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.
