The Infinite Possibilities of Non Visible Imaging & How to Embrace It Machine vision and image processing systems have been able to achieve breakthroughs across industries by measuring or inspecting complex objects of varied shapes, sizes and materials.However, a vast majority of these systems have been traditionally designed to operate in the visible light range of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the range of light that the human eye can detect and have wavelengths ranging from 400 – 700 nanometers (nm). But, that is just the tip of the iceberg!  With the applications of machine vision going full steam in the visible range, tech enthusiasts are now exploring frontiers beyond the visible spectrum. Adding to the shift, technology advancements in vision systems have also evolved beyond the visible range and are now delivering the same precision across spectrums outside the visible range. Let’s dive into the slew of applications of non-visible imaging and the prerequisites to extract the best results.  Non Visible Imaging Radiations: Infrared, Thermal and Ultraviolet The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum consists of the entire range of electromagnetic radiations with varying frequencies, wavelengths and photon energies. Considering wavelength, the…
