Introduction to Machine Vision. Part 1, Fundamental Principles and Hardware

This educational text is intended for students of Bachelor and follow-up Master’s study programs. Its goal is to familiarise students with theoretical basis of machine vision and present basics of designing machine vision systems. The problems of optical sensors are rather extensive and description of current states of hardware and mathematical instruments related to image processing would form at least one large publication, therefore, this text should be perceived as a mere introduction to the problems.
