A new technology by InnerEye establishes a direct interface between an expert user and an AI system, which enables a smooth and accurate User-AI knowledge transfer and collaborate decisions.
Imagine being able to stand next to your favorite performer during a once-in-a-lifetime concert – or having reserved seating at the 50-yard line for every game or the chance to “run” beside star players as they charge the goal during a league championship. Now, imagine being able to have these experiences while sitting in your living room, commuting home from a busy day at work, or playing the latest multiplayer game.
DeGoulds range of automated vehicle inspection systems assess the exterior condition of a vehicle. The complete vehicle inspections identify any damage and provide specification checks for OEMs and partners in the finished vehicle logistics chain.

ActiNav is a UR+ application kit that simplifies the integration of autonomous bin picking of parts and accurate placement in machines using UR cobots. It synchronously handles vision processing, collision-free motion planning and autonomous real-time robot control.
Optotune and VS Technology present the first wide-angle liquid lens solution for high resolution 1.1″ sensors. With the ability to focus from 100mm to infinity in 20ms, the new 12mm lens is a very reliable and fast focusing solution for today’s logistics and robotics applications.
Systems leveraging AI with real-time object detection through image and video analysis can automate personal protective equipment (PPE) policy enforcement.
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.
Hyperspectral-based imaging is establishing itself in ever new industrial fields of application. How does this technology work and where can it be used?
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.
At the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg (Germany) at the end of November, the main focus was on automation. However, there were also numerous interesting innovations on the subject of machine vision, which were shown there for the first time and will be presented below.
The Inther Group’s fully automated robotic picking solution Gripp (Gantry Robotic Intelligent Piece Picker) was developed with the aim of increasing picking throughput.
The Zeiss Automated Defect Detection (ZADD) software by Zeiss IMT makes it possible to detect even small and fuzzy defects in components reliably, quickly and automatically.
For users of Teledyne Flir fixed thermal camera solutions the Geva 400 iNspect package of Teledyne Dalsa is a simple and affordable solution.
The scanControl AIK adapter by Micro Epsilon enables integration into Cognex VisionPro via the Cognex AIK Server.
The FSM-IMX570 development kit by Framos provides vision system engineers with a framework for developing a working prototype of an indirect Time-of-Flight embedded vision system.
The 2.3MP full HD camera VM-20 with global shutter and MIPI CSI-2 – interface complements Phytec’s camera models with 1 and 5MP resolution and offers up to 120fps in full resolution.
The ECX-3000-PEG by Vecow (sales plug-in) is designed for highest computing performance and AI applications and supports up to 6656 CUDA cores, 52 RT cores and 208 tensor cores.
