This last decade has seen a significant increase in the popularity of food-processing imaging systems to perform tasks such as quality assurance, food-safety inspection or process control. Nowadays, almost all major food-processing enterprises have some kind of vision system in operation in their facilities.
One thing almost universally required of these systems is a uniform and stable lighting configuration. Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) continuously evaluate advancements that could improve the performance and utility of delivered systems. In this case, a study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the latest Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for industrial imaging illumination.
