The market segment with the significant revenue share in 2021 was smart cameras. A machine vision system known as a smart camera (sensor), intelligent camera (sensor), smart vision (sensor), smart optical (sensor), smart optical (sensor), smart visual (sensor), or smart visual (sensor) is capable of extracting application-specific information from the captured images, as well as creating event descriptions or deciding that are utilized in an intelligent and automated manner.

Camera Type Outlook

Based on camera type, the Machine Vision Cameras Market is divided into Line Scan, Area Scan, and 3D Scan cameras. Area Scan will have a significant revenue share in 2021. The majority of applications employ area scan cameras for image acquisition. One exposure cycle can provide a typical two-dimensional image because of the camera's sensor's vast matrix of image pixels. Different detector characteristics, such as technical elements like various sensitivity, image refresh rates, pixel sizes, selection and trigger modes, noise behavior, etc., can be employed for area scan cameras depending on the sensor used.

Application Outlook

Based on Application, the Machine Vision Cameras Market is divided into the categories of Quality Assurance & Inspection, Position Guidance, Measurement, Identification, and Others. The identification segment demonstrated the market's significant sales shared in 2021. A machine vision camera for part identification and recognition can read letters printed on parts, labels, and packages in addition to barcodes (1-D), data matrix codes (2-D), direct part marks (DPM), and barcodes. While an optical character verification (OCV) system verifies the existence of a character string, an optical character recognition (OCR) system recognizes alphanumeric characters with no prior information.
