Miniaturized Camera Systems for Microfactories

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents our work on finding an alternative for standard machine vision equipment to be used in microfactories where small working spaces raise the need for miniaturized equipment. We tested three commercially available miniaturized camera modules used, for example, in mobile phones and compared them against two standard machine vision cameras. In the tests, we compared four selected factors: camera dynamic capability, image distortions, edge sharpness, and smoothness of image brightness.
