Light Field Methods for the Visual Inspection of Transparent Objects

Transparent objects play crucial roles in humans' everyday life, must meet high quality requirements and therefore must be visually inspected. Developing automated visual inspection systems for complex-shaped transparent objects still represents a challenging task. As a solution, this book introduces light field methods for all main components of a visual inspection system: a novel light field sensor, suitable processing methods and a light field illumination approach.
