The Embedded Vision Systems Changing Building Security

Just about every building with a security department has a video surveillance room. In your favorite heist movie, there’s probably a scene where the unsuspecting security guards miss the glitch when their video feed is bypassed.

Embedded Vision Powers Malaria Diagnosis Breakthrough

Despite the global effort to fight malaria transmission, nearly 250 million cases of malaria were reported in 85 countries in 2020.

How Machine Vision is Transforming the Automotive Industry in 2022

The automotive industry has taken some huge leaps forward in recent years. As a result, cars are safer than ever. One gamechanger in vehicle manufacturing is machine vision. And it’s not only being used to build cars.

How 3D Machine Vision Enhancements are Streamlining Manufacturing Processes

For most of their history, automation systems have lived in a 2D world. Now, 3D machine vision is ready to revolutionize the manufacturing process.

How Machine Vision is Used in Digital Twin Platforms for Enhanced Security

Virtual environments can be used to test new factory equipment and layouts, simulate events in which thousands will attend, and discover how traffic patterns would change with new roads or population growth. The virtual versions of these physical objects and systems are referred to as digital twins.

These Technologies Are Taking Machine Vision to the Next Level

Once machine vision was paired with other promising technologies, it’s been taken to a whole new level. Let’s see how some fascinating technologies are working in synergy with machine vision.

Where Is Machine Vision Going Next?

Did you know that the earliest machine vision concepts date back to the 1930s? One of the first applications for machine vision and automation was using food sorting machines outfitted with filters and photomultiplier detectors. Since then, machine vision has come a long way, thanks to improved cameras and computer processing power. But where is machine vision going next?

How 3D Imaging Is Making Train Commuting Safer

Researchers are always looking for practical ways to use new technologies to overcome longtime problems. Railroad rails are constantly subjected to severe stress. Heavy traffic, mile-long trains, braking, and acceleration put train tracks to the test. Fortunately, 3D imaging is making train commuting safer by improving the inspection process.

Why You Need to Know About Hyperspectral Machine Vision

Giving machines the ability to “see” through cameras and other sensors was a significant milestone for the growth of automation and artificial intelligence. At first, the scientists and engineers developing vision technologies were content with simply trying to mimic the abilities of the human eye. Hyperspectral imaging goes beyond those abilities to capture even more information. Here’s what you need to know about this growing trend in machine vision.

How LiDAR & Embedded Vision Increase Safety in Autonomous Vehicles

Automakers are side-by-side in a road race to develop the world’s first fully autonomous vehicles. Manufacturers hope cars that can drive themselves will reduce accidents, improve traffic flow, and allow humans to escape mundane commutes. LiDAR and embedded vision are two vision technologies poised to increase safety in autonomous vehicles.

Inspect Soil More Efficiently With Optical Sensors

The agriculture industry has an increasing number of challenges to overcome if it will continue to feed the growing world population. Many are now using optical sensors to ensure proper soil management and increase farm efficiency.

Improve Data Collection Using Drones

As the Information Age roars on, the human desire to collect data and integrate it into modern technology continues to grow. Drones have allowed humans to easily pay a virtual visit to remote locations that are hard to reach because of harsh environments and natural disasters. Integration with smart glasses is giving drone operators the ability to improve data collection methods with their own eyes.
