Fresh Blood
There is currently a race taking place, which Deep Learning algorithm requires the fewest training images and still has the highest recognition rates. It is interesting that besides the established players, like MVTec or Cognex, there are also a lot of startups in the race (Brighter AI, Deevio, Sentin...). Of course, it is ´easier´ to develop a new algorithm than to become active in the field of hardware development, but honestly: some fresh blood enlivens the machine vision scene and perhaps the startups of today are the market leaders of tomorrow.
Kind regards
Dr.-Ing. Peter Ebert, Chief Editor inVISION
