我們在比利時的一間種植草莓的溫室中看到了一個非常有趣的畫面，有一臺小型機器人，它穿過生長在支架托盤上的一排排草莓，利用機器視覺檢測系統尋找成熟完好的草莓，然后用3D打印的爪子把每一顆成熟的草莓輕輕摘下，放在籃子里。如果機器視覺系統檢測到果實還未到采摘的時候，這臺機器人會預估其成熟的時間，然后重新過來采摘。
In a strawberry greenhouse in Belgium, we saw a very interesting picture. There was a small robot. It went through the rows of strawberries growing on the support tray. It used the machine vision detection system to find mature and intact strawberries. Then, with 3D printing claws, we gently picked each ripe strawberry and put it in the basket. If the machine vision system detects that the fruit is not yet ready to be picked, the robot estimates the time it will ripen and then returns to pick.
這套機器視覺檢測系統設備能夠取代傳統的草莓種植和收割模式，解決了大多數發達國家都面臨的農業勞動力短缺的挑戰。這臺機器人可每五秒鐘摘一顆草莓，而人類的速度要稍快，平均每三秒摘一個。
This machine vision inspection system can replace the traditional strawberry planting and harvesting mode, and solve the challenge of agricultural labor shortage faced by most developed countries. The robot can pick a strawberry every five seconds, while humans can pick one strawberry every three seconds.
基于成本約束、以及其他采摘草莓的要求開始設計這臺機器人。比如，草莓的莖在采摘時不應留在果實上，因為它會在籃子里刺破其他的草莓。當果實開始包裝時，更紅的一面應該放在上面，以吸引消費者。機器人的視覺系統能夠完成這項任務。
Based on the cost constraints and other requirements for picking strawberries, the robot was designed. For example, the stem of a strawberry should not be left on the fruit when it is picked, because it will prick other strawberries in the basket. When the fruit begins to be packaged, the redder side should be placed on it to attract consumers. The robot's vision system can accomplish this task.
這臺機器人的設計目的是為了與 "桌面" 生長系統配合，即草莓生長在一排排托盤上，而不是田野里，因為這是行業正在發展的方向。在歐洲，溫室種植草莓已經成為一種標準方式，生產的草莓大多出口到了美國。
The robot is designed to work with the "desktop" growth system, where strawberries grow on rows of pallets, not fields, because that's where the industry is heading. In Europe, growing strawberries in greenhouses has become a standard way, and most of the strawberries produced are exported to the United States.
除了更便于采摘，托盤生長系統還更節水，因為系統只需澆灌草莓周圍少量的土壤即可，并且單位面積產量更高。
In addition to being easier to pick, the tray growth system is also more water-saving because it only needs to irrigate a small amount of soil around the strawberries and has a higher yield per unit area.
在工業領域，機器視覺技術也已經應用于工業自動化系統中，以取代傳統上的人工檢查來提高生產質量和產量。從拾取和放置、對象跟蹤到計量、缺陷檢測等應用，利用視覺數據可以通過提供簡單的通過失敗信息或閉環控制，來提高整個系統的性能。
In the industrial field, machine vision technology has also been applied to industrial automation system to replace the traditional manual inspection to improve production quality and output. From picking and placing, object tracking to measurement, defect detection and other applications, visual data can provide simple through failure information or closed-loop control to improve the performance of the whole system.
視覺的使用并不僅僅在工業自動化領域，我們也看到了相機在日常生活中的大量應用，機器視覺檢測系統最基本的特點就是提高生產的靈活性和自動化程度。
The use of vision is not only in the field of industrial automation, we also see a large number of applications of cameras in daily life. The most basic feature of machine vision detection system is to improve the flexibility and automation of production.
在一些不適于人工作業的危險工作環境或者人工視覺難以滿足要求的場合，常用機器視覺檢測系統來替代人工視覺。
In some dangerous working environment which is not suitable for manual work or artificial vision is difficult to meet the requirements, machine vision detection system is often used to replace artificial vision.
近年來機器視覺檢測系統的快速發展，動態識別能力和抗干擾性都有了大幅度的提升！未來，在一些相對危險的工作環境和重復性較高的工業生產中，機器視覺檢測系統的應用將會更加廣泛。
In recent years, with the rapid development of machine vision detection system, the ability of dynamic recognition and anti-interference have been greatly improved! In the future, machine vision inspection system will be more widely used in some relatively dangerous working environment and industrial production with high repeatability.
