ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the application of machine vision for industrial quality control in the Industry. The chapter starts with an overview of quality control; and then traces the growth of industrial quality control in the industry has been traced. The benefits of using machine vision for quality control has beenare elaborated. The application of machine vision for quality control in various industries, that includinges automobiles industry, food industry, pharmaceuticals, industry and agriculture have beenare discussed,. and Tthe various applications have beenare categorized depending on the type of quality inspection that is carried out. These categorieszation has been done as are Ddimensional Mmeasurement, Ppresence/Aabsence, Ccharacter Iinspection (OCR, Bar barcode), Pprofile Iinspection, Ssurface Iinspection, and Rrobotic Gguidance. Machine vision applications under each category has beenare explained using practical examples from the Iindustry.
