The 3D camera technology HemiStereo enables for the first time a hemispherical depth detection. The entire half space in front of the camera is measured three-dimensionally, which corresponds to an opening angle of 180×180° (HxV).
Embedded World 2020 was affected by the cancellation of numerous companies due to the coronavirus. Nevertheless, there were numerous interesting new products for embedded vision and AI to be seen at the fair, which are briefly presented in this follow-up report.
Since today’s artificial intelligence does not develop an awareness of what it learns, AI in principle is completely objective. Therefore the risks of using AI are related to the data and not in the AI itself. The current discussion of AI and ethics aims to prevent artificial intelligence systems from discriminating people.
Visual inspection in parts manufacturing is expensive, complicated and error-prone – this is the general consensus. Inspekto from Heilbronn has made it its business to change this and promises a plug&play system that delivers reliable results in the shortest time and with minimal installation effort. The inVISION has tested this in a self-experiment.
Development of embedded vision technologies is not solely triggered by machine vision players but also by consumer driven application fields such as smart phones. This creates the need to adapt these embedded vision systems to enable industrial solutions to use them. By addressing these needs, hosted by the EMVA a new standardization initiative has been formed.
Thanks to a cross-departmental effort involving material development, semiconductor processing skills, system-level design and much more, imec has realized breakthroughs in the capabilities of silicon-based CMOS imagers to detect short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths above one micrometer.
In order to reach the cycle time at an automated bin picking application at Renault Cléon, a double gripper was designed with a vision system. The cell is in the center of the workshop.
In June this year, Stemmer Imaging and Zivid signed a distribution agreement for the Zivid One+ 3D color camera. We took a moment to speak to Tim Huylebrouck, Product Manager at Stemmer Imaging.
Machine vision engineers from all over the world have gathered from 07 to 11 October in Stresa (Italy) at the shore of Lago Maggiore for the International Vision Standards Meeting (IVSM) Fall 2019. This meeting takes place twice a year under the global G3 initiative which is supported by the machine vision associations AIA, CMVU, EMVA, JIIA and VDMA. But what is the IVSM good for?
The developer’s kit CertifEye is a development, debug, and validation solution. It provides developers with infrastructure that injects known images and videos into FPGA/ASIC processing (IP) or an ISP pipeline under test, process them in FPGAs in near or real time, and return results back to the host.
The expansion of computer-vision-based systems and applications is enabled by many factors, including advances in processors, sensors and development tools. But, arguably, the single most important thing driving the proliferation of computer vision is deep learning.
The FD-D8R is an advanced spectrophotometer designed for in-line color measurement applications. It incorporates multiple miniaturized spectrometers to provide both Specular Component Included (SCI) and Specular Component Excluded (SCE) reflectance measurements.
GigESim is a software package that allows end-users and developers to turn their computer or embedded system into a set of virtual GigE Vision and GenICam compliant cameras
From Liquid Level to Metal Part Assembly Inspection The SC Series Vision Sensor is featured with rich built-in vision tools for diversified inspections, integrated lens and light, and a web-based HMI to improve user experience. To find out what improvements the SC...
Two years after introduction of their 155MP camera Vieworks has added two new ultra-high-resolution models with 151MP and 101MP to its product line-up. Both models include Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) using Peltier effect.
For the identification for headrests in automotive seats for a leading European tier-1 supplier the Castinpector vision system was developed. The solution is based on computer vision and AI using deep neural networks presenting an accuracy rate of 99.95%.
Several months of work by protocol engineers is typically required to design an interface for a vision system. A number of vision camera manufactures, such as Ozray, Crevis and Sick, are addressing this challenge by purchasing transport layer interfaces in the form of intellectual property (IP) which is provided ready to incorporate into FPGAs along with other camera features.
The smart camera Icam-7000 series is the first deep learning edge smart camera specially developed for inference applications.
Tetavi, an Israel-based volumetric video capture company, has raised USD4m during a Series A round.
Seegrid, solution provider for self-driving industrial vehicles for material handling, announced that it has closed a $25 million growth equity investment.
Cubert has found a new distributor in Photon Mission B.V.
Framos, together with EMVA, is organizing a two-day online training on the EMVA1288 standard on May 27th and 28th.
From June 1st to June 3rd the CEI (Continuing Education Institute-Europe) will offer an online course on image sensor technology.
The 18th edition of EMVA’s annual Business Conference (25 to 27 June 2020 in Sofia, Bulgaria) is cancelled.
Machine vision must be even more intuitive in the future.
