How to Monitor Camera Focus with Computer Vision

James Gallagher's blog post outlines the importance of ensuring camera focus in computer vision systems to maintain high detection accuracy, particularly in applications like defect detection on assembly lines. He explains how out-of-focus cameras can result in missed detections and inefficiencies. The post details using Roboflow Workflows, a low-code application builder, to programmatically measure and monitor camera focus without manual coding, utilizing a Camera Focus block to calculate focus values and integrate them into broader manufacturing systems for alerts. He provides a step-by-step guide to creating, testing, and deploying a camera focus monitoring workflow that can be adapted to include additional functionalities like object detection and active learning. The blog emphasizes the flexibility of Roboflow Workflows to handle various inputs and deployment scenarios, enhancing the capability of computer vision projects.
