..., the cutting room operates with conventional, slow, labour intensive machinery, leading to substantial processing bottlenecks and dependent costs. A new system is presented which uses machine vision to determine the required cutting path on the lace fabric in real‐time via sophisticated, yet high speed, image...

...Roy Maslen; Ken W. Platts Discusses a refinement to the process by which manufacturing strategy is created. Builds on an existing strategy process (Platts, 1990) and adapts it to fit more closely within the dynamic manufacturing vision. The method for creating a manufacturing vision allows...

...Siang Kok Sim; Ming Yeong Teo Describes work based on the hypothesis that the use of artificial neural networks can imbue vision‐based robots with the ability to learn about their environment and hence enhance their competence and flexibility. The Neocognitron neural network provides the vision...
