Answer Key For (2026|2027) Exam, A+ Solutions
What do sensors (heart of imaging system) convert light into?
Sensors convert light into electrical voltage
Nothing happens in a machine vision application without the:
Successful capture of a very high‐quality image
Image quality can be defined as having the
"correct resolution for the target application with best possible feature
contrast"
What are the two factors that determine RESOLUTION?
Resolution - determined by sensor size and quality of optics
What are the two factors that determine FEATURE CONTRAST?
Feature contrast - determined by correct lighting technique and quality of
optics
, True/False - The goal of machine vision image acquisition is to create an
image that's pleasing to the human eye
False -
The goal of machine vision image acquisition is to create an image that is
usable by the technology - not necessarily one that's pleasing to the
human eye
True/False - Electromagnetic energy has similar physical
behavior at all wavelengths/frequencies.
True
(all EM energy is comprised of transverse waves and photons)
List some roles of the camera in a MV system
Provide a physical enclosure with precise mounting and of the
sensor(s) and an appropriate lens mount precisely aligned to the
sensor
Provide the electronics that power, control, and interface with the imaging
sensor(s) to create an image and read‐ out the pixel values
Provide additional electronics to transfer the image to, and communicate
other data and signals with, a processor
Implement features that may be available on the sensor
Furnish convenient access from external devices via suitable
connections, and provide physical mounts for ease of integration with
and external structure
