Image Acquisition

The first stage of any vision system is the image acquisition stage.

After the image has been obtained, various methods of processing can be applied to the image to perform the many different vision tasks required today.

However, if the image has not been acquired satisfactorily then the intended tasks may not be achievable, even with the aid of some form of image enhancement
