As smart cameras become more popular, we have seen them being deployed in various different imaging and machine vision applications, including automotive manufacturing, food and beverage inspection, tobacco inspection, embedded systems, and more.

In a July 2015 article, which is covered on the next slide, Andy Wilson wrote:

Smart cameras were once relegated to performing point processing tasks such as presence/absence detection and barcode detection. However, with the reduction in size and cost of sensors, semiconductor memory and the increased capability of embedded processors, it is now possible to purchase smart cameras that can perform many of the image processing functions that, in the past, could only be handled by PC-based systems.
