Image processing: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Robots learn to see

Robots are increasingly supporting humans in their activities and overcoming obstacles that were long considered insurmountable. One reason for this is that modern vision systems give robots a "sense of sight", opening up undreamt-of potential for optimizing production. Small and medium-sized companies in particular can benefit from this.

Image processing for robots

Vision sensors control UR cobots

Baumer has developed the new robot-compatible VeriSens vision sensors XF900 and XC900. They can control the cobots from Universal Robots after just a short set-up time.

Deep learning-based image processing

Cognex acquires Korean supplier Sualab

Cognex acquires the Korean provider of deep learning-based image processing solutions Sualab.

Machine Vision

Compatible with MIPI transmission standard

Halcon from MVTec Software can capture and process images from MIPI camera modules as standard. This means that the standard machine vision software is equipped for new developments in the embedded vision environment.

MVTec drives standardization forward

Process automation and image processing grow together

MVTec is actively involved in the standardization of machine vision. This includes the GenICam standard, whose association GenICam Standard Group is meeting in Italy in October, as well as work on the OPC UA Companion Specification for Machine Vision.

Visual Perception System

Visual perception system controls robots

The 3D visual perception system Viper was developed to equip industrial and service robots with visual perception. All object recognition and classification tasks are shifted to a processor of the embedded vision system, and the computing capacities of the robot processor remain reserved for robot navigation.

Video analysis with machine learning

Edge analytics for agile automation

HPE uses video quality assurance with machine learning in Foxconn's server production in Kutna Hora. The challenges lie in significantly shortening the learning process on the one hand and performing image processing in real time without placing a heavy load on the networks on the other.

Distortion correction

Bird's eye view for fish eyes

Distorted images are problematic for industrial image processing applications, as there is a risk that they cannot be evaluated. With the help of real-time correction for distortion, shading and perspective distortion, Baumer now offers a simple way to achieve precise image evaluation for VeriSens vision sensors.

Change of responsibility at MVTec Software

Dr. Wolfgang Eckstein, co-founder, co-owner and one of the managing directors of MVTec Software, will gradually focus more on his tasks as co-owner in the coming months.
