Vision System

As a leading machine vision algorithm suppiler in China, mStar offers the Industry's Most Complete Vision System Lineup. Our professional camera and lighting technologies address the most common vision system challenges, such as glare, low-contrast, and acceptable part-to-part variation to provide the image stability, quality and consistency required for nearly any application.  Our vision system lineup includes cameras, lensing, and lighting options, as well as 3D and line scan cameras for increased capability to complete any inspection process. 

Machine Vision Cameras

The quality of an industrial camera defines the stability and reliability of a vision system. Mstar selects high quality cameras in order to provide a complete product bundle to customers.
The technology of industrial cameras has greatly improved in recent years and having access to a reliable and robust high resolution camera with good quality/price ratio is very easy nowadays. With such a vast selection available on the market, choosing the right camera for an application becomes a critical decision while designing and building a vision system.

FA Lens

Through rigorous industrial production process, the high-performance FA lens of Mstar has the characteristics of ultra-high resolution, ultra-low distortion, high uniformity, and high peripheral brightness ratio. It has compact structure, shock resistance, and high and low temperature stability. It can be used in complex environments.                     

We offer the right lens for popular image circles of sensors available in our cameras, from 1/1.8” to full frame, various lens mount, as well as all common focal lengths.  Our lenses perfectly suited for applications like traffic, medical, robot vision, 3D-Measurement, food processing, machine vision and other image applications.

Machine Vision Lights


Machine Vision Illumination


Illumination is one of the most critical components of a machine vision system. The selection of the appropriate lighting component for a specific application is very important to ensure that a machine vision system performs its tasks consistently and reliably. 

The main reason is that improper illumination results in loss of information which, in most cases, cannot be recovered via software. This is why the selection of quality lighting components is of primary importance: there is no software algorithm capable of revealing features that are not correctly illuminated.

To make the most appropriate choice, one must consider many different parameters, including:
• Lighting geometry
• Light source type
• Wavelength
• Surface property of the material to be inspected or measured (e.g. color, refectivity)
• Item shape
• Item speed (inline or offline application)
• Mechanical constraints
• Environment considerations
• Cost

Since many parameters must be considered, the choice can be difficult and sometimes the wisest advice is to perform feasibility studies with different light types to reveal the features of interest. On the other hand, there are a number of simple rules and good practices that can help select the proper lights and improve the image quality.

For every application, the main objectives are the following:
1. Maximizing the contrast of the features that must be inspected or measured
2. Minimizing the contrast of the features of no interest
3. Getting rid of unwanted variations caused by:
       a. Ambient light
       b. Differences between items that are non-relevant to the inspection task
