Seeing: machine vision

Even though computer vision systems are not able to match the ability of biological vision in dealing with complex scenes, many problems are being solved. Often multiple sensors are used, including stereo cameras, structured light patterns, laser light striping, and multiple optical wave lengths. The use of sensor fusion to combine information from these multiple sensors provides robust and high speed systems. As computer, electronic and sensor technology develops, this application of multiple types of sensors with high speed data fusion can be expected to increase and provide more robust systems for the future
