Surface vision and inspection refers to a non-destructive method of examining topographical details and locating suspected defects on the surface of an article during the production cycle. It relies on specialized cameras, lights systems, and various equipment for the accurate detection of defects automatically. At present, it is widely employed in different end use industries across the globe to ensure that manufactured products meet the expected visual characteristics. For instance, it is used in the automotive industry to analyze the wearing, proper finishing, roughness, and texture of unsold vehicles.

Surface Vision and Inspection Market Trends:

A consumer’s perception about the quality of a product depends significantly on the appearance and texture of its surface. This represents one of the key factors positively influencing the application of surface vision and inspection tools in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. It can also be attributed to the increasing awareness among individuals about the quality assurance of food items. Moreover, human visual inspection is the most widely used method in aircraft surface inspection. With the mandatory guidelines implemented by aircraft operators and regulatory authorities of various countries to ensure aircraft structural integrity, the demand for modern surface vision and inspection practices is escalating worldwide. These practices involve the usage of a reconfigurable robot with an enhanced deep learning algorithm to inspect the aircraft safely, quickly, and accurately. Apart from this, surface vision and inspection tools are employed in the healthcare industry to examine medical equipment like stethoscopes, heart monitors, computerized tomography (CT) scanners, and ultrasound machines. This, in confluence with the growing prevalence of acute and chronic diseases and easy access to medical facilities, is anticipated to impel the market growth.
