Editing Computer vision (section)

=== Machine vision ===
A second application area in computer vision is in industry, sometimes called [[machine vision]], where information is extracted for the purpose of supporting a production process. One example is quality control where details or final products are being automatically inspected in order to find defects. One of the most prevalent fields for such inspection is the [[Wafer (electronics)|Wafer]] industry in which every single Wafer is being measured and inspected for inaccuracies or defects to prevent a [[Integrated circuit|computer chip]] from coming to market in an unusable manner. Another example is a measurement of the position and orientation of details to be picked up by a robot arm. Machine vision is also heavily used in the agricultural processes to remove undesirable foodstuff from bulk material, a process called [[optical sorting]].<ref name="Davies-2005" />
