Four major trending topics in machine vision technology include edge artificial intelligence (edge AI), AI paired with high-resolution sensors, event-based machine vision, and affordability of SWIR sensor technology.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and multispectral imaging (MSI) are two related technologies that make use of specialized vision systems to acquire extra image information from extended regions of the electromagnetic spectrum aside from the visible spectrum.

Quickly Autofocus and Overcome Depth of Field Limitations

The growth of automation has introduced machine vision lenses to more harsh environments involving shock, vibration, contaminants, and temperature swings.
