UKIVA Machine Vision Conference 2020: IDS explains how to create an intelligent camera without prior knowledge. How can machine vision technology help models are very robust thanks to IP65/67 benefit from on-camera AI and are keen companies to keep their competitive protection class, feature to demonstrate our IDS NXT lighthouse edge? At UKIVA, IDS will showcase solutions for both the ever-growing field 1.6 MP Sony sensors and can detect cloud based AI model generator that opens up this technology to non-experts.” objects at working distances of up to 5 With the all-in-one system offered by IDS, metres. Depending on the application, neither special knowledge in deep learning becoming more and more important, customers can also choose their preferred nor programming skills are required to which is why the recently launched AI model from the 3D camera families create and execute neural networks. This system IDS NXT ocean was designed to Ensenso X and Ensenso N. At UKIVA, makes it particularly easy to get started train and execute neural networks on IDS explains how customers can make with AI-based image processing. industrial cameras even by non-experts. best use of them – for example, for of robot vision as well as novel AI-based vision applications. “Ease of use” is applications such as pick & place or quality As robotic vision becomes more common assurance. and 3D image processing is increasingly Trade show visitors can experience the product novelties either directly at the IDS booth or learn more about them attending the company’s two lectures: used in compute-intensive applications, Steve Hearn, Sales Director UK at IDS: interfaces and CPU power quickly “We’re looking forward to discussing our turn into bottlenecks. Wouldn’t it be latest camera developments in the field convenient if the 3D camera already did of 3D vision and, in particular, the most some of the computing? With Ensenso recent IDS NXT models with on-board XR, IDS offers stereo vision cameras that AI capabilities. We’re hoping to find Further information: process 3D data directly in the FPGA.
