Abstract

We describe a new approach to machine vision which employs local operators with coefficients optimized by a learning process. Any desired performance index may be used and determination of coefficients is achieved on the basis of training images. Experimental results are presented for target discrimination, automatic visual inspection, and the identification of surface defects on materials.
