Seeing Is Believing: Industrial Applications of Machine Vision and Learning
When the assembly line was introduced, industrial productivity increased by tenfold. Placing sets of eyes next to each other systematically allowed workers to dedicate their attention on one portion of the process, utilizing specialization to increase the overall efficiency in a factory. As revolutionary as it was, we soon realized that humans were prone to exhaustion on an assembly line, and as a result, were also prone to mistakes. So, we went back to the drawing board to put new and improved sets of “eyes” on the line, and we came back with Machine Vision.
