry

         Machine vision technology is an effective way to achieve precision control, intelligence, and automation of equipment and one of the basic technologies for realizing computer integrated manufacturing. Compared with human vision, machine vision uses machines to replace human eyes. Its functional scope not only includes the reception of information, but also extends to the processing and judgment of information. Machine vision has many advantages over artificial vision.

Upstream: Machine vision is a basic functional technology, which includes cameras, lenses, vision controllers, image processing, sensors, algorithm platforms, etc. In addition, a typical machine vision application system should include an image capture module, an image digitization module, an image processing module, a decision-making module, a mechanical control execution module and a light source system.

Downstream: There are many downstream application fields of machine vision. With the continuous improvement of core technology, the scenarios are constantly expanding. The application scenarios of machine vision include consumer electronics, automobiles, semiconductors, virtual reality, intelligent security, health care, etc.

Benefiting from factors such as the continuous improvement of supporting infrastructure, the continuous expansion of the overall scale of the manufacturing industry, the continuous improvement of the level of intelligence, and favorable policies, China's machine vision market demand continues to grow. In the future, as industry technology improves and product application fields become wider, the machine vision market will further expand.

Forecast of machine vision industry prospects

1. Factors hindering industry development

The main obstacles to the application of machine vision products in the Chinese market are: budget constraints, difficulty in use, engineering implementation resource constraints, operator acceptance, understanding of vision technology, and insufficient priority compared to other automation projects. Among them, lack of understanding of visual technology and budget constraints are the most prominent obstacles in current applications.

2. Forecast of industry development prospects

At present, in our country, with the improvement of supporting infrastructure and the accumulation of technology and funds, various industries have begun to have widespread demand for industrial automation and intelligence using image and machine vision technology. In the past two years, relevant domestic colleges, universities, research institutes and enterprises Active thinking and bold attempts were made in the field of image and machine vision technology, and industrial field applications were gradually started.

In the next few years, if the industry maintains an average annual growth rate of about 16%, it is expected that the market size of my country's machine vision industry will exceed 15 billion yuan by 2020 and reach 17.9 billion yuan by 2022.
