Summary

Recommendation ITU-T F.748.16 presents the overview and requirements for applications and services in smart manufacturing based on machine vision (MV). It describes the basic concept, scenario and ecosystem of machine vision, and identifies several typical requirements, such as data acquisition, data preprocessing and data processing. This Recommendation also gives a reference model for MV-based applications and services in smart manufacturing. The general goals of standardization for the MV service are:

–           Defining the requirements of MV-based services and applications;

–           Helping end users and providers to specify the MV tasks and solutions;

–           Enhancing confidence in the MV ecosystem and opening new applications for MV systems.
