The Backlight fluoreSheet is used to provide affordable, indirect illumination for machine vision applications. Unlike other technologies, it doesn´t require power input. A backlighting effect is created when an orange Backlight fluoreSheet is coupled with a blue LED light and an Orange Bandpass Filter.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
With the newest firmware update, all Photoneo 3D cameras running on firmware 1.10 are fully compatible with GigE Vision 2.1.
With the 3D camera Mech-Eye Deep, Mech-Mind has expanded its product portfolio for measuring larger volumes in logistics with high accuracy.
The Coolens of Vico Imaging is designed to simutaneously image both the inner walls and the bottom of objects, with different shapes such as threaded holes, cylinders, cones, holes and bottles.
With the Solution Package, AT has released a comprehensive software package for users of AT 3D sensors and IR cameras.
Specim’s GX17 NIR hyperspectral line scan camera offers a maximum frame rate of 800Hz with 480 spatial pixels at 168 spectral bands, which is 50% more than conventional QVGA sensor-based hyperspectral cameras.
Teledyne Dalsa’s Linea 2 4k multispectral line scan camera with 5GigE interface simultaneously captures high-resolution RGB and NIR multispectral images.
The confocalDT IFD2410 and IFD2415 series of compact confocal sensors by Micro Epsilon offer high performance in an IP65 housing with integrated Ethercat interface.
ABB Robotics’ AI and vision-based Robotic Item Picker solution can accurately detect items in unstructured environments in warehouses and fulfillment centers and pick them into the provided containers.
The hardware agnostic platform, PiC v1.0 of CapSen Robotics offers advanced motion planning algorithms that ensure collision avoidance while delivering fast and accurate parts picking, regrasping, and even advanced tasks such as detangling and assembly.
For the best possible image quality, the stereo camera BVS 3D-RV1 by Matrix Vision/Balluff is equipped with 12MP sensors for a wide range of detection areas with recommended working distances of up to 4m.
