Seeing in Color

Nov. 12, 2007

Here's the reader question we published in the November issue. I want to use machine vision to measure color variation and perform real-time control on our paint nozzles. I am not an expert, so I need a machine vision system that will be relatively easy to design, install, and maintain. Can I do this myself with assistance from the right vendor, or should I look for a systems integrator that specializes in machine vision?
