Machine Vision Platform Development / Main Contributors ####################################################### Initial Idea ************ The original idea of this platform borned with a regular request for training in Machine Vision to the *Continuing Education* service of the **Institut d'Optique**. This platform was also designed as a main industrial application of image processing for our future engineer in photonics. Initial Design ************** The initial design of the platform was performed by **Thierry AVIGNON**, technical engineer at LEnsE, and **Julien VILLEMEJANE**, professor at LEnsE. The main objective was to integrate the **basic components of an industrial machine vision platform** (image sensor, lighting system, image processing) and a sorting application level. Learning outcomes targeted by this platform are for our future engineer : * list the main components of a machine vision system * choose and interface image sensor (and optical system) to obtain relevant images * experiment the impact of the lighting system on the quality of the image * develop a sorting application of pieces, depending on their shape or/and their color Main development **************** A first platform was developped at LEnsE as part of a three weeks students project in 2022 by Victoire de SALEON, Flora SILBERZAN, Oscar BOUCHER, Martin COLLIGNON, Samuel GERENTE and Hugo LASSIETTE (promo 2024), framed by **Thierry AVIGNON** and **Julien VILLEMEJANE**. A poster of their work is available by following `this link `_. Continuous Upgrades *******************
