PC-Based Software for Pattern, Color, and Color Pattern Matching

Learning algorithms for machine vision are essential for many of the applications that require inspection and guidance. These algorithms typically require some type of learning step before the actual inspection can take place. Some of the algorithms that fall into this category include pattern matching, color matching, color pattern matching, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Industries rely on these algorithms to speed-up manufacturing, increase yields, and improve quality. For example, semiconductor applications require the identification of a fiducial, which aids in the alignment of wafers, and pharmaceutical vendors in the drug discovery arena may want to match up colors according to different reactions that occur.
