How Can We Commute More Safely? Machine Vision May Have the Answer

When people think of traffic and Covid19, they recall the eerily empty streets from the pandemic's early period. In the longer term, Covid has actually increased traffic throughout the nation, as health fears pushed people into cars and away from public transit. According to the Department of Transportation, there has been an 18.4% increase in traffic fatalities since the first half of 2020.

How Machine Vision Powers the James Webb Telescope

When the James Webb telescope released its first images in mid-July 2022, the world was amazed by photographs of the cosmos in more detail than they’d ever seen before. NASA shared images that showed us famous nebulae in more detail than we’d ever seen, Jupiter in a shocking new light, and images from the beginning of the universe. Like the Hubble Telescope before it, the James Webb telescope is able to do this work in part thanks to an amazing technology at its heart: machine vision.

How Machine Visions Helps Solve Food Scarcity

According to the WTO, 345 million people in 82 countries suffer from food security issues as of June 2022. There’s no one cause for this—war, drought, and other external factors play a huge role. One way to ameliorate this problem is by ensuring that, where crops are being grown successfully, nothing is going to waste. Machine vision plays a part in ensuring that everything farmers grow makes it to someone’s dinner table.

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.
