Vision and Image Processing Laboratory

The Vision and Image Processing Laboratory is used for teaching and research activities. A wide range of computers, ranging from PCs to powerful workstations are available. High-resolution monochrome and color CCD cameras are used for image acquisition. A PC-based system incorporating an optical microscope with a motorised stage support automation projects such as the inspection of IC dies. Transputer and C40 boards are employed for projects requiring high-speed parallel processing. Software tools, such as the MATLAB Image Processing Toolbox and neural network simulation packages, assist in the investigation and development of algorithms for a variety of applications.(Left: Automated visual inspection of semiconductor dies)
