Contrast, Control, and Protection: A Practical Guide to Optical Filters in Machine Vision

Optical filters are foundational to achieving contrast, control, and protection in machine vision systems across the UV, visible, and IR spectrums. This practical session introduces the essential role filters play in enhancing image quality, reducing glare, improving repeatability, and safeguarding critical components like lenses and sensors.

Whether you’re new to optical filters or looking to refine your setup, this presentation offers practical guidance for optimizing applications like automated inspection, food sorting, agriculture, thermal imaging, and protective filtering, with a focus on how wavelength, lighting, and system design influence filter selection.
