What Is In-Sensor Computing & Why It Matters for Machine Vision

All businesses require quality control and careful inspection, especially in today's technologically evolved world. Performing consistent inspections throughout the manufacturing process guarantees a higher-quality product. Employers have to devote a substantial amount of resources to these repetitive inspections. However, because of the capabilities of in-sensor computation in machine vision, inspections can now be completed much faster and conveniently.

Sparse Modeling: A New Approach to Embedded Vision

In May of 2022, scientists published an image that, despite its visual simplicity, amazed everyone who saw it: the first “real” image of a black hole. But this was not a simple photograph.

How Do Self-driving Cars See?

Driving can be an exhilarating experience. Imagine cruising along a coastline in a convertible or driving a sports car at high speeds on the Autobahn. But that’s not an everyday experience for most drivers.

How Machine Vision Advancements Are Changing the Aerospace Industry

For decades, the aerospace industry has been on the cutting edge of innovation regarding automation, specifically robotics. Aerospace is now adopting machine vision technology for applications from the factory floor to the skies overhead.

Getting Started With Visual Slam

Visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a major advancement in embedded vision with a wide range of current and potential applications. Commercially, visual SLAM is still in its earliest stages of development.

The Power of Machine Vision Inspection

Quality control is essential across all industries. From manufacturing to medical research to agriculture, performing inspections throughout a process helps to ensure a higher-quality product. In the past, workers had to spend numerous hours performing tedious inspections. But thanks to the power of machine vision, humans have been relieved of these fatiguing tasks.

The Latest Machine Vision Advancements

Machine vision has come a long way since it was first introduced in the early 1970s to help factories and growers sort food. Sure, it’s a simple task now but at the time, the concept was revolutionary.

LiDAR Photon Noise Reduction Triggers Breakthrough in 3D & Medical Imaging

Although it’s had much success when used to map 3D environments, LiDAR has always had one major limitation. The more sensitive you make the sensors, the more background noise it picks up.

7 Computer Vision Trends You Need to Know About

Computer vision continues to grow at an explosive rate. Giving robots and other automated devices the ability to “see” their environment opens up new possibilities in all kinds of applications.

How to Choose the Right Interface for Your Embedded Vision Project

One of the great features of embedded vision is its versatility. There is a wide array of choices for optics, image sensors, and interfaces to fit many applications.

Machine Vision Enters All-New Applications

Even though machine vision and automation are coming up on a century of use, demand for vision-enabled automation systems is rapidly increasing every year.

Embedded Vision & the Future of Smart Contact Lenses

You may think this looks like something you’d never see outside a James Bond or Mission Impossible flick, but smart contact lenses may soon help wearers capture and display information about what they’re seeing in real-time.
