Machine Vision (MV) is the application of computer vision to industry and manufacturing. Whereas computer vision is mainly focused on machine-based image processing, machine vision most often requires also digital input/output devices and computer networks to control other manufacturing equipment such as robotic arms. Machine Vision is a subfield of engineering that encompasses ,but is good as computer science, optics, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation. One of the most common applications of Machine Vision is the inspection of manufactured goods such as semiconductor chips, automobiles, food and pharmaceuticals. Just as human inspectors working on assembly lines visually inspect parts to judge the quality of workmanship, so machine vision systems use digital cameras, smart cameras and image processing software to perform similar inspections.

Machine vision is distinct from computer vision. Computer vision extends to topics related to autonomous robotics and machine representation of human vision. Machine Vision refers to automated imaging systems including a wide range of computing disciplines aggregated to form a complete solution to visual problems and can be considered a superset composed of Computer Vision and elements such as equipment control, databasing, network systems, interfacing and machine learning.
